On a recent trip to Niigata, I visited the famous Niigata restaurant "Brothers Sushi. The restaurant is particular about Niigata sake, and when I asked for sake, I was served only Niigata sake. The second was Garakudai, a collaboration sake with UNITED ARROWS🍶 UA collaborates with various breweries. And recently they have released Akabu. It is a low-alcohol sake with acidity, which is typical of UA's style. It's a UA collaboration that never fails to deliver. This one is also delicious✨.

On a recent trip to Niigata, I visited the famous Niigata restaurant "Brothers Sushi. As the restaurant is dedicated to Niigata cuisine, I ordered only Niigata sake, which was also on the menu. The first was Kirinzan. The first was Kirinzan, a sake made from Takananishiki rice. When I heard the name Kirinzan, I had an image of it being very classical, but I was surprised at how modern it was. However, there was also a hint of old-fashioned sake in the depths of the bottle. Kirinzan, a brand I would not have chosen for myself, is not bad. It's not good not to drink it.

The second bottle for drinking at my parents' house. Nagurayama from Fukushima. I don't know this brand. Of course, it was my first time, but it was quite good. I guess there are still many unknown good sake brands out there.

The pinnacle of NATURE," it says on the back label. It came out big, didn't it? LOL! It is a kijoshu, but since it is a Senkyoku, I thought it would be light and refreshing, but it was sweeter than I expected. However, it also has a good acidity, so it could just barely be served during a meal. To put it roughly, it's a bit more like a sweeter version of Yonotori. Delicious 😃.

From last week's Sushi Matsuura, I had something I'd never had before: the second was Higashi Kaimori. The second one is Higashi Kaimori, a sake from Futtsu. Sake from Chiba is becoming more and more popular these days. Kangiku is also popular. This sake also has a classical name and character, but it looks modern. It seems to be popular.

From last week's Sushi Matsuura, I would like to introduce some sake that I have never had before. First, Yamashiroya. A brand I had never heard of. It is a sake from Nagaoka. As the concept of this sake is to accompany a meal, the sake itself is not so assertive and complements the meal. But it is also delicious on its own. It is my favorite type of sake these days. I am going to Niigata next month, so I have a lot to look forward to. I'm sure there will be a lot of unknown delicious sake!

Sake I bought in Toyama. My favorite, Hounami from Uozu Sake Brewery. It is a green one made with Miyamanishiki from Akita Prefecture. I think this series of HONAMI is the best food sake to complement any food without being too assertive. I am sure that is the concept of ❓️🤔 It may not be a national brand, but it is a very good sake.

I've never seen Houou Mida's label.FLY HIGH 2nd means there was also a 1st. I had no idea... ^^; It is quite effervescent and shwashy. I have an image that Hououmida is generally sweet, but this one is restrained. Very good as a food sake 🍶 I liked it 🎵.

Junmai Ginjo by Tobiroki. It has been a long time since I have tasted Tobiroki itself. It has a moderate sweetness that is well controlled, and the smooth drinking makes the 16% alcohol content seem almost imperceptible, making it easy to drink. It's a quintessential taste. It's a pity that it's almost impossible to find! I'll be back soon 😢.

Another version of Akitsuho, the flagship of Kaze no Mori. They changed the design and made it on a trial basis this time, but they are having a popularity contest with the original, so depending on the results, this one may replace it ❓️🤔. The back label says to compare them, but I only bought this one, so I am not qualified to vote: ‼️🤣. It has a banana-like aroma.

I had something to do in Ginza, so I went for lunch. My first visit to Sushi Kiyoshi and my third 🍶. Tenpyo Junmai Daiginjo. This luxurious sake is made from Tojo Yamadanishiki rice polished up to 35%. It's Tenpyo, so of course it's delicious! 😆 Gorgeous aroma and elegant sweetness. 😆 It has a gorgeous aroma and an elegant sweetness that everyone seems to agree is delicious.

I went to Ginza to do some business and had lunch ☀☀☀. The second 🍶 at Sushi Kiyoshi, which I visited for the first time. Kubota Yamahai and Hekiju. I miss it.... Kubota was very popular during the sake boom of long time ago. Midoriju and this Hekiju were especially hard to find. I've never been able to get my hands on a bottle of Kubota, though it's common to buy it now, but it's delicious 😆 I guess it's been updated to be more modern. Seems different from what I remember from the distant past 🤔. Tiger prawn in consomme. It is a specialty of this restaurant. The consomme has been poured and poured since the restaurant opened. It is like the sauce of an eel restaurant.

I went to Ginza to do some business and had lunch ☀☀☀. First one 🍶 at Sushi Kiyoshi which I visited for the first time. Gunma skunk cabbage. It has a nice aroma and flavor, but not too sweet, and the finish is clean and crisp. Superb food sake 🎵 Before the nigiri, we compared the rice. They use three different types of rice depending on the ingredients. It's very elaborate.

Just a few of the drinks from last week's trip to Toyama that I have not posted here.... Eden by Chiyotsuru, which may not be a major sake in Tokyo, but is very popular in Toyama and is fought over by many. It is made from 100% Tominokoso produced in Namekawa and limited to 1,400 bottles. It is limited to 1,400 bottles and has a high alcohol content of 18 degrees.

Just a few of the drinks from last week's trip to Toyama that I have not posted here.... Following the yellow one we had at Sushi Daimon, we had a green one at Raijin Kijin Hagiwara. This one is Miyamanishiki. It is a refreshing and easy-drinking sake that is ideal for a meal. It is a perfect food sake with a refreshing taste. The HONAMI series is really good.
