I bought this sake from Gero at a liquor store in the old town of Takayama. I found out later that it was 10% more expensive than the others. I guess it's a tourist attraction, so it can't be helped. Another liquor store? Souvenir shop? There was also another liquor store or souvenir shop that sold sake from all over Japan, and they had Iichiko sake, which was featured in Dan Chu. I was a bit confused for a moment, but I held back because I have too much in stock at home😅.
Well, the sake is modern and fruity! It is a delicious sake.
Perfect with Hida Furukawa cheese in tamari soy sauce👌.
The fourth one is Chitose's Chinese noodles in front of Takayama station 🍜.

I bought it because it said it was delicious in a wine glass.
It has a subtle nice aroma and sweetness, but it's refreshing.
I like that it's inexpensive.
Yeah, it's delicious in a wine glass: ⭐️4
It has a fruity taste with a sweetness that is only possible with nama sake. The label description is true to its "refreshing ginjo aroma like pear, and the rice, umami, and rich flavor unique to nama-shu".

I was born in Yamagata, Japan and read "first green" as "first grandchild" 😅because it looks like it in my handwriting 😂I got this guess from someone in Gifu 🍶.
It is made from Gifu Hidahomare whole sake and is served cold (room temperature). It is said to go well with fried shrimp, ginger yaki, and other strong-flavored dishes, but this sake is just as rich and full-bodied, so you don't need an entrée to enjoy it. The ginjo aroma is impressive, with a moist, cocky, pear-like flavor.
Speaking of pears, the Tama Nashi Yokan from Kawasaki City, which is only available this time of year, is as delicious and impressive as the pear itself ✨✨.
It makes a yellow curtain on the glass wall, looks delicious even when aged 😋.
Postscript.
I drank it cold, the pear flavor faded and you got the graininess. I like this one better cold.
