At a restaurant in Sapporo. Junmai Daiginjyo, Nama-shu, so it was easy to drink as expected 😊.
The restaurant was very nice because you can drink as much sake as you want. The food is made from Hokkaido ingredients. I had a great conversation with the manager and would love to go back 💕.
Tasted at Yamagata antenna store in Ginza.
It seems to be a gold medal winning sake.
It is somewhat expensive, so the tasting is very helpful.
It has a fruity aroma with a crisp rice aroma.
It is light and dry with a touch of sweetness.
It has a strong alcoholic taste and is full-bodied.

I was in a sake store near the train station in Yonezawa when I was traveling and asked the owner what was the best sake in the area 😅🍶🍶. The owner of the store recommended this "Koubai" 😅🍶.
My daughter-in-law gave it to me as a Father's Day present, but I don't remember exactly what it tasted like back then 🙇🤣🤣I don't know if it was a coincidence or if he remembered what I said at some point, but I tasted it for the first time in 40+ years (I'm getting old lol😅😅) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍶.
The color was clear and colorless, and although it was described as having a "gorgeous aroma", it was quite subdued and had a mild mouthfeel. It was a bit of a sharp taste and did not linger on the palate, perhaps due to the alkaloids.
But it is a kind of deep emotion to be able to drink the famous sake I drank when I was young after a long time 🙏🙏.
Thanks to my son-in-law🙏🙏🙏🍶
