Since we are in Sapporo, we came to a famous conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, Nemuro Hanamaru.
We are currently on our honeymoon, and after 4 days of sightseeing in Ishigaki Island, we are going to spend 4 days in Hokkaido from today.
I had my first glass of Nemuro's Kita no Katsu, a classic but gentle and easy-drinking drink that went well with the sushi. 🙆♂️
It is a regular sake, but Houou can be served at any temperature range, while many people say Oumi is recommended to be served cold, so I started at room temperature.
The aroma is a mixture of alcoholiness and saltiness. When you drink it, it has a light, watery aroma mixed with a slight alcohol aroma, and it seems to be well-prepared.
Even when served cold, it has a slightly salty flavor, but the alcohol content is greatly reduced and the sake can be drunk neatly. It is best served cold.
The vegetable stir-fry emphasizes the salty flavor, but the overall balance is good, and this is a rare sake that is well balanced, light, dry, and alky. It was exquisite with sasa-kamaboko and vegetable salad.
The last sake of the day was a rare sake that was released this month, and when the manager recommended it to us, we couldn't help but drink it!
Dry sake to finish off the meal!
It goes perfectly with the sweet and spicy Shiraoi beef!
There is a factory of a popular restaurant in Sunagawa, where we had lunch 👇.

It is sold in February, but I was curious about it after the change of the toji (master brewer) ❗I actually drank it a few times at izakaya (Japanese style pubs) 😅.
As Takku0103 mentioned, the sweetness was a little less this year, giving it a more old-fashioned feel!
This one is good too 😋I'm looking forward to see how it will be next year 😊.
Hello Mr. Noodle ☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I see that this year's was spicier than usual 😳
I'm not sure if the spicier one is a return to the original flavor though?
It would be fun to compare the different years 😆.
Hello, Mr. Noodle Sake King ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I was surprised by the taste of the "Northern Victory" you gave me 🥰.
I'm also interested in this one, which is a draft sake, but it's so rare that it's called [phantom sake] 😅.
Good evening, Mr. Menshuoh 😃I'd like to drink again when I see freshly squeezed sake at this time of the year 🤤I see that you have released a new super dry junmai pure rice sake called Kitanokatsu "Hou" 😲I must try this one.... I'll have to try it ✨
Good evening, bouken 😃.
The sweetness has been very pronounced recently, which was delicious in its own way, but just a little heavier ❗The base has not changed, but as you say, it is fun to have a different taste every year 😊.
Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
The Kitano-Katsu-Okai that I sent you is a good sake that we often drink here and can be heated up 😊We have many other sake that you can try 😊.
Good evening, Takku0103!
I received Hou from a friend ❗I am looking forward to opening the bottle 🤤It is a limited edition sake so I would love to get it ❗Let's drink it and exchange information!
It was given to me some time ago as a gift from my hometown.
It is a sake with a sharp taste, but with sweetness and umami coming through.
It seems to go well with all kinds of snacks.
It has been quite a long time since it was made, so even if it is not at its original potential, it tastes satisfying. ❗️
