We were given a free tour of the brewery at the brewery, which is about a 15 minute walk from Niigata Station.
There was a free tasting afterwards, but if I heard that I could pay 1000 yen and taste more than 10 different kinds of sake, I would go👍 as a sake drinker.
After tasting many different kinds of sake, I liked the wooden barrel brewed sake, so I bought it!
When I tasted it, I chose it because I thought it had a nice woody aroma, but maybe it was the difference in temperature, I didn't feel that much when I drank it cold, but it had a good balance of sourness and sweetness and a nice crisp aftertaste. ☺️

Purchased at a liquor store near Kanazawa Station
When I asked the liquor store if they had another brand as a food sake, they recommended this one, which can be enjoyed as much as a meal.
It has a good balance of umami and acidity, but not too much sweetness, so it is a good sake for a mealtime drink!

I liked Houken dry sake that I bought on a previous trip to Hiroshima, so on a business trip to Kure, I bought a bottle at a liquor store near Kure Station.
I bought a bottle of "White Label" at a liquor store near Kure Station.
White Label" is bottled when it has been stored at a low temperature for a while and the flavor is fully developed.
A perfect strike 👍!
It was the best balance that I can't complain about!
I'm looking forward to the next one since it's only available for a limited time...

Sweet, but no bitter aftertaste.

When the bottle is opened, it has an aroma that is typical of a draft sake, a sweetness that is more elegant than tasty, and an aftertaste that is somewhat lingering but not bothersome.
After a couple of days, the aroma has settled down and it becomes easier to drink.

Not much of a scent.
When I put it in my mouth, I felt a little bit of carbonation.
I thought it might be sweet because it is a pure sake with an alcohol content of 15, but it has just the right amount of umami and sweetness.
The aftertaste is sharp and refreshing, and it goes on and on and on.

At a Western-style restaurant on a business trip to Nagaoka
with Western-style katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice)
Aroma of pineapple
When you drink it, it tastes like an apple.
Pleasant bitter aftertaste with a nice sharpness
I have never had a drink like this before.
Does it depend on the glass?
Even if you drink it with a Western-style pork cutlet bowl, it doesn't lose at all.
Akabu is good 🥰.

Slightly carbonated, then sweet, then tasty.
No unpleasant aftertaste, but I would like a little more spiciness.
If you raise the temperature, the spiciness comes out.

I stayed at a hotel in Shimizu on a business trip and the welcome drink was sake 🙌
There were 3 brands and I chose this one!
It was between chilled and cold sake.
Umami, dryness and smooth aftertaste.

Moderate aroma
Dry with just the right amount of umami.
Seems to go well with all kinds of food.
The sake leaves a bitter or astringent aftertaste, but it doesn't bother me while eating.
The aroma does not interfere with the meal.
Today I served it with chilled tofu and mizutaki.

When poured into a glass, it has a mild aroma and a gentle taste.
It has a moderate ginjo aroma and is gentle on the palate.
The aftertaste is tangy and dry.
Serve with yakitori 🍶.
Goes well with liver👍

A little aroma and sweetness on the palate.
Although it is claimed to be dry, the gentle sweetness is impressive.
The initial aroma and sweetness remain as an aftertaste.
Went well with the sweetness of fried corn👍

I was researching Hiroshima sake and was curious about the ultimate food sake, so I bought it.
It's dry, sharp, and has a good umami of rice.
It's a shame that the 4 gou bottle ran out so quickly!
I wanted to buy it in a bottle.

I had never had summer sake before, so I bought it for its name and appearance.
When I bought it, I was told that it was like a rum jelly, so I took a sip to see what it was like, and I could smell and taste the sweetness.
I thought the sweetness would linger on the palate, but it quickly fades away.
It's not a food sake, so it's best enjoyed after a meal by itself or with a light snack.

Polishing ratio 92
No particular peculiarities or unpleasant tastes, but good as a medium-bodied sake with the desired spiciness, umami, and acidity.
Both the polish and the taste were "hard-core"!

I don't know if it was the characteristics of the Manzai rice or the degree of polishing, but I remember it tasted a bit bland.
I would like to try a more polished version.
