The second GW event!
This Junmai Ginjo is carefully brewed using all Takananishiki, a fantastic sake rice produced in 2020 and grown under special contract in Minami-Shinshu, and pressed during the coldest part of the year, the "Daichan" season.
It is bottled as it is freshly pressed and has a rich aroma unique to new sake.
Please enjoy this seasonal nama-zake with its daily changes in flavor.
Slightly effervescent? Good aroma, good taste. 👍👍👍👍
Sake from Yamagata. It was on sale at the Nihombashi Takashimaya Department Store. My wife and I drank a lot of it and got it.
When we drank it at home, we found that it was very dry and very fruity. ❣️
Junmai Ginjyo Sarukura no Izumi
Sarukura-no-Izumi, one of the 100 best springs in Japan, is used as the brewing water, and all rice is made from Miyamanishiki rice produced in Nagano Prefecture and polished to 55% by the company.
This sake is fermented slowly at low temperature in Shinshu during the coldest season, and has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and a refreshing taste.
Long tome, I bought it at a tasting sale at Mitsukoshi in Nihonbashi.
Warmed, clear and dry, it was delicious. ★★★★
The claim is
A sake with a deep, rich flavor made using the traditional Yamahai brewing method.
It can be enjoyed cold or warmed, depending on your preference.
On Friday, February 2, an energetic woman was tasting and selling the sake at the Niigata Station Ponshukan. She was boiling water on the stove and drinking it super hot, and she said it tasted so good that I bought it. Today I'm drinking it super hot, and it's delicious... 🍶🍶🍶🍶
It was supposed to be drunk at the end of the year, but it has been aged for two months.
The claim is that it has been matured in a low-temperature cellar at the brewery until this season when the weather gets colder. It is characterized by a full aroma, mellowness and deep flavor.
Hot sake, it smelled a little of alcohol, but it was dry and delicious. ★★★★

First place!
I was so excited that I bought it.
Heated sake...delicious...addictive.
Slightly dry and refreshing. It has a nice aftertaste. ☆☆☆☆
Happy New Year!
The first sake of the new year is a freshly brewed sake called "Echigo de Sori" Hakkaizan.
It is refreshing, crisp, and dry, and we wish you a happy new year 🍶🍶🍶.
Medium dry with a refreshing full-bodied flavor
Nihonmatsujyo is a little different from the usual Daishichi Namikoshi.
The brewer was at the Nihonbashi Takashimaya Department Store last week and we bought it directly from him. The claim was that it could only be bought in Fukushima.
It is a Daishichi, so you can't go wrong with it. It is "medium dry with a refreshing full-bodied taste" as the claim says. ☆☆☆☆
Delicious 😋😋😋😋
Echigo Tsurukame Hiyoshi Oroshi Junmai Aged Sake
Throughout the series, the theme is "light and modern taste". It has a soft and elegant touch at first, followed later by a sweet and sour muscat-like aroma that lingers for a long time. Pour a generous amount into a glass and enjoy the changes in flavor as the temperature changes.
