Japanese Noted Foods  Sake of Niigata  
 Report

Speaking of the alcohol of Niigata, The "Koshino-Kanbai" is famous whatever it may call it. However, even if I want to drink, it does not obtain easily. When there was no "Koshino-Kanbai", the friend of Niigata had said "Buy Hakkai-san". However, it has not yet drunk. The "Hakkai-san" is not obtained easily, either.

There are three famous mountains in Echigo. They are "Hakkai-san", "Nakano-Dake", and "Echigo-Komagatake". This is the Japanese sake named from the "Hakkai-san" of them. Although "Hakkai-san" which the man of Niigata Prefecture says is a mountain, The "Hakkai-san" which the man of an another prefecture says is sake. (They are only favorite people about sake)



This time, The "Hakkai-san" was able to be got by chance. If a lid is taken and a smell is smelled, there will be the scent which seems to be nice very. When it drinks, it is as hot. But the flavor sweet on the contrary also exists. If a fruit is said, I will think that it is nice, although sake is not the favorite one. There is [ whether was so and ] a difference also in sake like this. There is neither a strange scent nor a peculiarity and this is truly nice. Gradually, it is likely to become sake Hwang.
