Hashimoto Sake Brewery in Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture
It's good that I got a new sake...
Hmmm...
If you read the label alone...
I could hardly understand the details....
It has brewing alcohol as an ingredient.
From the taste, I'd say it's a Honjozo.
It doesn't have the same ginjo aroma as Ginjo or Daiginjo.
...And it's unpasteurized, so it's "Genshu".
If the information on some websites is correct, it's "Fukurozuri".
It is literally hung in a sake bag.
It has a pure taste without pressure.
It is made using the same luxurious method used to make sake for the sake awards.

Hashimoto Sake Brewery's impression is
I had an image of matured sake.
I thought it would be
While it is refreshing
But it still has a roughness to it.
It will be delicious when it is laid down from here.
Because I imagined it to be rich.
"simmered squid and radish" (///ω///)
While feeling a hint of richness.
It's good because it has a dry and crisp taste.
The color is clear yellow. The smell is not that strong.
A strange taste spreads in the mouth. It's sweet, but I've never tasted it before. When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and its aroma spread out in a flash. It has an indescribable taste and aroma, like a combination of a flowery aroma and something like a woody aroma. The bitterness is also quite good. It's also very crisp.
It's like a bitter sweetness. It's hard to describe in words.
After a couple of days, it seems to have lost its horns and has become easier to drink. It has a pleasant floral nectar-like aroma and taste in my mouth.
After another week or so, the cemedyne-like aroma and bitterness was noticeable. It was an unfamiliar drink in the end, depending on my condition. Like it was good or not so good---.
