My favorite Tamitsu✨ Probably my first experience with a sake using Kami no Ho: 🙇‍♂️ Banana-like fruitiness and some ester notes. Fresh, smooth and tasty, with a good amount of sweetness, and it finishes nicely: 〰︎ I think it is a typical Tokujun 👍. It's a very nice and refreshing wine. I don't think it has the presence to overwhelm others, but it is very friendly and easy to drink. A casual happiness in everyday life: ☺️

I've never had much luck with Kuheiji... This is my first time drinking at home. It is also the first time for me to drink nigorigo. Reserved for a guide from the online store. I was somewhat curious 😉. The thing that impressed me the most was the throat action. Or rather, its behavior in the oral cavity before that. I guess that's why people say it's like wine 😋. It's also on the level of Premier or something 🍷. Fresh, very light gassy, lactic acid and melon-like fruit. A bit greeful. Grain-like in the second half? Flavors like potato shochu...? I was curious because it's very refined😅.

A liquor I found at a liquor store in the city that focuses on western liquors, which I don't see much else. I've seen Mr. Black's chief somewhere else... 👀. Next to it is a sweet 🍶 in a Choujamori boar cup found at a popular pastry store in the city. It is a fresh chocolate made with N-888 Premium in collaboration with Niigata Meikozo 🍫. It is fresh and has flavors like green apple and lychee? The fresh, green apple and lychee-like flavors and refreshing sake quality are common to all Chojamori. It is also very drinkable and has a sharp taste, followed by an assertive bitterness and astringency. The impression is that it is truly a Niigata sake with the characteristics of Koshitanrei well expressed. It is definitely delicious. As for sweets, I'm not really good at sweets by nature... but this chocolate is smooth and elegant with a hint of sake ✨. N-888 Premium is also made with Koshitanrei, so it's the same as sake 😅

Jurian, good evening😊. I see you have navy: ❗️ I drank Dry and Delicious the other day. The Choujamori boar cup, for a moment I thought it was my home 😅I had a sense of déjà vu.

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio 🌙 I'm not sure how the Chosan series is positioned, but there are a lot of different ones ❕. The store owner said that the navy~ is only available in the store and in the Ponchukan 😮.

I found a rare beer. I first quenched my thirst there and then had a related alcoholic beverage 😋. tOKi brewery is a craft brewery on Sado Island, and this KINTSURU BLONDE was brewed jointly with Kato Sake Brewery, which also brews Kintsuru on Sado Island. It seems that freshly steamed Gohyakumangoku from Kato Sake Brewery was brought to the brewery for use 🚚. I've been drinking a lot of IPAs and other stimulating beers lately, so it's been a while since I've had a round beer😌. It is fresh with citrus flavors, but still a refreshing beer made with rice. It was a beer that felt Japanese: 🇯🇵 The sake is an activated nigori sake from the Kaze-Yawaraka brand. I believe the rice used is Gohyakumangoku, so it may be the same rice as the beer✨. It doesn't blow but the fizz is strong (there is an air hole in the stopper) 🫧. But it's been a long time since brewed, so maybe it was more rambunctious 💥. The flavor is fresh and gradually spreads to the palate~! I found both wines to be of understated quality😊.

There are 16 sake breweries in Nagaoka, but this is the first time I have had a chance to face it properly at home. This is the first time I have faced it properly at home. 🙇‍♂️ Honjozo with 60% polished rice✨ A clear, crisp sake with a robust rice flavor 🌾. It gives the impression of a classic Niigata honjozo, but here in Chuetsu, it was a little sweeter, more like a sake from the Joetsu area 😋. A lingering aftertaste. It is versatile and seems to go down smoothly (the drinkability is really noteworthy ❕). Nothing outstanding, but when I drink this kind of sake, I feel the underlying strength of Niigata 💪.

Oh no... I should have let it sit for a day - I was caught off guard😱. Spouting -> automatic stirring🫧. The guy at the store said it wouldn't fizz much 😩. GOZ nigori version 🤍, which is a Hasegawa store exclusive. It's a pretty dark nigori. Fresh & fruity, with some greenish nuances. After green apple, lime and lactic sweetness, what passes through the nose is a mint flavor ☘️ Fine effervescence spreads in the oral cavity, and after some time, a strong astringent taste 😌. It is not very flashy and gives the impression of a Niigata sake 🌾. I didn't find it to have a strong character, but I would like to try others 😊. Will it be the Echigo's Rising Star? ⁉️

I think Taiyozakari's Shikumo was a brand limited to special dealers in the prefecture. I like the concept of "fresh rotation" ✨and "local production for local consumption". I thought it was a rival to the freshly squeezed Shiboritate from Murakami, but my impression was very different 🤔. It has a cream soda-like top, fresh, melon, a little estery. The astringent and pungent taste in the latter half of the bottle is very strong, but it is also 15%, so it doesn't hit you as hard as the Shimebari Tsuru. It has a strong alcoholic taste and is very strong, so it is not as easy to drink.... It's like an everyday Niigata sake ❕. It went perfectly with the flounder👍 (Served at ✖️😅)

This is probably the first time I've ever had freshly squeezed raw ginjo sake! The nose is subtle, with a sweet aroma of rice and a little herbal 🌿. Fresh, apple-like fruitiness, a little bit of cemedine 🍏. It has a long, astringent, spicy aftertaste with a long finish. I guess my memory of it as a clean and clear ginjo was wrong... It's more like a massive chugin, which is a precursor to the special honjozo we had last year ✨. And as is often the case with Isoboast... The flavor doesn't settle down right after opening the bottle, and it doesn't really show its true potential until about the 3rd day ❔.

First visit to this precious ramen restaurant where you can enjoy drinks and various dishes at night 🚶. The owner seems to be a Japanese chef who has been operating a kappo restaurant nearby for a long time ✨. This was my first drink after quenching my thirst with a glass of beer! The last time I had Chitose Tsuru was when I couldn't imagine such a modern label 🤔. The nigori is not so thick, but it is a bit rough and I could feel the lees! But it is not heavy, light, fresh, fruity, and goes down easy 😋. I felt it was one of the best muddy wines I've had this season 🏆. I had a hard time deciding which snacks to order, but I was happy to have a strategy meeting with one of them 😆. Everything we had was delicious 😋. You can choose the amount of alcohol you want to drink, and it's a great place to capture the hearts of sake drinkers👍. Of course, the ramen noodles to finish off the meal were also excellent 👍

Good evening, Jurian 😄. If it weren't for the kitchen's hot water colander and the picture of the last ramen, you wouldn't think it was a ramen shop, it's a stylish sake snack 😳 Winter hikuma is good too 🤤I could drink about 3 more cups with the broth from the last ramen 😁🍶.

Thank you, Aladdin 😊. It's ramen with shamo broth and they use three kinds of shamo... It was also a good accompaniment to heated sake 🍶.

I've been wanting to try this drink for a while ✨. Here, Nagano sake is rarely seen in liquor stores or supermarkets, but I found this at a nearby supermarket 👀 some kind of fair ❔. I love these classic and classy labels ♡. The taste is just like a classic sake 🍶. I didn't really feel the Nagano character, but it's an all-rounder that accepts a variety of snacks👍.

New brewery re-launched last year✨ I think this is probably my first experience with both the rice used "Celebration" and the yeast used "Kyo no Koto". Sweet aroma with a sense of freshness. Not too fruity, classic sake aroma 🍶. It goes through smoothly without corners like water 🍶. Light green apple and muscat-like fruit, acidic and lemon-like. It has a refined sweetness. Overall, it is round, gentle, and nicely integrated. The acidity is impressive🍋. Somehow a strange sensation that I haven't experienced very often... The acidity makes it feel like a modern sake for a moment, but it seems like it's basically a classic sake 🤔.

A new line, the first Miyamanishiki🌾 in the brewery. I'm curious to see how it will look like. How about Koei Kiku meets Miyamanishiki 😆. When I opened the bottle, I took a sniff of the top...totally different. Like pineapple 🍍. When you drink it, you can taste apple, pineapple, pear, peach? The sweetness is light, and the acidity is long. The sweetness is light and clear with a stretchy acidity 🍃. It is extremely light (like a cloud ❔), which is probably due to the low alcohol content. When the temperature rises, I felt a little bit of fragrance. The thing I found most unusual was the almost complete absence of citrus flavors that were generally common... 😮. On the second day, I did notice a glimmer of orange-like flavor in the back... I've always felt that Koei Chrysanthemum has a nostalgic cute sweet and sour taste with a modern flavor, but this time I hardly felt it ♡... Very drinkable though ✨

No cloying taste, clear, with a strong sense of rice flavor 🌾. I don't feel much fruitiness, and the acidity is rather effective. Somewhat woody nuances... I think Nagano's sake is different from Niigata's in this kind of everyday sake. It is cool and refreshing, reminds me of a meadow 🤔.

This is the first time I've seen this bottle of the esteemed Etsu Kaijin 👀. Similar visual to the blue bottle 🌊. It looks like they brewed Omachi in the same way. That Omachi also seems to be a mixed brew from Kagawa and Okayama ✨. The nose is subtle, with a caramel-like aroma and a sweet aroma of rice 🌾. But when you drink it, it's surprisingly refreshing and super spicy ❕ (Sake meter rating +15💦MMMM...). Really tastes as pure as the bottle 🍃. As the temperature rises, the umami starts to come out and I started to taste some melon and pear-like fruitiness in the back 🍈. I tried heating it up to lukewarm and it became more refreshing and sharp. But I think it's better when it's cooled down... I thought this sake should be cooled down before tasting to enjoy its hidden quality and Etsukaijin's complex character 🤔. And I think it is a good introductory sake to Etsukaijin 👍.

Version I was previously reported. Again, no mention of the rice (last time was Gohyakumangoku). Sparkling 🌟. The sweet, honey-like aroma suggests a rich, mellow sake. It is sticky, viscous, fresh, and fruity like a peach 🍑. The rich umami is thick, but the acidity is assertive and gives the impression of being balanced at a high level. The lingering finish is also firm👍. The temperature rises, and the sake becomes more like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. I think it is a valuable individuality in Niigata 🤗.

Sometimes I go here for after-parties ✨ It calls itself a dining bar, and the food is mainly Italian and Western 🍕🥩. I've only been drinking wine and other western liquors, and I don't think I've ever taken the time to look at the drink menu... Then, to my surprise, there were about 20 kinds of sake on the list 😮, including sake from outside of the prefecture such as Romain ❕. I selected the first one I've ever had, the Green Itsu🍀. It was rich in fruitiness like melon and pineapple, and had a strong umami after the sweet and sour taste 😋. The only thing is that it seemed to be the last glass in the dark place, and I had the impression that the bottle had been opened for quite some time. It's not a draft sake, but if it had been earlier after opening, it would have shined more 💦🤔. I took a sip of my companion's Tsururei Koshitanrei, which was also delicious 😆.

We revisited the tavern we visited at the end of the year 🚶. After having beer, draft sake, nigori, etc., we asked for a recommendation for heated sake, and this is what we were served 😮. As the name suggests, it's a laughably clear orange. The color is brighter than amber 🍊. R1BY, the first release from the brewery was in April last year! Tobikiri heated up to about ♨️ It is surprisingly light with good acidity. But it has a great aged umami and is wonderful ✨. I had another glass without even having time to try the warming sake 😋. The perfect balance to suit the mood of the day at this temperature 👍. I knew it would taste even better warmed up, but I wanted to enjoy the flavor so much that I quickly opened another bottle 💦. It's nice to end the day with this kind of sake 🤔. The owner of the restaurant lamented that Togo's production was changing. I looked it up... it was already sold out 😢.

New Year's house drinking starts here 🎍. Green apple, pear, grape...elegant ginjo aroma 🍏. Smooth flow, sharp taste, and a gentle aftertaste... But it's not a clear, gorgeous (lacking in character) daiginjo, it has a solid umami and sweetness in the middle, which is the very flavor of tasake 🌾. Very clean, refined, and rich ✨. It is a sake that is both modern and classic 😋.

Hi Bob Hikohiko 😊. At first it was like a Daiginjo-esque Daiginjo, but after some time, I realized that this is indeed a Tasake ❕. Please enjoy it ❕.

I had a lot of trouble purchasing this alcohol 🤔. I've had some alcohol to go through recently and the price... ⤴️ However, it is a stored sake from the sake brewed around the time of the opening of the business, so I thought it might be filled with the thoughts of the brewer. I've had a lot of sake from here during that time, so I still wanted to taste it 😌. It was aged unfiltered and raw in sherry casks. I like sherry and sherry cask whiskey, etc., so this was another deciding factor ✨. On opening sip. The aroma is a sweet aroma of rice and floral aroma of sherry. When you taste it, freshness and maturity coexist, with a woody aroma and a citrusy orange-like flavor in the back. It has a woody aroma and a citrusy orange aroma in the back. This is an after-dinner drink after all 🤔. As the days go by, the freshness recedes and there is a complex cereal aroma, a savory sweetness like caramel. In addition, coffee, nutty, vanilla-like flavors stand up and become a bit rum-like 🥃. I wonder if its rivals are dessert wines 🙂. I don't have much of a habit of drinking it myself, so I've been chipping away at it for over 6 months now in refrigerated storage😅. Thank you very much for your support this year: 🙇‍♂️ Happy New Year everyone 🎍.
