A refreshing hiyaoroshi with a lot of acidity. It doesn't have much sense of maturity, but the umami is strong.
Delicious sake that doesn't interfere with food.
It's hot every day - so I had a cup (^o^).
It tastes refreshing and goes down easy. It was the last sake I brought back from Yamagata. Beni no Hana and Basho, the rice was delicious. The side dishes are also delicious.
Onsen and sake. It was a perfect trip.
At Beni no Kura, a kind of Yamagata antenna store in Yamagata City.
I tried a sample of this sake, which is only available here.
It is a sake made by Otokoyama Sake Brewery.
It is a special pure rice sake, so it has a strong aroma of rice.
The taste is light and dry, with a nice refreshing acidity.
It is a good sake with a long aftertaste.
At a seafood tavern in Yamagata City.
This may be the first time for Nakakumi sake to be served in any way.
Very clean and nice aroma.
It is a junmai sake, but it is clean and refreshing.
The taste is smooth and has a sweetness like a ginjo-shu.
At a seafood tavern in Yamagata City.
The aroma is very beautiful and good. Refreshing alcoholic aroma.
It is said to be a "karai" sake, but the aftertaste is mildly sweet.
It is refreshing and has a great sharpness.
This is "Otoko" by Mitsuo Yamakawa. It was the only Mitsuo Yamakawa book I had not seen before, but I bought it because I could find a special distributor.
Sake Kohito in Osaka-Sayama City. This is a new store that opened in May this year. Luthertemi was the first to go there and posted about it 😊.
I heard that he went independent from a famous liquor store in Osaka.
The owner is a very nice young man who talks a lot.
Kabishin, Tenka, Gunma Izumi, Chiyomusubi, Zuikan, Sashi, Hanyo Otokoyama, Matsumidori, Senkosei, Sanzenmori, To Rikishi, Senrikyu. More brands are expected to be added in the future.
The Senrikyu brand is the only one that Mr. Shimada is responsible for brewing.
The rice is Dewa Sanzan. It has a robust, rich flavor. It has a complex flavor of nuts, caramel, and citrus fruits. It has a complex flavor of nuts, caramel, and citrus. It is full of rice flavor. It is said to have a sake degree of +5, but I don't think it is that hot.
It's a classic type of sake, and I think it could be served warmed.
Good evening, bouken😄.
I have never seen this sake before.
I'm looking forward to visiting this liquor store, which is full of brands I don't know. I wonder if the owner is still going to deliver in the afternoon?
Good evening Luteltemi 😃.
I'm looking forward to seeing more brands that you're going to be handling 😁.
I think they are closed on weekdays for deliveries except in the mornings and evenings 🚚 and on Saturdays they are at the store all day 😊.
Score ☆☆☆☆
Lastly, this is also my first sake 🍶.
Hanyo Otokoyama😁.
I heard that there are 20-30 Otokoyama breweries in Japan.
I wonder what Yamagata's "Hanyo Otokoyama" is like?
Yes, it is dry.
The aroma is faintly citrusy, but full of rice flavor.
Firm taste 😋.
The next day, after checking out, we went back to Akita from Yamagata City via Sendai City🚗 ³₃
In Yamagata City, we visited the Yamagata Folk Museum "Bunshokan", which was used in the filming of the movie Rurouni Kenshin. (2nd to 4th images)
It is full of exoticism💯.
I have visited the museum before, but it is always
Amazing (☆[]☆)‼️
Such a building in the middle of the city😳
It used to be a prefectural government office,
Even more surprising((((; ))))‼️
Free admission too‼️
As expected of Yamagata👏👏👏👏
All over town.
Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's awesome to see it standing there 😳.
Serve hot with a hot sake.
It has a clean, clean dry taste with little bitterness.
Easy to drink as the alcohol smell is not overpowering.
When the temperature drops, it has a soft rice flavor.
It has a nice nutty aroma.
The Himi cold yellowtail was sharp and exciting.
I wanted to order more, but the line and rush of orders scared me away.
I will come back again.
