At the hometown tax payment of Hakui, Ishikawa Prefecture
It is interesting to note that the sake is made by a master brewer who can play the piano, and there is also a Tchaikovsky sake.
Hakui is located at the western base of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Hakui is a city where there is a legend that UFOs appear.
It is also famous for the Chiharima Nagisa Driveway, the only place in Japan where you can drive on a sandy beach.
Hakui's local sake makes meals more delicious and enjoyable.
When I was told again what is yamahoroshi, I googled what it is.
It is said to be the manual process of grinding steamed rice and koji in a vat, which is necessary to produce lactic acid from naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria in the air or on the ceiling of the brewery and to propagate yeast to make sake mother. It is said to be extremely hard labor. In other words, I understood that the term "yamahoroshi" is a paraphrase of the term "nama-hashiwazukuri.
I like Yuho very much because of its characteristic flavor. If I met it at an izakaya, I would drink the first one with a refreshing taste and order the second one with this. It is a drink that gets you in the right gear for drinking.
This sake is made from Notohikari and Gohyakumangoku sake produced in Ishikawa Prefecture at a brewery in Hakui, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

Yuho Reconstruction Assistance Sake "Yuho no Hate?"
July 1, 2024
Kagataya Sake Shop Hanpukai
3410 yen
Aged junmai and honjozo sake blended by special order that endured the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
It has a brownish color like soba-tsuyu (buckwheat paste), but it has a sweet caramel-like aroma without the unpleasant aged aroma. When heated, the aroma becomes more pronounced, but the mouthfeel is soft. The sweetness and acidity spread quickly, and it finishes crisp and clean.
The manager says the sake from the reconstruction of Ishikawa in Yuho is now available.
Last year it was Junmai, and this year it is Jungin.
I had a chance to try it last year!
This year's sake was very calm and quiet, typical of Ishikawa and Noto sake!
Pair it with zangi and sashimi!

#Drinking at home
I bought hiyaoroshi last fall and have been saving it until now.
The first mouthful of this wine seems to be quite mild, but it is soon followed by a strong and delicious acidity, which is quickly replaced by astringency and spiciness, and finally finishes with a slightly astringent and spicy taste.
It has a mildness that is typical of hiyaoroshi, but it is also enjoyable just as a stand-alone sake.
Of course, it is easy to match with food.
It goes well with sashimi, but it would also go well with grilled dishes or oden.
I really like hiyaoroshi the best!
