地元新潟のお酒に親しんできましたが、まだまだ勉強中です。 日本酒遍歴としては金鶴、真稜から入り、鶴の友で育ててもらいました。 楽しみは旅行先、出張先で当地のお酒を飲むこと。居酒屋新幹線、六角精児の呑み鉄本線の影響で移動中も飲んでることが多い。

It is soft on the palate, with the umami and sweetness of the rice coming first. Drank cold, it is mildly spicy. It has a characteristic bitterness at the end. It seems to go well with strong dishes. After a few days, the bitterness became weaker and the taste mellowed. This was delicious. Purchased at Fresh Matsuya Sawada store.

Fresh fruity aroma upon opening the bottle. Soft on the palate, with a slight carbonation. The sweetness and umami of the rice can be felt clearly, and it is crisp and easy to drink. It seems to go well with everything. After a few days, the gassiness is gone and it becomes even softer on the palate. One of the best sake for me personally. Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop Kameido

Dry, sharp and clean aftertaste. I think it goes well with all kinds of food. This time I served it cold with chilled tofu and Wakasagi Nanbanzuke. Purchased at Yoshiike (Okachimachi)

On the way back from Matsumoto, on the limited express Azusa. It has a sweet apple-like aroma and a light, refreshing taste. It was a delicious sake that made us feel that a single-bottle bottle was not enough.

I had to go to Kofu and bought it at the station on my way home. I chilled it in the refrigerator before serving. It has a nice aroma and a sweet, dry taste with a slight bitterness afterward. Personally, I thought it went well with cheese.

Easy to drink dry. When served cold, it is very sharp and easy to drink. We enjoyed it with sashimi.

I bought a limited number of bottles at Yoshiike in Okachimachi without hesitation. When I was in Niigata, I used to drink it with natto tempura and dried squid at Yoshihan in Nishi-ku. This time, I drank it cold with deep-fried tofu from Tochio (with natto), boiled firefly squid, and sashimi of amberjack. It has a soft, watery mouthfeel, with a strong flavor but with a good sharpness. I think it is a sake that can be paired with anything.

Purchased at Yoshiike, Okachimachi. It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness from the rice. The aftertaste is refreshing, making it very easy to drink. The combination with sashimi of squid and sea bream was good, and it was stable and tasty.

Bought at Seibu Ikebukuro. Drink it cold. It has an impressive fruity aroma, good mouthfeel, and sweetness. It is easy to drink. I served it with sashimi of sea bream, fish cake and tofu. All of them were good, but it might be better to use ponzu rather than soy sauce. It's like a refreshing dish.

I bought this at Sendai station on my trip. At first, the taste of rice spread, and later, I felt the spiciness. I served it cold with vinegared mackerel, and it went well with it.
