I think it's a fire pit, but it's pretty schwaggy.
Sweet and dry flavors coexist. Not too sweet but not too dry. I can also taste a little rice flavor.
It has a rummy aroma.

Cloudy white color. Fruity aroma reminiscent of lychee. The aroma is strong. The mouthfeel is sweet, mild, and powdery. The nose has a hint of banana. The strong astringency and rich umami flavor linger on the palate with a medium aftertaste. It is a fragrant and mellow sake.

When I heated it up, the full aroma increased, but the astringency became more pronounced, and a slight bitterness also appeared.
It may be a matter of taste, but I think it is better to drink it cold.

I had always been curious about Sotenbo, but this was my first time.
There were several types of new sake lined up, with Niigata as the main sake, so I bought this one.
The rice is Takamine-Nishiki.
Fresh and mellow flavor. A little citrusy acidity and a spicy finish.
I thought it was dry and avoided it because of the image of Jange, but it was delicious.

Autumn Dyed with Niigata Sake (7)
This autumn, we are holding a campaign on our own initiative to dye ourselves in Niigata sake.
This is the final installment.
(7) Tsuru no Tomo Bessen
This is the last one!
This is the sake we got in Niigata.
Actually, I promised to have a drink with Aladdin on the day I got it, and Aladdin gave me a present of Tsuru no Tomo as well.
And it was the same one I bought at Niigata Kokome! We started our drinking session with two bottles of Tsuru no Tomo and a big smile on our faces. (For more details, please see Aladdin-san)
I'm amazed at your insight, Aladdin-san 🙇.
I think I'll bring one of them to the next offline meeting. 🤣
First at room temperature.
Almost transparent color.
Sweet banana, melon, and rice cake aroma with a green bamboo feel.
The taste is light sweetness to creamy rich rice flavor that rides well on the tongue. It has a moderate bitterness and spiciness, and finishes with a lingering creamy umami.
We prefer to warm it up to lukewarm. I like the fluffiness of the rice.
Of course, it is also good at room temperature,
It's a regular sake that can be drunk endlessly.
And during the fair, I thought of all the things to go with Niigata sake, but I had to go with kaki-no-tane.
It's a Niigata specialty that can be found anywhere in the country 😊.

Hirupeko,
I see that you drank Tsuru no Tomo👍.
This sake may be the real life of Niigata Prefecture's sake, where the level of honjozo class sake is generally high.
The fact that you have a crush on Tsuru-no Tomo is a good point 👍.
Kaki no tane was also originally made by Naniwaya.

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio. It's not every day you get to wear the Tsuru no Tomo cover, is it, Aladdin-san? I'm sure you're right about the sake wanara 😆 The original kaki no tane is also delicious 😋 I enjoyed tasting the true essence of high level Niigata sake 💕.

Purchased when Nemuchi and I stopped by Niigata after the Tenma Taisakekai.
It is rare to find Omachi in Niigata.
According to the store's pop-up, it has a Sake Degree of -11.
The top aroma is a little pineapple. The sweet acidity and gassiness are impressive. Unique fruity flavor like plum. As it says on the back, there is a bit of astringency at the end. It made me want to drink more Chiyonomitsu.
I think it is a unique Omachi sake and Niigata sake 🤔.
On the third day, the freshly opened peculiarity is lessened, but the acidity seems to be more assertive.
The more time goes by, the more Omachi it becomes.

The third glass was a brand I had never heard of before, Echigo Yukikoumbai.
This was the first shibori-shibori of the same brand.
It tasted like the light and dry Niigata sake that I imagined most, but with a strong sense of originality in the rice flavor. 🙆♂️
I have never been to Niigata, but I would love to go sightseeing in the city full of beautiful sake and food someday 😌.

The second glass was a nigori sake from Imadaiji.
The sake is said to be inspired by the cloudy weather of Niigata in winter.
It has a cool, refreshing feeling like ramune.
It has a crisp aftertaste and is very easy to drink.
If I had to choose my personal favorite among the three types of sake I drank today, I would choose this one or Echigo Dekyo!

The 2nd drink at the after-party was Takarazan!
I've been wanting to try this for a long time.
It was a year old, but it was not old, but it was very dry and tasty with a strong umami flavor.
At this point, Pon-chan suddenly ordered onigiri (rice balls).
They were freshly made and looked so delicious 😋.
They also have a set of miso soup and pickles. I thought to myself, "I can have breakfast now! I thought I could have breakfast already 😅 but the restaurant opens at 11:00.
Time was running out, so we went to the first meeting place after this💨.

It was more crowded than usual, but we could get in just in time 😅.
I was worried because I was bound to drink Niigata sake, but I found Nechiozan which I hadn't tasted yet!
I've never seen this before except at Bic Camera in Namba 🤣.
There's a commercial sake store in Amagasaki that carries it, so there's a place near me where I can drink it, but... 🤔.
Nemuchi told me where to find it 😊I'd love to try some raw sake!
It's not spicy, but it's well balanced and has an honorable taste? I think it's a food sake type.
Sorry for the rough impression 😅
The entrées are all Niigata specialties such as Tochio deep-fried tofu and kanzuri, which is very interesting!

The rice is Takananishiki.
The taste is fresh and slightly effervescent, as if the sake has been carefully fired.
It has sweetness, but the second half is astringent and spicy. It is like adding bitterness to melon or muscat.
It seems to be released on Cat's Day every year, so I hope to get a bottle next year 😽.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal rescue 🐱.

It's Niigata sake again😅.
It's been a long time since I've seen Imadaiji. I used to visit Asano Sake Shop, but I haven't seen them recently.
It seems to be a brewery near Niigata station.
It has a smooth mouthfeel and a gentle sweetness. Less fruity than expected. Good balance of sweet and spicy. It seems to go well with meals.
Nutty and graininess.
When drinking it again, there is a strong gap between the sweetness and the spiciness. The sweetness is firmly sweet, but the spiciness is also gutsy and pungent.
Raising the temperature increases the sweetness.
I went to buy Tsushimaya at a liquor store far away from my house at the end of the year, but I forgot there was a special distributor in Kawanishi 😅this one was closer to my house...

Niigata at Kome. I saw it for the first time.
It has a nice aroma. The aroma is mellow, with a hint of sweetness and a spiciness at the end.

There used to be a local commercial for it in Niigata.
