Abe-san was purchased on a trip to Niigata. This one was purchased in Niigata City because the timing was such that I was still unsure about visiting the brewery. Polishing ratio 45 12% alcohol by volume ＋The + is due to the addition of a single distillation shochu (distillation of sake lees) by Hashira shochu brewing. Amazing 🤔. The aroma is not gorgeous, but it is delicious. The citrusy acidity is the main ingredient, and the rice flavor and sweetness are added, and it finishes with a crisp acidity. It's light and easy to drink with little bitterness, and it's very tasty both on its own and with seafood or sashimi (batou-dai this time) 😊. Today it suddenly got cold, so we went to Matsue City in Shimane Prefecture to get some ingredients for a violent seafood hot pot 🍲 with anglerfish, crab, and spear squid. But at the supermarkets in the San-in region, each is under 500 yen and anyway inexpensive.

Hi soumacho 🐦. ＋I read the + description 3 times... anyway it looks delicious 😆👍 will study it 🤣. By the way, Abe-san was also in Niigata, right? That was a fruitful trip👍✨

Hi Pon-chan 😃 You don't hear much about shochu brewing in sake 💦. Sake brewing is also very deep😅. I'm sure it's delicious👍 I have one bottle of sake left from my trip to Kanto and Niigata in no time 🥲.

Good morning, soumacho 😃! Abe-chan💛➕'s shochu brewing! I'm curious about this one! It's autumn 🍁 and it's the season for delicious hot pots 🍲.

Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃. It's an unusual combination of brewing + distilling ✨. I'll try my best to talk about the detailed differences 😅. It's a fun time of year for pot 🍲 and sake 🍶 combinations 😙👍.

Genzai-san has been the talk of the town in Sakegawa. I had planned to get it on my trip to the Kanto region, and I was able to get it at the Hasegawa Sake Shop in Nihonbashi 😙. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 100% Fukunoka from Aizu Fukunoka is the first sake brewing rice from Fukushima prefecture. When the bottle is opened, it makes a nice sound. It has a gorgeous aroma with a hint of fruitiness and a muscat-like sweetness. It also has a nice citrusy acidity and a slight bitterness that gives it a nice sharpness 😊. This is my favorite 😋. No wonder it's a hot topic. Fearless is the information network of Sake no Wa 🤔 The combination with the pork belly and radish stew was especially ummah ✨.

Good morning, soumacho! Genzai-san, I often see you on sakesawa and I was wondering about you too, but your review looks delicious with a good balance of gasiness and citrus 🤤. I am afraid of the sakewa information! I'm sure you're right 🤗.

Sake from Sado Island that I had bought back in Niigata🍶. I had received a bottle of Maryo from a sake tasting, but now, now.... Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 16%. The top aroma is not strong and slightly floral, with a hint of pear-like aroma and a slight sweetness and umami that finishes with astringency and dryness. Overall, it is clear, modern and slightly dry 😊. It is a little high in alcohol content, but the ease of drinking without feeling it is dangerous 😙.

In Maebashi city while traveling from Kanto to Niigata 🚗. Yes, I bought a packet. When I see a character cup of sake, I can't resist 💦. It's important to motivate users to buy 😙. 15% alcohol by volume Sweet and tasty. Closes cah and slightly dry. It has little bitterness and is very easy to drink. It is also good with sashimi👍.

That is a cute cup of Gunma-chan sake! I think I would buy it too if I found it. It is a food sake, isn't it?

Good evening, Jyunichi 😃. Thanks for your comment. It's a good kick to get in touch with that brand and I'm steadily adding more cups of the character 😅. It's for food sake, but it was easy to drink among cups of sake.

Today we celebrated our daughter's birthday a day late 🎂. We went to Itoshima to get some ingredients and celebrated with hand-rolled sushi. We also took on the challenge of acquiring a certain sake and were able to get it, but this evening we opened a bottle of Kawanakajima Genmai, which we had acquired on our trip 🍶. Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 15 Made with 100% Kinmon-Nishiki The aroma is not strong and relatively mild. The soft mouthfeel is boosted by a sweetness hidden in the umami, and the bitter taste and chirichiri-ness finish it off nicely. It makes good use of the alcohol additives 😄. The flavor of the fish 🐟️ and octopus (🐙) is enhanced, and the sake goes well with them anyway 😊. My dad enjoyed it more than my daughter 😙💦.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃. Thank you very much on my part 😊. My daughter used to eat only salmon roe and corn for sushi 🍣 but before I knew it, she started to eat a lot of things including raw fish. Her sense of taste is also growing up, isn't it?

This is the second bottle of Takachiyo I had bought in Niigata. This one is Junmai Daiginjo🍶. Polishing ratio 45 Alcohol content 16%. 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Minamiuonuma The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, and the sweetness is quickly followed by a clear and dry finish. The sweetness has a richness, and the spiciness is not too strong, but it is exquisitely balanced. This is a great drink 😊. The Kanji character "Takachiyo" is also a no-brainer 🍐.
Japanese>English

Good evening, soumacho! Kochira Takachiyo-san definitely looks delicious 🤗The strongest Kanji theory is proven in our opinion 😄.
Japanese>English

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. It's fire-roasted, but it's gorgeous, beautiful, and ummmmay 😋. I'd love to try the autumnal one you had the other day 😊. It's really interesting that Takachiyo-san has a Hiragana party and a Kanji party 🍶.

I was touring the shopping streets in Tokyo when I saw this sake 🍶 and bought it home. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 16%. 100% Gohyakumangoku The aroma is a little gorgeous ginjo aroma, and while the acidity is the main taste, the umami and sweetness of the rice can also be felt, with a well-balanced bitter taste from the acidity. It has an image of being light, but it is anything but that. It says it has been aged for 150 days, but the sense of maturity is not strong. It can be drunk as it is or with other food 😙. It is delicious 😄. I had it with bonito tataki for the entrée, and the acidity and slight sweetness brought out the umami 👍.

Kawanakajima Genmai, which I was sad to not get on the first day of my trip to Kanto and Niigata last month, was the first store I drank at. On the second day, I was able to pick him up on my way from Yokohama to Niigata Prefecture 😊. Polishing ratio 59 Alcohol content 15%. There is a slight sweetness of rice in the umami, and after the bitterness is added, it finishes crisp and clean. I had it cold at first, but on the second day, I was told that room temperature was recommended, so I had it at room temperature as well, and the umami was fuller and more flavorful 😄. The bitterness is pleasant, as I felt with the Junmai Ginjo 🍶.

Good evening, soumacho😃! Oh! Here is the Genmai you got with your revenge 🤗I'm curious about the one with a pleasant bitter taste 😋.

Good evening Jay & Nobby😃. Yes😙 all the hard work on the first day paid off👍. The Junmai Ginjo was more spectacular, but this one is easier to pair with food😊.

The last one is Saku-san, whom I had not had a chance to meet for a long time. We finally got it 😄. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. It has a gorgeous aroma, sweet and juicy. It was described as slightly sparkling, but I don't know if it has been open for a long time or not, I didn't feel much gas. But it is full-bodied and delicious 😊. The downside is that the bottle is so stylish that you have to have a good sense of where to take the picture💦.

The second drink at the second house was Momokawa-san's Oomatsuzo. Hiyayogoroshi is No. 1 as I hadn't had it yet this year 😄. Polishing ratio 65 More than 17 degrees Celsius, less than 18 degrees Celsius It is well-balanced, mellow, and full of flavor. It is not too heavy for its alcohol content. It goes well with iburi gakko (pickled ginger). When I see a brand I'm not familiar with, I always want to try it 🍶.

At the second standing drinking place. The first Etsukaijin. I wanted to try this brand at least once. Polishing ratio 68 Alcohol content: 17 to 18 degrees Celsius 100% Akaban Omachi It has a rich, full-bodied flavor and is very satisfying to drink, including the acidity in the back end 😄.

It's been a long time since I've been to Jikin. Polishing ratio 60 Hachitanishiki 80%, Yamadanishiki 20%. Alcohol content 15.5%. Compared to the previous junmai ginjo made with Tojo Yamadanishiki, this is less fruity, but the sweetness afterward is addictive and still delicious 😊. Whenever I have Jikin, it's always Tokujun. The waitress told me it was Aizan a while ago and I wanted to try it😅.

The day has changed by the time I posted this, but on this day, I went to Yokogawa with my colleagues after work for dinner 🏃. Yokogawa is, to put it bluntly, the area next to the A-bomb Dome. The first one was "Bikyuu". Polishing ratio 45 Alcohol content 15 100% Yamada-Nishiki The rice flavor is full of acidity and has a clean aftertaste. It is easy to drink with little bitterness. It is also easy to pair with food.

I couldn't find it in Minamiuonuma city, so I went back to Niigata city to get it. The purple label is only available in the prefecture 😅I was glad to see it. Polishing ratio 65 Alcohol content 15%. It is the same flat polished rice as Makiki, which is made by the same brewery. It has a mild ginjo aroma, a soft sake quality, and a dry finish with a clear rice flavor and acidity. It is a dry sake for a mid-meal drink. I haven't tasted Hiragana yet, so I have to try this one too 🤔.

Sake obtained in Kanto on this trip to Kanto and Niigata and returned 🍶. It is a new brewery that took over the business in 2024, so I haven't seen it in my hometown yet 😢. Alcohol content 15 degrees Celsius Made with rice grown under contract in Matsukawa Village, Kitaazumi-gun, Nagano Prefecture It has a fruity aroma with pear-like sweetness, followed by acidity, and finishes with bitterness. The sweetness is mellow and lingering. Sweet and delicious juicy type has been available for the first time in 10 days😄. I prepared a variety of entrées, but I liked the combination with chicken 🐔 teriyaki, which is not in the picture 😊.

After finishing the work that had piled up after the trip, I went to Abe-san for dinner after a long time 😙. The day after the information I received from the izakaya lady in Nagaoka, I changed my plans from Niigata City to Teradomari and then to Kashiwazaki to visit a brewery 🚗. I was so excited when I turned off the street into an alley and saw the brewery 💦💦. One of the bottles I bought there was SAZANAMI. 12% alcohol by volume. 100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Niigata Prefecture The mouthfeel is beautifully light, typical of Niigata sake, but then a fresh citrus sweet and sour taste emerges and finishes with bitterness. It is a modern pale sake. It's like grapefruit juice🥤 for adults. Like the Akada we drank last week, it is very easy to drink and slurries up very nicely 😊. The entrée was sockeye salmon and shrimp shinjo that I had bought back in Niigata. I like the Ebi Shinjo 😙.

The final drink of the Niigata tour. If you check carefully, you will see that I have completed the Sado Island's sake breweries on this trip! I should have done it. Rice polishing ratio 40 Alcohol content 16%. 100% Koshitanrei It is firm and dry with a full-bodied taste. Although it is alky, there is no unpleasant taste and it has a good sharpness😄. I enjoyed Niigata sake on this trip, but there are still many brands that I haven't tried yet, which is a shame 😢. The photo is of the Shinano River from the Bandai Bridge we crossed on our walk and the Bandai Bridge 🌉 on our way back to the hotel after a nice drink.
