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 🍶.

At a paid tasting at a liquor store in Niigata City. Said to be a distributor original. It is a bit dry, but it is easy to drink with a full flavor and smoothness. Of course, it has a nice sharpness. It soaked into my body after a hard day's walk.

Sake tasting at Niigata station. Next stop is Yahiko. Soft and moderately umami and spicy. The mildness is unique. I didn't buy it this time, but I was so impressed with its mildness that I want to buy it next time I see it. The photo is the torii gate of Yahiko Shrine ⛩️ and Mt. Yahiko ⛰️ that we passed on the way to Teradomari from Niigata City the next day. I asked my daughter, who was in the passenger seat, to take my picture.

After staying one night in Nagaoka City, we went to Niigata City next. Sake tasting at Ponshukan in Niigata Station. The first cup was a Tenryo Saihei sake. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 15 Wow, this is dry 😲. It retains the umami of the rice and of course has a nice sharpness. Garakudai, made by the same brewery, is also light but more modern. Tenryohai follows the traditional light and dry taste of Niigata sake. I think it was the spiciest sake I drank on this trip.

In Nagaoka. The lady at the restaurant offered me "Abe", a hidden sake of the day that was not on the menu. I was so happy because I had wanted to try it 😄. Alcohol content 13 degrees. Akada is the name of the field. The aroma is apple-like with a pleasant acidity and umami balance. Thanks to its low alcohol content, it is light, easy to drink, and delicious. The entrée is prawn shinjo. When I told her that I wanted to buy some because it is not sold in Hiroshima, she told me that the brewery is located in Kashiwazaki, next door, and that her sister goes there to buy it directly. The next day, I will be heading in the opposite direction to Niigata City🚗.

Next in Nagaoka is Midorikawa. Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15.5%. It is a very light and easy-drinking sake. It has a gentle umami taste with a nice sharpness. The entrée consisted of miso-pickled whale🐋 from Joetsu region, spicy pickled eggplant🍆 from Nagaoka, salmon from Murakami 🐟️, and tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) of oysters🦪 from Sado Island. Surprised that the plate is in Niigata and Sado Island😳. The sake 🍶 went down so well. Especially the combination of the whale marinated in miso and Midorikawa was awesome👍.

From Yokohama to Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, over the Mikuni Pass in Tokyo, Saitama, and Gunma 🚗. Even though it was as hot as 40 degrees in some places that day, it was 23 degrees from Mikuni Pass to Naeba, very cool and comfortable 🎐. The first drink we had at a izakaya in Nagaoka was Murayu. The alcohol content is 15 degrees Celsius. The aroma is moderate and the taste is sweet and sour with a nice crispness. The lady at the store was very knowledgeable about it and said that the alcohol content was undisclosed, and that the harmony was mild and refreshing among the Murasuke, while the other Murasuke were sweeter. Hmmm, I would like to try it 🤔. But I can't pick it up on this trip because it's sold out or something 😢 I'd like to revisit it someday

Good morning, soumacho! Thanks for the long drive to Nagaoka 🚗. I have an impression that Murayusuke is also a sweet sake that I would like to try 🤤. It's great to enjoy a glass of local sake with delicious snacks while traveling, isn't it 😋.

Hi ma-ki-😃. It's fun to drive on a road I don't know well 🚗. I still can't stop tasting the local sake and snacks afterwards 😊. I regret that I didn't get to meet other village yusus this time 😅.

Hi Jay & Nobby😃. The area from Mikuni pass to Naeba is really comfortable and it was amazing to see a couple of monkeys and their children cooling off on the bridge at the pass 🐒. Mr. Murayu, I will try to revenge next time 😠.

I closed the day with Miyamanishiki from Hanahayo Yoku. Personally, I like the gorgeous sweetness of Hanahyokyu very much, but since I don't have a chance to get it, I drank it when I could. The waiter told me that I like Hana-yosuyu too 😄. It is my favorite brand. Polishing ratio 40 Alcohol content 16 100% Miyamanishiki The umami part of the mouthfeel is very different from the Bizen Omachi and Yamadanishiki we drank on this day, and of course it has the gorgeous pineapple 🍍 feeling typical of Hana-yosuyu. The finish is more refreshing than the Omachi 😊.

I got sick of wanting to drink 14yo on my trip, so I ordered it as a cure 😷. I asked a junior colleague of mine who was suffering from the same disease what specs he had had, and chose the one that was not covered by the disease, Ryu no Ochishiko. Polishing ratio 35 Alcohol content 15%. 80% Ryu no Ochishiko produced in Yamagata Prefecture The melon-like fruity and rich sweet flavor comes from the Yamadanishiki and Kinmonishiki lineage 🤔. The mother lineage is Miyamanishiki, but I can't help but feel the goodness of the father lineage. Of course, the sharpness of the balance after the sweetness is a masterpiece of perfection 😊.

Kawanakajima Genmai, whom I have never met in my hometown. It's your first time ✨ Polishing ratio 49%. 16% alcohol by volume 100% Miyamanishiki It has been a long time since we have had Miyamanishiki sake. It is a gorgeous sake with a plump rice flavor that expands, caramel-like sweetness, richness and bitterness, and then it finishes. The umami is unique, perhaps because it is Miyamanishiki, which I am not used to drinking 🤔. This richness and bitterness is also delicious 😁. I went to several liquor stores that day, but I couldn't find Genmai, so I ordered it because I really wanted to drink it with frustration 😢.

The shooting beauty that you drink when it's on the menu. Polishing ratio 50%. Alcohol content 16%. Ibi no Homare This time it is a junmai ginjo. The fruity sweetness like a peach is followed by a clear crispness. It's a complete turnaround, but the fact that you can feel it like this is what makes it so delicious 😊. I think this was the most spectacular Imi I've had so far 🤔. This one continues with sushi 🍣 and edamame 🫛.

First time in Yokohama in a year: ⚓️ There seemed to be an African summit going on, so the atmosphere was very lively. We went to a sushi restaurant we visited a year ago. We started off with a hana-yosu. Rice polishing ratio 40 Alcohol content 16 100% Bizen Omachi It has a gorgeous aroma with pineapple-like sweetness, deliciousness and acidity. The latter half is juicy and juicy. This was my first time to drink Oumachi Hanaohayu, and it is so delicious 😊. We had it with sushi 🍣 in no time ✨.

My wife sometimes receives local sake🍶 from people who take care of her. Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content is between 17 and 18 degrees Celsius Made from 100% medium-ripened Shin-Senbon It has a full-bodied rice flavor and is a bit dry. Although the alcohol content is high, it is not that heavy, and it goes well with edamame (green soybeans) and gyoza (Chinese dumplings) as a side dish 😊. I had been drinking a little bit of sake before I got into sake, but after experiencing it in various ways, I feel differently about it. It was delicious once again 😋.
