At a standing bar in Gotanda.
This is my first brand.
Fresh and fruity ginjo aroma.
It is light and moderately sweet.
It has an alcoholic taste and is very drinkable.
It has a robust flavor for a summer sake.
Purchased at AEON Liquor Shop in Tonami.
Hokuriku Shinkansen 10th anniversary commemorative sake.
The color is pale yellow. Lees are visible, probably due to the unfiltered process.
It has acidity and sweetness, but the acidity is a little strong.
The acidity is a little strong, yet it has a dry taste.
After work, I went to a Hokuriku antenna store in Umeda to compare sake from the three Hokuriku prefectures.
The first one was a local sake from Uozu, called Hokuyo.
It is a light and crisp sake 🍶.
It was delicious. 🙆♂️
I attended a GW event at a department store and purchased this sake🍶.
They are very particular about keeping the alcohol level down to 15 degrees even when it is a draft sake.
The rice is "Yuyamanishiki," a newly produced variety in Toyama Prefecture.
The aroma is sweet like apple or pineapple with a slight sourness.
The mouthfeel is clean, with a gorgeous, tropical flavor spreading in the mouth, followed by a slight umami of rice, which lingers on the nose and disappears with the bitterness.
While it is gorgeous, the bitterness comes at the end, so it is easy to drink without feeling tired or sluggish.
