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.
