This is also Nigorinpic⁈Kame no Kai, one of my favorite sake from Shinshu, which I think is especially delicious. The first Hosoyuki. This one has a fresh, melon-like, pineapple aroma. The sweetness is elegant, and if you have a high alcohol metabolism, you may not be able to stop.

I had no luck with the first and the second, and finally got the third. The sweetness, freshness, and fruity taste of the Ichi and Bin are stable. The first is the first time I've ever had the chance to taste it. It's delicious.

Thank you, Mr. Studying. It's a luxury of luxury. I'm sure it's too good to be true, but it might be a problem to let them participate in the Nigorinpik.

This year's Nigorinpik is a select few. Toraya used an unusual technique in that they used an original sake rice developed by Tochigi Prefecture [Yumesasara], which is not considered to be a good rice for sake brewing. Whether this is the reason or not is unclear, but it is clear and dry with a hint of sweetness? The LaFrance aroma is irresistible. Toraya's technique is well done!

The last of the Nagaoka Sake Festival was a Kubota from Asahi Shuzo, a big name in the Nagaoka Sake Festival. Kubota is difficult to choose from, but I'll go with Beniju from the color series. It is a junmai ginjo with a mild aroma, which is typical of Kubota, but it also has a good amount of rice flavor and some acidity at the end, but I couldn't tell. As one would expect from Kubota, this is a high quality sake.

Nagaoka's camp, 6. Super major appearance. Niigata, the oldest brewery. Yoshinogawa, founded in the Warring States period. It is said to have won a gold medal in the heated sake contest, but we had it in hiya. This may be a drawback of having a large group to compare sake. However, the sake is delicious even when served chilled, as one would expect from Yoshinogawa. We felt like we must have had it somewhere before, so we didn't buy it. It was the first time we met again, and it was like we were saying hello to each other. This is rice! Rice wine. I know what you mean by drinking rice. Fine white rice and pickles, it's an endless loop.

Nagaoka Sake no Yorozuya 5, also for the first time, is indeed the best Nagaoka sake in Niigata, which boasts the largest number of sake breweries in Japan. More and more sake is coming out. This one is a bit more Echigo-style, but not too sweet and smooth. However, it was a quick drink in a rush, so it may be different if you take your time to savor it!

The Nagaoka Sake Festival, No. 5. It's getting more and more suspicious. This is Sekihara Sake Brewery, another first for us. It is a long-established brewery founded in the Kyoho era in Edo, and while it used to be a major manufacturer in China, it insists on cold brewing and the Echigo Toji technique. I thought Kubota and Hakkaisan were Niigata sake, but there is no difference. It has a firm, ricey flavor, as one would expect from the Nagaoka domain, which is a rice-producing region. The gentle ginjo aroma also shines.

Niigata is Nagaoka's sake party? The organizer of the event, who was not a sake drinker but a sake connoisseur, gathered all the local sake breweries in Nagaoka for the event. The number of sake breweries is the largest in Niigata, with 16 breweries, which seems to be second only to Kyoto City on the city level. Since I had given up trying to drink all of the sake from the beginning, and for some reason I also had to have a beer today, I went to the sake corner toward the end of the day while the conversation was still going on. There were at least 10 brands lined up. First of all, this was the first sake from Koshi Meizou. Takane-nishiki is rare. Although it is junmai (pure rice), it is fruity, especially when you put it in your mouth, and the fact that it is so crisp and refreshing makes it a tanrei!

Today we are visiting Nagaoka, Niigata's second largest city. We enjoyed Nagaoka's local sake at the first meeting, but first, this bottle at the second meeting. This is the blue label I had hoped to encounter. This freshness in a fire-roasted sake is indeed hiragana takachiyo. It had a nice sweetness, I guess you would call it dry. Since I drank quite a bit of it, I couldn't really taste the rumored grapefruitiness. But I guess the acid bitterness is. Ah, here it is, the beginning of the Nigorinpik!

Year of the Snake zodiac bottle drinking comparison, Tetorigawa is my favorite in Ishikawa. Compared to the Hidakami, it has more sweetness and acidity. It has a sweetness and acidity compared to Hikakami. The aroma is not flashy like a Daiginjo, but it is fruity and delicious.

I received two separate bottles of the Year of the Snake, perhaps because of my 60th birthday and the year of the man of the year. The bottles are exactly the same Venetian bottle, made in Italy. There are also Dewazakura, Kunigon, Manjusen, and others. This Hidakami was smooth, silky, and clean, just like water. It is really delicious. Hidakami is the best!

Year-end party, Sake Rice Project 8 (Sorry for the consecutive posts.) This is Miyagi's sake rice [Gin-no-Iroha], which I have positioned as a rival of Hyakumangoku-no-Haku, and is a semi-regular in the sake rice project. This time, Momohaku-san Taniizumi is a kijo sake. I think this is the second time I have tasted it. I think this is the second time I have tasted this sake. Fruity and clear taste. Delicious! I bought this bottle at Daimaru Tokyo store and happened to meet a person related to Katsuyama, so I was glad to hear about the brewery.

Year-end party, bring-your-own project No. 7, expanding the area a bit from Hokuriku to Nagano. Senjo-san, I think it is quite big in Shinshu, but I don't see it in Ishikawa. We bought it at Shinshu Osakemura in Shinbashi. I've had a lot of Yamae Nishiki, but this is the first time I've had this one. Is Shinshu sake a mountain sake? I think it is so broad that it is difficult to summarize as "mountain sake". It feels gorgeous, like a daiginjo, and has a surprisingly ricey feel to it. It is delicious. GI Naganosake.

Year-end party, 6th bottle of sake rice project, Gifu limited edition Shiromayumi, purchased at Hirayu bus center, as Gifu is our neighbor. It is a sake from Hida. It is said to be light and refreshing, but it is a mountain sake. It came with a thud. The sake rice is Hidahomare, which was produced for Hida sake, and it is said to sound like a bass note. The finish was crisp and clean.

Bringing in the Year-End Party 5, Hokuriku Love Edition. Niigata, a sake kingdom, developed Koshitanrei to surpass Yamadanishiki. It is available at Pon Shukan Niigata Station. The Kinmasu-san is quite rare, and the label is also very festive. It seems to be a Niigata limited edition. It's not so much light as it is mellow. It has a strong camel-like taste.

Year-end party, bring your own series 4, Hokuriku version. This is delicious. Japan and Hokuriku are very big. [Sakahomare is an original sake rice developed by Fukui Prefecture. It is very rare to find because of its small production. For this occasion, I went to Fukui to buy it. Sakahomare seems to be used for daiginjo, and many of them are expensive. If you don't consider the cost, it is really delicious. It has a mild aroma and elegant rice flavor. It is like a good sake, and the second and third cups are always better. In Fukui, there is also rice for rice called "Ichihomare," which is also delicious.

Year-end party No. 3, the Hokuriku love never stops! This kura master award-winning sake was brewed by Haneya with Tominokou, an original Toyama variety that is extremely difficult to grow. It was a bit sweet, but it was easy to drink. I thought it would be the most popular sake, but I was wrong. But it is definitely delicious!
