Settyubai’’Honjozo''

Settyubai''Honjozo''

 Niigata's Sake is very famous for sake tasting dry, but there is not only sake tasting dry but also sake tasting sweet. When you feel tired, do you want something tasting sweet, don't you? Settubai ''Honjozo'' has given people in Niigata an energy because it tastes sweet. I recommend this because this is the best sake in kind of tasting sweet and this is made by sake brewery which is good at making sake which are added brewing alcohol to add sweetness. 

Midorikawa

Midorikawa

 

 When you drink Midorikawa as cold, you feel a good body which 'Junmaisyu' has. When you drink this as warm, This become Sake without too distinctive a character, moderate flavor and taste match with light flavor food. Also taste of rice match with personality is strong cuisine as well. This don't only get tired of drinking like 'Houjozosyu' but also taste refined flavor like 'Junmaiginjo'. This will be an entrance for a beginner of Niigata's Sake. So I recommend this for the beginner.

Jousenmizunogotoshi''Junmaiginjo''

Jousenmizunogotoshi''Junmaiginjo''

Jousenmizunogotoshi is delisiciou Sake of Niigarta, not tasty Sake. Niigata's Sake is characterized as crispy and dry. Jousenmizunogotoshi is sumit as this meening. Junmaiginjo of this is just exactly like water. This Sake is cut sweetness and taste,  so this is extremely more smooth and drinkable than water, this is still feel flavor of Sake. This is exactly pure Niigata's Sake. It is not diffecult to get this Sake, so I recommend to try this.

Kosinokagetora''Ryu''

Kosinokagetora''Ryu''

 Kosinokagetora is made of nice Niigata rice and water of low hardnes. Obviously of course expensive Sake like 'Junmaidaiginjo' or 'Daiginjo' is good Sake, so I dare to recommend you 'Ryu',which is cheap Sake in Niigata. This is cheep sake, but you can taste mild, crispy ,dry and good going down. You should say 'Just as I expected Niigata is land of Sake' because this has characteristic  of dry but you can sill feel mild because this is brewed thoughtfullly. It is useless that if Sake is too expensive like you can buy a bottle per some years however that Sake is very good taste.  That's why I recommend Kosinokagetora''Ryu''

Kikusui''Funakuti Itibansibori''

Kikusui''Funakuti Itibansibori''

 This might be bad words, Kikusui is the best Sake in cheap Sake in Niigata. I want you to drink this not expecting good. You should taste thick flavor and characteristic sense of dry of Niigata's Sake when you drink as cold. You must be surprised in Niigata. You should say 'It is amazing I can get a such a good Sake in a supermarket and a convenience store. I recommend you Kikusui''Yondanshikomi'' if you want similar taste and milder than ''Funakuti Itibansibori''

Shimeharitsuru ''Jun''

Shimeharitsuru''Jun''

  Shimeharitsuru''Jun'' has mild flavor and this tastes dry and refreshing. This goes well with any food because this has modest flavor and taste in Niigata Sake. You should gulp this down with food when you drink this. Some people say 'Shimeharitsuru is the best Sake when we drink with some food'. I recommend you Shimeharitsuru''Yuki'', which is brewed by Tokubetsuhonjouzo, if you want more dryer than ''Jun'', but Shimeharitsuru''jun'', which is brewed by Junmaiginjo, is typical Niigata Sake so I recommend you ''Jun'' if you want to know about Niigata.

Hakkaisan

Hakkaisan

What is Niigata Sake ? A half of Japanese says ''Kubota'', the other half says ''Hakkaisan''. Hakkaisan is a pioneer showing all over the Japan that there is crispy and dry Sake in Niigata. This is tanrei,it means crispy, and dry. Junmai Ginjo of Hakkaisan is milder than Dai Ginjo. But some people say that Dai Ginjo is better than Junmai Ginjo. You should have a drinking contest if you could!
