Ah, it's good.
I came home from work today looking forward to this drink.
It's fresh, crisp, and yet full of flavor.
I guess this is what winter's reward is all about.
This bottle was served at a ryokan in Niigata where I stayed with my wife.
The first time I drank it, I was impressed by its softness.
The next day, I went directly to the brewery. The proprietress politely guided me to the brewery and said, "First, drink the water.
The spring water, which was super soft, was as soft and tasty as if it had been melted snow itself.
The ryokan offered only brewed sake, but I bought a bottle of ginjo, which the proprietress recommended.
It was a rounded bottle that directly reflected the gentleness of the water nurtured in the heavy snowfalls of Uonuma.
The taste is quiet like a snow chamber, and is deeply satisfying.
My son's souvenir back home was "Kaze no Bon".
I opened it with the boiled fish I bought in Toyama.
Toyama sake and Toyama taste.
It was a night to think of my son who is far away and feel the same scenery.
The brand name is inspired by the Owara Kaze no Bon Festival in Yatsuo, Toyama,
It has a gentle ginjo aroma like a quiet night breeze,
It is characterized by its gentle ginjo aroma like a quiet night breeze, and its long, lingering sharpness.
Yonesuru Junmai Namaisake Happo-nigori
Pleasantly effervescent. The amazake-like aroma is followed by a gentle sweetness and a sharp stimulation.
It is fresh and has a sharp acidity like white wine, making it a good match for dishes with stronger flavors than sashimi.
The nigori flavor and gaseous sensation make this an addictive bottle.
This is one of those bottles that made me say "this looks good" the moment my wife pulled it out of the refrigerator with a smile on her face.
The slightly cloudy bottle was as clear as melting snow.
In the mouth, it has a soft sweetness and a sharpness that quickly disappears.
It has the elegance and power of Tsururei.
This is the one for tonight.
#Tsururei #Aoki Shuzo #Ginjo Nama #Niigata Sake #Sake no Wa
Fresh aroma unique to unpasteurized sake.
The mouthfeel is mellow and the umami of rice spreads well.
The aftertaste is light and refreshing, with a sense of transparency that does not tire the drinker.
A bottle that will leave your glass empty before you know it.
This is a Junmai made by the Shimaoka Sake Brewery using the natural lactic acid bacteria that comes with the brewery.
It is brewed with natural lactic acid bacteria that comes from the brewery, so it has a refreshing acidity at first, followed by a deep umami flavor. It is a little dry with a sake degree of +3, so the aftertaste is refreshing.
I was drinking it thinking, "This is the taste of lactobacilli from Ota City.
The week is over.
I came home from the office alone.
Sake with the wife is the best thing of all!
Niigata Prefecture, Chojamori, Junmai Ginjo
Slightly fizzy, mildly refreshing
It is light, crisp, and refreshing. If you drink it cooled down to a crisp, even on a hot night, you will find yourself saying, "Whew....
I think this is a bottle that should always be kept in the refrigerator in the summer.
Hot spring No. 1. Hot spring sake. A soft, refreshing and tasty sake brewed with the Shima Onsen hot spring water. The bottle is beautifully colored Shima blue, and we got it at a liquor store in the hot spring resort area. Now I'm having a glass with my wife while talking about memories of our trip!
The first sake made with ancient rice. It is said to be made from ancient rice from Toyama.
From the first sip, the mild Shaoxing wine-like aroma and flavor spreads out.
The aftertaste, however, is clean and gently enveloping.
Just as the name suggests, this wine has a noble "princess" feel to it.
It has a gorgeous aroma that spreads in your mouth, a refreshing sweetness, and is easy to drink like a white wine. It has no peculiarities that make you want to drink more and more... dangerous (laugh).
It goes well not only with Japanese food, but also with light cheese and fruits.
The moment you take a drink, you can't help but say, "Wow! The impact of this wine is so strong that it makes you say, "Wow!
While the robust umami flavor fills the mouth, it also has a sharpness that is typical of a super-hot wine at +19.
However, the spiciness is not spiky at all; it is somehow rounded and surprisingly soft as it passes down the throat.
The balance between the sharp aftertaste and the mellow throat is exquisite.
This bottle was recommended to me at a malt shop in Itoigawa. Contrary to its apparent richness, it is light on the palate and spreads a gentle sweetness. It doesn't have the heaviness that nigori sake tends to have; in fact, it's light and easy to drink.
This is...delicious. Or rather, it's good. I can honestly say that I thought so.
Kenshin (Junmai Ginjo)
I met this bottle at a koji shop in Itoigawa on the way back from visiting Kasuga-yama Castle, the residence of Lord Kenshin, which I had longed to visit.
The taste is dignified and beautiful. Slightly sweet and full, yet with an aftertaste that quickly disappears. I savored it carefully.
Mitsui no Kotobuki
My son chose this bottle as a souvenir from his trip to Fukuoka.
As soon as I sipped it, I couldn't help but spill out.
Who am I...who am I...I am Hisashi Mitsui, the man who never gives up..."
Just like the famous scene in the movie, the aftertaste was somewhat bitter, but at the end, it was soaked in.
Before I knew it, I had already had another cup.
This is a "bad-ass sake.
At a diner in the Shinminato fishing port, we started the morning with a bowl of pickled seafood. It enhanced the flavor of the fish without interfering with it, and the aftertaste was refreshing. It was a luxurious morning drink.
Yoshiju (Junmai Ginjo)
A bottle brewed with the famous water of Kururi, Chiba. It is smooth on the palate and has a crisp, clean taste. It goes well with a meal, and I found myself downing a bottle before I knew it. It is an elegant and unrefined sake.
