I got this bottle at a tavern when I went on a business trip to Hamamatsu before I collapsed.
Hamamatsu has been booming with "What's up, Ieyasu?", but it has a strong relationship with Utsunomiya in terms of gyoza (dumplings) 🥟.
Although Utsunomiya ranked third this time, I ordered Hamamatsu Gyoza and had it with Hamamatsu sake. I don't have a picture of it, but is it characterized by the bean sprouts on the side? It is as good as Utsunomiya Gyoza.
As for the sake, it was just a normal sake. It was dry but had a hint of sweetness from the rice. It was delicious with the gyoza.
Afterwards, I went to the bar and got hooked on a bottle of whiskey 🍸 Islay-style smoked sake, which I had never tried before.
Hi YasuSake 😃
I'd like to try Hamamatsu gyoza🥟😋 with beer🍺😆.
Utsunomiya is not interested in fighting, just as long as the gyoza🥟 are tasty 🤗I think it's something like the temperament of the prefectural association🥹.
sharp and tasty
Slight aroma, sharp attack. The taste is light and umami. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
Izu Onsen (hot spring): I got this sake on my way home from Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is said to be named after Ieyasu's success in life, but the taste is light. I wonder if this is how it tastes when you look back on the time after his long rise to power 🤔.
Hamamatsu for the first time in four years.
Shizuoka is known by those in the know for its sake, such as Hana-no-Mai and Nihonto.
When we talked to him, he told us that the brewer of Hana-no-Mai has made Shizuoka's sake more popular.
This time, it was Izakaya Izakaya de Shijo.
Fresh shirasu (baby sardines) with no smell, and gyoza (dumplings) with sweet vegetables.
The sake is a perfect complement.
As the sake brewery is located near the sea, the sake is junmai (pure rice) but refreshing.
Even without any side dishes, it is easy to gobble down.
When paired with each meal, only the flavor of the sake is left in the mouth, and the taste of sake disappears quickly and easily.
It is a delicious sake.
[*3.0
The last time I drank it, it was given to me by a colleague at work, and this time it was given to me by a junior colleague at work.
I usually show off my love of sake, so I get sake from people who like to receive it but don't drink it lol.
I have the impression that it is somewhat difficult to drink, but I was grateful for the sake ^_^.

It was very easy to drink, so in a way it was a bit of a kike (laugh).
