Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (2)
This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake.
2) Fruitful Hokusho
Sake from Murakami City in Shimoetsu.
It is often seen at Yamaya with a special distributor label of Taiyozakari,
Hokusho is a junmai ginjo brewed entirely in Niigata with Niigata yeast, rice, water, and techniques, and aged at a low temperature for more than half a year.
It is served cold.
The color of the sake is a gentle yellow-green.
The top aroma is mild and smooth on the palate.
The flavor structure is similar to Tsukifumi no Ike, with a clean, refreshing sake with a blue banana aroma and moderate rice flavor. The moderate acidity is also effective and crisp.
It is a lighter ginjo-style sake than the junmai sake Tsukifumi no Ike, with a good amount of rice flavor, yet it is easy to drink and delicious. Expect it to warm up as well. ♨️🍶
Oops, neither of these are my favorite 💕.
A good start 🚩.
I'll be updating this autumn with more Niigata sake, interspersed with a little bit of another sake 😊.

Hi Hirupeko 😃.

Hi Hirupeco!
Hi, I'm Hihirupeko-san! ［I see you went to Kitahama Fermentation Plant 😁.
I had a "Hokusho" myself ✨.
I went to the store with a Yukio T-shirt and the waiter was so happy to see me with a Yukio maegake wrapped around his head 🤣.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. In the Kansai area, we don't have many opportunities to encounter Niigata sake, so it was a good opportunity for the Niigata Sake Festival to come to Osaka😊I wanted to have salted fish with kanzuri for my entrée, but I gave up because I don't like spicy food🥵.

Good evening, Mr. Gyve. I also stopped by Kitahama Hakkesho! It was delicious and surprisingly easy to drink 😋I told the Tsururei people at the Niigata Sake no Jin about the Yukio T-shirt and they were delighted 😊.

Autumn, the season of Niigata Sake
While visiting the Niigata Sake Festival at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas and having a few drinks, I decided to try to immerse myself in Niigata sake this fall,
I decided to drink Niigata sake this fall. We will start with Kitahama Hakkesho, which is also rumored to be a Niigata sake brewery.
By the way, Kitahama Hakkosho is also holding a Niigata Fair.
(1) Tsuki no Fumi no Ike hiyaoroshi (hiyaoroshi from Tsuki no Fumi no Ike)
This sake is from Itoigawa in Joetsu.
It is read as "Tsukimizu-no-ike.
It is served cold.
It is a light cream-colored sake.
The top aroma is of gentle banana.
It has a smooth, refreshing taste with a hint of blue banana, caramel, and rice flavor. The final taste is dry and tight.
It is a light and dry sake, but it is delicious with a strong rice flavor 😋 I would like to heat this up!
And one more glass.

［This is the third and final round of drinks at "prking Kitahama Hakkosho".
Ayu Masamune Honjozo.
The aroma is full of ayu, and the mouthfeel is full of umami and ayu sweetness, and the taste is crisp on the tongue, followed by a clean and pleasant aftertaste.
［I was surprised to find a sake with such a name after reading other people's reviews of it on Sake-no-wa.
We left the store with some souvenirs ✨.
The fourth picture shows a restaurant near Shin-Osaka station that serves Kochi's famous "Jang-men", which I had been interested in for a long time, so I stopped by for lunch before heading to "Kitahama Hakkosho" (Kitahama Fermentation Factory) 🍜.
Jang-men" ramen noodles with egg sauce, full of leek and hormone, delicious 😋.

［The second sake at "prking Kitahama Hakkosho" (prking Kitahama Fermentation Plant).
Hokusho Junmai Ginjo Hokusho in Fruits.
The aroma is a little difficult to smell due to the wind, but it gives a cool and refreshing feeling.
I've been curious about "Hokusho" ever since I saw a review of "Hokusho Mild Nigori Hon Nama Nama Sake" by the King of Menshu about a year ago, and I finally got to drink it 😁.
It has a delicious fresh flavor typical of Niigata sake 😋.

After a dramatic increase in workload since the beginning of the current fiscal year, and after successfully completing the torrent of field work from July to the end of September, I finally had a week's refreshment break ✨.
(Although I was called in to work on a holiday in the middle of my vacation.)
I'm going to take a day trip to Osaka and Kyoto to do some drinking 😁.
I'll try to post in real time ✨
First of all, I've always wanted to visit [prking Kitahama Fermentation Station] 🚃.
I saw ma-ki-san visited the other day and they have a great selection of drunken sake 😋.
Well, let's start with the KEG bottle we were looking for!
Harada Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
The aroma of rice is classic, the carbonation is so slight that you have to concentrate on the tip of your tongue to feel it, the taste is fresh and KEG-like, and the fruity sweetness on the back is refreshing and fruity, with a sweet aftertaste.
The gap between the classic aroma and the modern taste is pleasant and delicious 😋.
The store even kindly let me pour it myself from the KEG server into my own sake cup 😁.
I'm sitting on the shady terrace in the afternoon, feeling the autumn breeze while sipping my sake 🍁🍃🍶.

The 8th glass at my first PARKING Kitahama Fermentation was Higashitsuru Yamadanishiki by Higashitsuru Shuzo.
So, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, you can taste the sweetness, then the bitterness and complexity.
It goes well with meals and is delicious.
It was my first time to visit this restaurant, but the atmosphere was like a café, and it was blissful to enjoy a cup of sake while looking at the sake.
The staff was very kind and attentive, and we had a very comfortable time.
The shop also sold sake, so I bought two bottles and moved on to the next store.
Thank you very much, Mr. Gyves, for showing us this wonderful store.

The seventh sake at my first PARKING Kitahama Fermentation was Amami Junmai Ginjo by Choshu Shuzo.
Here is the sake in bottles from here on.
So, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, you will feel sweetness, and in the second half, you will feel spiciness and bitterness in the back of the throat.
The balance is also good.
After drinking a bottle of sake for the first time today, it is of course delicious, but I felt I realized once again how fresh KEG DRAFT is.
Japanese>English

The sixth glass of my first KEGDRAFT was Tsubozaka KEG DRAFT Sparkling13 from Tsubozaka Shuzo.
Let's start with the aroma.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel it is also very sweet and bitter.
It has more sweetness and bitterness than the nobility.
Overall, I felt it was a little sweet, but it is well balanced.
The second half of the aroma is also pleasant and tasty.
Japanese>English

The fifth drink of the first KEG DRAFT was KiKEG DRAFT OTOKOYAMA GORILLA by Nagayama Honke Brewery.
This is the start of the second 4-drink comparison.
Let's start with the first one.
First, the aroma. It has a slightly refreshing aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a very nice dry, chili-like texture.
I really like the feeling of the sweetness pushing in behind the dryness, and I found it to be well balanced and delicious.

The fourth cup of my first KEG DRAFT was Naruto sea bream KEGDRAFTLED by Honke Matsuura Sake Brewery.
So let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, you first feel the sweetness.
It is fresh and delicious.
There is no pungency, and the lingering bitterness in the second half is also delicious.
Although the taste goes down smoothly, the lingering sweetness is great until the end.
The first 4 bottles are now finished.

The third cup of my first KEG DRAFT was Matsuoka Brewery's Mikadomatsu KEGDRAFT Junmai Daiginjo.
I will have it immediately.
There are a few bubbles in the glass.
First, the aroma. There is not much aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it too is a smooth drink.
The sweetness is low, and there is a nice bitterness that goes up to the back of the throat.
The lingering aftertaste has a hint of citrus, which is very refreshing.
So far, this was the driest sake I have tasted so far, and I enjoyed it very much.
Japanese>English

The second glass of my first KEG DRAFT was a Mitsutake KEG DRAFT Junmai Daiginjo from Mitsutake Shuzojo.
So, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not very pleasant.
The mouthfeel is smooth and easy to drink.
The soft sweetness and bitterness go well with food.
The lingering slight spiciness and bitterness that accompanies the food is the best.

Today, I went to PARKING Kitahama Fermentation, which was told to me by Mr. Jaive, from the opening.
When it opened, it seemed to be a lunch-only restaurant, and I think I was a little out of place because I was alone in a sake drinking contest while everyone else was having lunch 🤣.
The first glass of KEG DRAFT was Garyubai KEG DRAFT Sparkling Clear by Sanwa Shuzo.
I will have it immediately.
First, the aroma. It has a fresh sweet aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a fresh taste.
The sweetness is also very nice.
The middle part of the sake has a traditional sake taste, but the aftertaste of sweetness is not too sweet.

We enjoyed it with a side dish of pickled firefly squid.

This is a record of past drinking.
A store with a server where you can experience the taste and flavor of "freshly pressed" sake, which can only be experienced at a sake shop by packing freshly pressed sake in a special container.
Raifuku was interested in trying it out because I had already had it at home.
Alcohol content: 16%.
The yeast was not listed, but I guess it was cherry blossom yeast.
The faintly fruity aroma reminded me of elegance.
When you put it in your mouth, a good acidity spreads and a fresh flavor spreads. It is a clean sake with good sharpness and good mouthfeel.
Chilled tomatoes with sakekasu. It was delicious and went well with it.
