Houou version of "Kita no Katsu" which I bought as a souvenir from East Hokkaido.
The Akitobushi Ramen I bought at Cape Nosabu was about to expire, so I decided to enjoy it with the Nemuro set!
When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a sugar cane-like aroma of brewer's alcohol.
The palate is soft, but the well-balanced full-bodied flavor of sweet and spicy tannins spreads slowly like a ripple.
The salty taste comes from the minerality. It reminds me of the sea scenery I saw at Cape Nosappu.
It is perfect for a mid-meal snack and goes well with the light soy sauce ramen noodles made with Akitagashi-bushi!
It also has a pleasant sharpness in the aftertaste, so you can't help but drink more and more 👍.
It is a bottle that is sure to go well with warmed sake as well.
I hope to enjoy it again someday with local fish in the east of Hokkaido!
Good evening, stst-san 😀It seems much softer on the palate compared to oumi 😋It's a sake that goes well with hot sake again this coming season 🍶There's also a black labeled honjozo, so be sure to give it a try ✨.
Good evening, Takku!
I couldn't tell the difference when I bought it, but now that I've tried it, I'm really impressed with the level of differentiation in taste and the level of the brewery ✨.
I'll have to go mail order, but I'll try to buy the honjozo and ginjo as well 😋.
Purchased at the Hokkaido Umaimono Kan.
This one is named "Kita no Katsu" after the land of Hokkaido and the founder, Katsusaburo Usui🍶.
It has almost no aroma, but when you drink it, it is a classic flavorful, mellow, strong, delicious, and well-balanced sake with a crisp, mid-palate finish 😊.
It seems to go well with sashimi and other seafood!
I forgot to register.
I checked on the web, and it seems that it is a sake with a limited number of shipments released in January every year. The description said, "It has a rich ginjo aroma and a fruity taste." The explanation was that it has a fruity flavor with a rich ginjo aroma, and it was just as fruity and delicious.
I thought I couldn't buy it in Kansai, but I was able to buy it at the antenna store in KITTE.
It is dry but sweeter than expected and easy to drink. Goes well with tuna. 🐟️
It didn't go well with anything except tuna though 🤣.
It has a deep nostalgic flavor that makes it a local's favorite evening drink.
Seicomart seems to have small bottles and packaged sake, so I guess it really is a classic sake!
It tastes better a week or more after opening.
