Kirinzanやわらか（旧グリーンラベル）
じじ
Kirinzan, formerly known as Green Label, was on the menu.
It was a soft and comfortable sake to drink during dinner.

On a weekday off, I went to Ginza and Mitsukoshimae to buy sake.
On the way home, I stopped by "Yoshiike" in Okachimachi.
I had a set meal of fried raw oysters.
The oysters are from Senpohji in Kushiro, Hokkaido.
The sake was from Niigata Prefecture. Echino Kanmei.
Echigo's famous sake, light and dry on the royal road, not thin, but dignified.

Today we went to Hopeken in Sendagaya to watch the Rokugakusei baseball game and then to Ueno-Okachimachi for drinks.
One of my friends from school told me that he had never had Tochio's fried tofu, so I took him to Yoshike Shokudo and he liked it so much that he ordered another one with sakura shrimps.
Yukichuubai, with its sweet flavor and light outline, is still delicious 🙂.
It is still delicious 😋.

For Niigata Sake
First time to eat out this year. I had lunch while shopping at Yoshike in Okachimachi.
Sushi and Sake
If you want to drink Niigata's local sake, this is the place to be.
Check out the sake shop in the basement.
There are a lot of sake, but this sake was served in front of Yoshiike Shokudo.
I had it cold.
It was delicious.

The second drink at Yoshiike Shokudo was Manotsuru, also from Sado Island, following Kintsuru.
Last night, I watched Kazuhiko Ota's program, which I had recorded in the past, while having dinner.
Floating Trip: Good Sake, Good Snacks - Vol. 85 Sado Island
October 13, 2016
Manotsuru's brewery was also on the list.
＋It is a +15 dry sake, but it does not give the impression of being that hot, and has a good flavor.
Koshinosanbai = Koshinosanbai, Mine-no-shiraubai, Yukinuchubai
Koshino-Santsuru = Shimehari-zuru, Tsuru-no-Tomo, Koshinotsuru
Whether it is Kintsuru or Manotsuru, I was reminded of the depth of Niigata sake, which is dotted with delicious sake.

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio 🌆.
Is the saying ⬆️ something that Mr. Hiraccio started to say⁉️?
If it's a big deal, let's make it go viral 😁.

さしゅー
Hiraccio.
Good evening ✨All of Sado's sake is delicious, isn't it? I have loved it ever since I drank it at the Niigata Sake-no-jin. I would love to go there when Corona is over. I bought a bottle of Sado Gojozo from a crafan (^○^)

Good evening, Haruei Chichi 🌇.
I am in awe. Sanmei and Sanzuru have been called since the Showa era, not my origin 😅.
Echigo Sake New Gosanke was proposed by Haruei Chichi in the 2025 era👍.

Good evening, Mr. Sashu 🌆.
Sake from Sado, 5 different breweries, all delicious in their own way 👍and sharp too.
I looked up Sado Gojo, and this is an interesting attempt and sake.

Nope.
I'm embarrassed 😅.

Today is a weekday off.
I went to Yoshike in Ueno-okachimachi to buy ingredients and sake from Niigata.
Lunch at the Yoshike Restaurant on the top floor.
Sado's "Kanetsuru" Honjozo, which Sana D. posted just recently and I was curious about.
I had just had a one-cup of regular Kanetsuru and found it quite good as an evening drink, and Sana D highly praised the Honjozo, so now was the right time to drink it.
Pair it with yellowtail sashimi from Sado Island.
It comes in very lightly and quickly, and the mouthfeel is clear.
It is not thin, but has a nice combination of umami, spiciness, and sharp bitterness, making it a good evening sake👍.
Now I'm not drinking it for dinner, but for lunch 😅.
This is a very good sake.
I would like to try heated sake at home for dinner, and I would like to buy some from the sake department in the basement after lunch 😌.

Hi Hiiraccio, Hello ☀️
Following Sana D, Hiraccio, I see you also rate it highly👍️.
I'm going to make a reservation at a liquor store on Saturday where they have kintsuru, so if there is one, I'll try to capture it 😊.

Hiraccio-san, good evening 🌙
I also recommend Kanetsuru's Honjozo Nama. By all means, once!

Good evening, honda!
It's not flashy, but it's not overbearing, and I'd like to try it once as an evening drink.
I see you have a store that carries them!

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio😄.
I love yellowtail sashimi so much❣️That looks delicious 😋.
Japanese>English
ヒラッチョ
Jurian, good evening 🌆.
I'd love to try some of your draft sake!
I have seen some reviews that say it is quite different from this fire-aged honjozo, but I am rather curious.
Japanese>English
ヒラッチョ
Good evening, Director T.KISO 🌇.
It was delicious in the daytime with Sado's yellowtail 😊.
Sado Island is also famous for its cold yellowtail.
Both Kanetsuru and Manotsuru sake are typical of Sado, and went well with the full-bodied yellowtail.
Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio 🌇.
Oh ❗️you got drunk ‼️.
It must be a great match with the yellowtail from Sado Island.
I want to drink it again too!
Japanese>English
ヒラッチョ
Good evening, Sana D. 🌇.
Well balanced from entry to the finish.
The "moderate alcohol content" that Sana D. mentioned is also a key point.
It also went well with yellowtail❗️.

I bought a four-pack bottle, so I would like to enjoy it at home for dinner in the near future.
I have a feeling it will have good acidity when heated 😌.

Today is my Wednesday off.
Went to Ueno-okachimachi to buy meat and other things for our home barbecue.
When in doubt, go to Yoshiike Shokudo on the 9th floor of Okachimachi Yoshiike.
They have a variety of dishes from set menus to sushi, a certain quality, and a lot of local sake from Niigata.
The atmosphere is relaxed, and the seats are spacious and comfortable.
As I mentioned a few times, Okachimachi Yoshiike is a hidden Niigata Prefecture antenna store. I've written about it several times.
The liquor and food sections are also full of Niigata color.
A dry nigori sake from "Koshi no Shirotori".
This is the same brewery that brews Yamama.
The founder of Yoshiike was born in Matsunoyama, Niigata Prefecture. The brewer of Koshi no Shirotori is a relative of Ango Sakaguchi, whose sister married in Matsunoyama and some of his works are set in Matsunoyama.
The sake has a punchy taste with an alcohol content of 20 degrees and a dry, crisp taste.
It also has a thick, dark taste that reminds me of the mountains.
It's not a bad way to start a daytime drink, with more drinkability and impact than expected😅.
I'm sure this nigorizake would be great warmed up as well👍.

Hi, Oyajii-san😃.
Yes, it's quite a big-boned deliciousness.
I liked it so much that I bought the same 300ml bottle in the sake department on the second basement floor.
I'll try it at home next time ❗️.
