Highly recommended for New Year's!

Christmas is over, and there are only a few days left in the year.

The year-end parties continue, and I'm enjoying some delicious drinks.

I imagine many of you enjoyed a lot of it.

This year's end of the year is said to have little snow,

We need to prepare our New Year's drinking supplies in these last few days!

 

I'd love to drink some high-quality alcohol with everyone around New Year's Day.

That relative of mine is coming over, so I should prepare some nice liquor.

Many people are probably pondering this question.

Here are three alcoholic beverages that we recommend for the New Year!

 

First up is "Daiginjo Yoshinogawa".

This is a highly recommended drink – if not during the New Year's holiday, when else would you drink it?!

This is a completely handcrafted Daiginjo sake brewed using sake rice varieties "Koshi Tanrei" and "Gohyakumangoku" from Niigata Prefecture.

Furthermore, it has been aged for three years in a warehouse at -5 degrees Celsius, resulting in a smooth and mellow taste.

Its elegant ginjo aroma is one of its distinguishing features. This is a superb sake that we highly recommend enjoying in a wine glass.

And the second is the honjozo sake "Toji no Banshaku" (The Toji's Evening Drink).

This is the perfect sake for everyday enjoyment, crafted by the master brewer, the person in charge of sake production.

This is a honjozo sake made with Gohyakumangoku rice from Niigata Prefecture, and it tastes great both chilled and warmed. It pairs well with any dish!

Enjoy a higher-quality evening drink with everyone, along with your New Year's dishes.

And finally, we have the much-talked-about new type of sake, "Yoshinogawa, brewed with wine yeast."

By using wine yeast in the brewing process, we have brought out a refreshing acidity and a subtle sweetness.

This is a new kind of sake with a light, refreshing taste.

The vibrant and charming design, inspired by the ivy leaves that entwine around the Yoshinogawa storehouse, is sure to catch the eye.

This is the perfect drink for those who don't like sake, or for those who want to impress women.

Now that I've introduced some alcoholic beverages, let me introduce one essential item for the New Year celebrations.

Ichimasa Kamaboko, located in Niigata, will be releasing a limited-time set of kamaboko (fish cake) and datemaki (sweet rolled omelet) made with Yoshinogawa sake, available only at the end of the year!

Amazingly, Ichimasa Kamaboko's "Tenko" uses 100% croaker fish.

This authentic product achieves a supple and sticky texture without the addition of starch.

To bring out the umami of the fish and add richness, we used Yoshinogawa sake.

This is a perfect dish for the celebratory New Year's feast.

Of course, Yoshinogawa is also used in Datemaki (rolled omelet)!

We've heard that there are only a few left in stock! Get yours soon!

Personally, I'd love to enjoy some sliced fish cake with a glass of chilled sake.

 

If you wish to have your order delivered before the end of the year from Yoshinogawa's Rakuten shop "Hyotei," please place your order by December 27th.

So, everyone, please start your New Year's preparations early!
