The last is a limited edition sake from my personal favorite, Chokaiyama!
Aromatic aroma and a mellow, sweet, austere, elegant taste of grape and prune type.
It was mild and mildly spreading, but also fine-grained and eyebrow-raisingly delicious ✨.
Since we were on a trip to Oga, we ended the meal with the famous "Shotsuru Yakisoba" (fried noodles with soy sauce)!
If I have the chance, I would like to go see "Namahage" again 😌.
Hi stst 😃
I hope you enjoyed your Namahage trip👹 in Akita 😁.
The doll👹 looks so realistic and scary 😅.
The local sake is very special when you go there and I think nothing can compare to the excitement of travel sake 😊.
Hello, Hiro-san!
Even now, you look like you're going to come and rip it off! and looks like he's about to come and rip it off 👹🔪.
You are right about the excitement of traveling sake! It's a once in a lifetime encounter with local sake that makes my heart dance ✨.
The aroma is somewhat subdued, but it has a gorgeous aroma typical of Chokaizan, with a freshness and a slight chilli. Generally, it is a sweet type of sake, but among Chokaizan wines, it is a well-balanced type. I'd like to drink a draft of this...

The aroma is not so strong, but it has a tropical fruit aroma, minus the slight alcohol and rubbery aroma. It has a carbonation on the palate, and the taste is robust and calm, with umami and bitterness. The mouthfeel is hiyaoroshi. Other than the aroma, there are no negative impressions in the taste or lingering aftertaste. It has a full-bodied mouthfeel, but also goes well with tsumami. When heated, it has a raisin-like aroma and a soft sweetness that spreads with a crisp finish.
