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 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 😄. I've heard from my sake colleagues that this is a classic, timeless, robust sake 😙.

The last restaurant is Kamikimoto. Warmed sake. Polishing ratio 55 Alcohol content 16%. It has a nice crispness from the umami of the rice. We paired it with yakitori (grilled chicken), and both the meal and the sake went well together.

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 🤔.
Japanese>English

Good evening, soumacho😃. The limited edition for the prefecture is very attractive 🤩. I have a bottle of Kanji Takachiyo's Dry Autumn Rise in my fridge 🤗 looking forward to drinking it!

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. The local and in-prefecture distribution makes me want to drink it because I don't get to visit it often 😄. I hope to someday visit and get some of the Mitatsuru that was introduced the other day 😊. Looking forward to your review of Takachiyo 😙.

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 😙.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃. Well, I was very excited 😄. It's light and acidic so it's easy to drink even in the hot summer 😊. Too bad they don't carry it near us 😢.

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.

In Niigata City. Manotsuru, which was out of stock when ordered in Nagaoka the day before. The sake rice is Koshitanrei. Refreshing aroma. It has a lightness and umami. The dish is sashimi: 🐟️ Niigata sake is easy to drink, so when the sashimi came, I was already on my third glass 🍶. The combination of sake and sashimi is now a divine combination 😄. Yes, my daughter likes shrimp, so I gave up the Nanban Shrimp (南蛮エビ🦐) and went with the Shrimp Fish Cake instead, which she also ordered that day.

In Niigata City. I had a glass of Makiso by Takachiyo Shuzo, which is more familiar to locals than Takachiyo. I haven't tasted Takachiyo yet😅. Alcohol content 15 degrees Celsius The rice is polished flat and washed with microbubbles, and the flat milling is a method to cut the rice thickness. I remembered that when I had a Banshu Ikkyo before, it was made with the Shin Gin milled rice. It seems that the Shin-Gin is a development of Hirabira. The main thing about this sake is that the aroma is mild and balanced. It has a delicious rice flavor, and although it is a pure rice sake, it does not have much of a cloying taste, making it quite easy to drink. The entrée was fried tofu from Tochio. It was thick and satisfying, and it also made the sake taste great 😙.

In Niigata City. After a lunchtime sake tasting and a walk around the city, we went to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) in the city. The first glass was a Tatomo. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. 100% Koshidanrei produced in Ojiya City, Niigata Prefecture This is Niigata Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing. It is a crossbreed of Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku. While maintaining the lightness characteristic of Niigata sake, the acidity, umami, and sweetness are well balanced. The high alcohol content did not bother me and it was easy to drink 😙. The entrée was an assortment of pickles and Nagaoka edamame beans 🫛. A good sake that doesn't interfere with the meal 🍶.
