It was really hot today. Ski slopes, it was a jabbering hot day. The last edition of the season's practice should lead to next season. I was thinking of craft beer on a day like this, and then I remembered that there was this cute pink fizzy stuff. It has 8 degrees alcohol by volume and is insanely easy to drink. I guzzled it down with a little yogurt taste. (I did drink a spud and a glass of water before that.) I have heard from a sake brewer that "Sake that doesn't look like sake is selling well as an introductory drink for young people. I am sure this is one of them. 100% "Gohyakumangoku" rice grown in Tsunan, Niigata Prefecture

The snow has already disappeared from the lower elevation ski areas, Echigo-Yuzawa. Today, we have a bottle of Echigo-Yuzawa Benibai with a cute label. It is made from 100% Gohyakumangoku rice produced in Kakizaki, Niigata Prefecture, 60% polished rice, 16% alcohol by volume, and requires refrigeration. It has a sourness and a little bit of a "splash" feeling. It has a high aroma and is very refreshing. Today's snack was silken tofu with salted black pepper and olive oil. It is an Italian dish, but it goes well with it. I wonder if my life of unlimited sake selection will soon come to an end!

We are pleased to announce the spring release of "Tsubamekitaru" by Kinmasu Sake Brewery, which is released in accordance with the 72 seasons of the year. As I posted the other day that it is time for wild vegetables, this sake was recommended to me as it goes well with the "bitterness" that is the taste of spring. (I tasted it and decided to go for it...). This sake itself has a bit of bitterness, and it certainly goes well with the bitterness of wild vegetables. It was like both melded together in the mouth without clashing. The brewer said, "We really brought the freshly pressed sake. It is a home-grown Koshitanrei. The alcohol content is 17 degrees. It is not so sweet that those who think sake is sweet might be surprised. It is refreshing, but has a bitter aftertaste. A new world of sake has opened up to me.

On the way back from the countryside, a stopover at Echigo-Yuzawa Station. In early November, Echigo Yuzawa is past its peak on the ropeway🚡 mountain, but the autumn leaves🍁 on the mountain surface, visible from the Joetsu Shinkansen and beside the Kanetsu Expressway, are beautiful. We stopped by Ponshu-kan for the first time in a while. Ponshu-kan was first opened at Echigo Yuzawa Station. I have probably visited there more than 10 times. As you probably know, it is a paradise for sake lovers, where you can pour sake from the tasting machines lined up on the wall and taste the sake. The price is 500 yen for five coins. First up was a cask of our local Chojamori sake. The familiar Choujamori has a crisp, understated barrel aroma.

Good evening, Ponchan 😊. It's been a while since I've been there, but it was paradise👍. It is located at Echigo Yuzawa station, Nagaoka station and Niigata station. I think you should enjoy Niigata Prefecture without worrying about sightseeing and concentrate on food and sake❗️.

Hiraccio-san, here it is again😊. Choshamori is also Hiraccio's flagship ❗️ I've only been to the one in Niigata and would love to visit the original Ponshu-kan! I also want to ride the longest dragondola in Japan❗️

Good morning, Haruei Chichi 😊. Choujamori is not to be missed by me 😌. Echigo-Yuzawa is nice and empty if you miss the ski season👍. I would like to ride the Dragondola too. It seems to be good.

Good evening Harry Sakeboy😊. I recommend Ponshukan. The ride from Omiya station to Echigo Yuzawa station is less than 55 minutes on the Shinkansen. I like that one in Saitama too👍.
