Junmai 🍶
Here is the 10th cup of Uosen.
My wife says I can feel the cocoa 🍫 for a moment 😅 maybe a little bit of maturity. Yellowtail cutlet, good but more filling than expected 😋.

I wonder if it's a normal sake 🤔.
Here is the 9th cup of Uosen drinking comparison.
The label says it's dry, but it's surprisingly sweet and gentle ☺️ Japanese sweetness. Mozuku vinegared, after all, the rock mozuku from the Sea of Japan is crunchy and delicious 😋.

I wonder if it's a normal sake 🤔.
Here is the 8th glass of Uosen drinking comparison.
Matured dry 😳may be a little harsh. It has a little strong acidity, so I think it's more suited for warming up than for cold sake. Gisu karaage is delicious 😋.

Here is the 7th cup of the Uosen drinking comparison.
It is light and dry ✨As you drink it, it has a sweetness like Wasanbon. It is a sake that has a gradually rich flavor.

Here's the 4th cup of the Uosen drinking set.
It is rather heavy 😲 and slightly matured. But not too bad. Spicy acidity.
There was a picture of "Recommended by Mr. Kazuhiko Ota" at the entrance of the restaurant 😉.

This is the third sake in the Uosen drinking set.
It's a bit heavy and spicy behind the refreshing acidity. A little spicy and heavy behind the refreshing acidity. It's a bit spicy and heavy behind the refreshing acidity. Sashimi with a side dish of sashimi 😋.

Normal sake 🍶.
Here is the second cup of the Uosen drinking comparison.
Heavy, thumping 😳 Sake suitable for warming up. I would have liked to have had it heated instead of cold 😅I guess it's a standard sake that must be included in the sake comparison set.

Junmai Ginjo🍶.
First time at Kappo Uosen, a famous restaurant that Kazuhiko Ota has visited several times✨.
We chose the 13 local sake drinking set. Here is the first one.
A little aged. But it is sharp and crisp. Paired with yellowtail sashimi, it rounds out the flavor.

Tochio doburoku🍶Kame-no-o brewing🌾 rice powder version
Here is the last 19 cups of Nagaoka Sake-no-jin.
Comparison of steamed rice and rice powder. This one is rice powder version. The acidity is effective. But it is more smooth than the steamed rice. It is dry and easy to drink. If you want to drink it as a sake, I think this is the one 🤔.
I had a great time talking with the people sitting next to me at the Nagaoka Sake Festival ✨I hope to attend again next year 😆.

Tochio doburoku🍶Kame-no-o brewing🌾steamed rice version
Here is the 18th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jin.
We compared two doburoku (doburoku) produced by UNE, a certified nonprofit organization, one made with steamed rice and the other with rice powder. The steamed rice brew has a sour 😆citrusy 🍊mushroomy texture. It's more like food than alcohol😅.

Junmai 🍶Newly-pressed raw sake ✨Jange "Orange Snake", super dry.
The 17th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jin is here.
It's called "super dry," but it's a little on the light side. Light. It also has a slightly burnt taste. Jange" comes from the name of the Otaki waterfall behind the brewery 🐍.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Jokozai Senjo⚔️Niigata Prefecture Koshitanrei🌾.
Here is the 10th cup of Nagaoka Sake no Jinjyo.
Following the Junmai, this one is also aged. The weight is less heavy than the Junmai. The acidity is also moderate. Like the Junmai, I think this one is best for warming up.
