As the label says, different rice is used for each of the yeast and brewing process... All of that rice is also from Nishigama, which suggests that it was grown with care 🌾. In Niigata City's Nishigama Ward, there are Iwamuro Onsen (hot springs), Kakudahama where wineries are located, the brewery Sasashuku Shuzo, and Hasegawa-ya where we purchased the sake 🌊. The aroma that rises is a strong, natural aroma of rice, with a hint of ripeness. There is little fruitiness 😌. Various flavors are present in the mouth 🤤. Sweetness and acidity are strong. There is still a sense of maturity in the spiciness, astringency, and bitterness, with a hint of fruitiness ❔ and a light salty taste ❔. And the core of the wine was a robust rice flavor that sat at the core throughout 😋 I could feel the power of the rice 💪. Very rich in a way✨ Just a little expensive! One cup, 500 yen 💦.

At the store the other day... ♪ Sake is Junmai Ginjo🌾 brewed by Mame Farm @ Kurashiki in specially cultivated Omachi It seems to be a traditional sake brewed from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. It's not flashy (or at least it's not aiming to be), but you can gradually detect the elegant aroma that is typical of Omachi 😋. It is a junmai ginjo, but it has the fullness of a junmai sake, and is very gentle 😌. The lingering aftertaste is long and the bitterness is pleasant... This sake is also great as a food sake✨ It left a lasting impression😊.

Yamadanishiki for Koji rice, Yumenokou for Kake rice, Junmai Ginjo🌾 with a single heat treatment. It was served chilled and mixed with ori from the beginning. Slightly effervescent, fresh, lactic acidic, pear-like, elegant fruitiness 🍐. Flows like water, sweetness is light and crisp, sharp, and the bitterness is quite strong from the mid-palate 😮. I imagined it to be more fruity and sweet from the composition, but it was not, it was quite dry ⚡️ I enjoyed it slowly over a period of 5 days, but it was wonderful at all times, and it was hard to choose 💦. It is often compared to a lactic acid drink for adults, but this is a drink for adults who know the difference ✨. I liked it a lot 😋. One of the best so far this year👍

Next, I tried to match the motsukko with Tsuchida♪ in Kawaba Village near Nagai Shokudo. The regular Shin Tsuchida is made from rice, as the label says, but this sake is an experimental sake made from Maikaze, a rice suitable for sake brewing, and made the same way. It is labeled as a research brew 🧐. Dark mountain yellow with greenish tints🥃. The sweet aroma of soy sauce and caramel, like that of Shaoxing sake, is an extraordinary atmosphere 😮. It also has a sweetness like caramel and a fruitiness like apricot, which may be the effect of sake brewing rice despite its low whiteness... It has a sweet and sour taste, like a matured plum wine, with a clear cut but very long aftertaste and a strong bitter taste. From lukewarm to the recommended hot sake The umami and aroma quickly pass through the nose, making it refreshing and easy to drink, and it is even more cohesive when hot 🍶. It is generally best served hot, but if you want to enjoy its character (i.e. its metamorphosis ❕), it should definitely be served at room temperature 👍. It's a hardcore battle of personalities with Tsuchida 🥊. Regular Shin Tsuchida might go well with it 🤔. I can't think of any snacks that would go well with it😅

Japanese>English

Hmm? Pervert? Did you call me? Jurian 👋 Oh, really? Your comment shows that you are a pervert! The normal Shin Tsuchida was my favorite cold sake because of its tropical juice sensation😇.

Japanese>English

Good morning, sake-run! I think this one is the Sin Fatty Sake for me 😅. It's definitely an interesting drink ❕. Still enjoying it slowly ✌️

At a restaurant in Nagaoka that has a good reputation for its food and a selection of sake from outside of the prefecture. I asked for Tetorigawa, which has recently been my boom 🙂. It seems to be fire-aged, but there is a slight fizzy feeling 🫧. Fresh and moderately fruity. Light and refreshing, with plenty of umami, but light and pleasant to drink 😦. I like this sake too 😆. The label says "daily junmai sake" and when I asked the owner about it, he said it wasn't expensive... I think this is a great everyday sake ✨. I saw Yahiko Musume on the corner of the menu, so I ordered it, and it was cut from the branch and boiled ❕. Edamame is freshly boiled after all👍. Very different 💦 from the ones I boiled myself. They are pros! 🙇‍♂️

Japanese>English

Hi Jurian 😃 Here we got it too and the label is beautiful 😍I thought it was classic but it's modern and delicious 😋It's cosy and great for a regular sake 🍶🤗Professional edamame! I want to try it: ‼️

Japanese>English

Good morning, Jay & Nobby! Mr. Tedorigawa has a wealth of specialties, and you make a good point... ♪ There are stores that serve freshly boiled edamame, but this one drops them off the branch and boils them right in front of you ✨unbearable 😆.

The word "sake" naturally came to mind. I think it's fire-brewed, but it's fresh and slightly effervescent! Lychee, peach, and grenfre ✨. The elegant sweetness is fleeting and beautifully cut, with a strong sense of astringency and bitterness 😋. Elegant yet casual at the same time, I thought it was fine as is or as a food wine👍. I am now aware that my values of what I consider "beautiful sake" are changing 🤔.

Japanese>English

ジェイ&ノビィ

Good morning, Jurian 😃. I guess "Bishu" is the best sake to drink at that time 🤗It can also change depending on the food and mood you're in 😊.

Japanese>English

Jay & Nobby, thank you as always 🤗 You are right, I used to think that "beautiful sake" in my mind is basically a classic and beautiful sake 🤔. I never really thought so when it came to modern drinks...

Japanese>English

ヒラッチョ

Jurian, good evening😊. I think Jurian's aesthetic sense is that the basic standard of Bishu is classic. I agree with you, and I think that modernity is a different matter. I think Tedorigawa is in a good place👍

Japanese>English

Hi Hilacho, Hello ☀️ Yes, I agree. I don't think there used to be a sense that modern sake was good or even beautiful 🤔. Tedorigawa is very deep and all the different types of sakes are stylish ✨.

Found at the supermarket 👀 Edamame season is here again this year 🫛. There are many varieties in Niigata, but it starts with this very early Yahiko-Musume and lasts until about October 👉. Yahikomusume is shipped with branches, roots and leaves. Probably only Yahikomusume has this shape ✨. It makes me so happy when I see them in the stores 😆. To match is Tamagawa Sake Brewery @ Echino Snow Brewery in Uonuma City, which brews Tama flavor: ❄️ A crisp Niigata junmai ginjo with a mature taste. Slightly sweet and low in alcohol. It has an acidity and a light, dusty taste 😌.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Jurian! I see they are already selling edamame! As expected of the producing area, they are early 🫛. I used to grow edamame in my vegetable garden once upon a time, and freshly picked edamame tastes the best 😋.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😊. In Niigata, it starts this time of year after GW. It doesn't have a strong flavor like tea beans for example, but it tastes fresh and young 🫛.

Japanese>English

ヒラッチョ

Jurian, good evening 🌇. Yahiko musume seems to be early👍 I used to think that the edamame season lasted until August, but a few years ago I had the chance to taste the most flavorful ones in September, and once again I was reminded of the depth of Niigata edamame.

Japanese>English

Hiraccio, good evening 🌙 For me, seeing Yahiko musume with branches is a seasonal tradition 🫛. It's a bit expensive and not often sold in Ojiya 😅.

I finally got it, silver tortoise 🐢🥈. I invited a senior who has been helping me to bring it into the store because I was so happy to do so... She said it's not a joke, but it's beautiful.... I think the good points of Miyamanishiki are fully brought out 🤔. The elegant sweetness flows smoothly and beautifully from the apple and grape-like fruitiness: 〰︎ Clearly a taste of the higher end ✨✨ Our seniors were very pleased😊.

Good evening, Jurian 😃. It's nice that you can finally get your hands on a silver turtle ‼️ and taste it with your seniors who have been so kind to you 🤗and the top tastes😍I hope you'll be pleased 😊.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙. I introduced you to Koei Chrysanthemum before and you liked it 😌. This time Kamerei was the first time for them, they only knew the name 😊. It's a pleasure to share the excitement of a good sake ✨.

I'm going to try to match the motsukko from Nagai Shokudo that I bought the other day in Gunma with the Sei🍶 from the same Shibukawa City. But the Sei Sake Brewery is located in the former Kitatachibana Village. It is quite far away... This is a special junmai made with wakamizu. Wakamizu is familiar to me from my beloved Gunma Izumi 🌾. Slightly effervescent, fresh✨. It has fruitiness like grapes and apples, with a handsome sweet and sour taste that makes you swoon. A little herbal, grassy nuance too 🌿. Nice and sharp, with a touch of astringency at the end 😋. At first I was not sure about this 😣..., But it went surprisingly well with this stew 👍 By the way, when I passed by Nagai Shokudo on Saturday, there was a line of about 50 people or more... The diner is closed on Sundays, and the take-out counter is open only during the day (vending machines are available at night). Even so, the parking lot was full and there was a line for take-out... No, it's very popular 😵...

Japanese>English

ヒラッチョ

Nagai Shokudo, as expected, is very popular👍. I think that Akagisan or Gunma Izumi would probably be better suited to the stewed beef, but I am glad to hear that this special junmai was surprisingly suited to the dish.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio 🌙 It's been a while since I've been to Saint, and I chose it because of the Shibukawa connection. As you pointed out, it has a modern structure, which surprised me a bit, but it was not a bad match 😊.

Junmai Namaizu using Yume no Kaori (aroma of dream). Air leaked out when opening the bottle, but no fizziness when included. It is fresh and has a strong impact of umami and sweetness, but it has a gentle drinking experience due to the low alcohol content. ☺️ Still, you can feel the alcohol in the second half of the bottle...I thought it was an interesting balance... As the temperature rose, nutty aroma and pear-like fruitiness came out. It has a variety of hard and soft expressions ✨

I was really curious about this limited edition Daiginjo✨. I say limited... but they sell quite a few 😅. The aroma of the regular can is not as sweet and mild as the regular can, and has a nice, clean aroma. Fresh and peachy on the palate. Fruitiness 🍑. Then a firm rice flavor (weaker than the normal can), followed by a sharp, mild astringent finish 😌. I think the regular can is for BBQ and the green can is for beach baked fish, but this one is.... I think it's more versatile, and I think it's for seafood, including sashimi 🐟. I want to stock up an icebox full of it and go out to various places 🚃. It's a great time of year to do so 😊. I would be happy if I could open more and more there - a bit of a luxury ✨.

Japanese>English

Good morning. What's up? Jurian was wondering about this too? "The smell of a normal can of mellow ...... is a nice aroma." No, that's exactly what I was thinking. But it's surprisingly inexpensive in terms of Yongbottle. I've got a cooler box full of them! It looks good!

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Sakeran. It looks casual at first glance but when poured into a glass it has an advanced taste ✨It comes in handy 👍 I've been stocking up on them since I haven't seen them around lately 😅.

The aroma of sweet, mild koji malt rises to the surface. When you drink it, it has a melon-like fruitiness 🍈 and the thick umami of the rice comes through with a bang. The sweetness is firm, but crisp and clear. It is like pure ripe rice juice. I don't think there is such a thing as fully ripe rice, but that is my impression. It seems to be a four-stage brewing process, so I guess that's the effect 🤔. 19°❕. But I don't think it's that much degrees and it's refined ✨. I felt like a slightly milder version of Shiboritate by Shiborizuru, but the impression is very different 😋.

Japanese>English

ヒラッチョ

Jurian, good evening 🌆. I have had this before and I have a strong memory of it, with quite a booming rich mellow impact. It is different from Shiboritate of Shiborizuru, but it comes to mind, doesn't it?

Japanese>English

Hi Hi Hiraccio, ☀️ I think you are right about the richness of the sake. I found its thickness to be unparalleled, but it was an interesting sake without much heaviness 👍.

The two types of casks are single-batch casks and casks made from fresh casks. I'm somewhat inclined to go for the nama-zakari because I have the impression that most of the major companies have nama-zakari ❔. Am I the only one who would like to compare the same specs of sake once 🤔... So, this is a rarely seen Kanetsuru fresh-preserved ✨. Fresh but also calm. Enough rice flavor and pear-like fruitiness 🍐. It's 16% but light and you can feel the alcohol at the end 🙂. First fresh stored sake I've had in a while, pretty good👍.

Japanese>English

Thanks for your time 👋. Indeed ...... if it's raw storage and raw stuffing, why do I reach for the latter 🤔?

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Sakeran 🌙 I think it's because I've always been more familiar with fresh storage and see it more often... I don't think I see many major fresh packings 🤔.

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 😅

Japanese>English

ヒラッチョ

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 ✖️😅)
