Hanagaki's brewery's in-store limited edition sake.
A trophy from our trip to Fukui.
Although it is dry and refreshing like Fukui, it also has a sweetness.
They don't sell it online either.
It was delicious.
Hanagaki's Umeshu, a gift from Hanagaki. Harmony of water, rice, and plums!
It tastes more like plum sake or plum sake. It was a delicious and enjoyable sake to savor sipping.
The mouthfeel is clean and mellow.
There is a hint of acidity and an astringent taste like that of a white wine.
The umami of the rice is strong.
It is a taste that I like very much.

Fukui Reinetsu Trip in Summer (3)
A 3-day/2-night trip based on Echizen-kaigan.
On the last day, we went from Katsuyama to Echizen-Ono.
First, we went to the Dinosaur Museum, which we skipped in the spring.
I never cared much for dinosaurs, but after a tour of the dinosaur museum, they became more real to me and I think I shared my enthusiasm for dinosaurs 🦕.
It's just like your sake! I was told of course 😅.
Echizen Ono is a castle town and I wanted to climb the castle, but due to time constraints, I only went to the Ooshimizu spring. I would have liked to explore a bit more!
Then we went to Hanagaki for sake brewery. Among the many samples I tasted, I brought home a Junmai Daiginjo of Misato Nishiki.
I thought, "Isn't Misato Nishiki an Akita rice? I thought it was Akita rice, but when I tasted it, it grabbed my heart.
It is served at room temperature.
The top taste is ripe apple, banana, and green bamboo.
The first sip reveals a refreshing acidity and a thick, creamy banana flavor that is typical of Hanagaki. The lingering astringency that quietly lingers in the aftertaste is pleasant.
A little expensive, but delicious!
It was fun to take a sake tour while viewing the beautiful countryside of Fukui!
It was a wonderful summer vacation!
Peco, I enjoyed watching your summer trip to Fukui Reine Kita 😊🎶.
It was a great trip with sake breweries, specialties, and tourist attractions all in one place 👍✨.
I've only been to the dinosaur museum myself 💦 sounds like a fun place to visit! I was underestimating you 😅.
Hi Pon-chan. I sometimes go to Reinan, but I haven't been to the north side of Reinan, so I was able to take my time this time and enjoy it😊The Dinosaur Museum was moderately crowded during the summer holidays🦕.
