Wadaya hanpukai original.
Rummy feeling. Gassy, sweet but clean and dry. Delicious with dashi broth, tuna au gratin, and bacon soup. Easy to drink with sweet gaseous sensation. Goes well with dashi. It is a good sake.
Polishing ratio: Koji rice 55%, Kake rice 60
Alcohol 16
Refreshing grape-like ginjo aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a fresh and tangy mouthfeel.
The taste is more refreshing than sweet, and is very impressive.
After a long day at work, this light sake is better than heavy sake 🤣.
Delicious!
Probably your first Mutsu Hachisen. This is a limited edition sake for the hanpukai.
The bottle was opened with the sound of gas escaping.
The first thing to do is to start with the top clear.
It has a mild apple-like aroma. Fresh and lush sweetness is followed by a clean rice flavor.
When the ori is added, the sweetness like calpis, the acidity like lactic acid, and the umami of the rice are increased.
This red label is new to me.
I drink this sake all the time, but for some reason I guess I never picked up the red draft sake (mystery).
This is the second day after opening the bottle.
Oops, not much of the usual green apple aroma.
However, the usual soft sweetness comes first, as usual. The spiciness comes in the middle and the bitterness in the end. The quality is as good as ever, but the second day after opening the bottle, it is already starting to have a twinge of bitterness. I kept it in a normal refrigerator, but I think it is too early.
Also, the aftertaste is longer than usual. This is my first time drinking it, so I can't say for sure, but I was a little disappointed because I had high expectations for it.
Still, it is an enjoyable sake for normal drinking.
fruity flavor
Sweet aroma, thick attack. Fruity and umami mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
Good with accompanying Negitoro Korean Nori rolls. ✌️
It is stylishly delicious 🤣.
The bonus is the Bon Serve I'm drinking right now.
It is an adult yogurt drink.
Also Hachinohe Sake Brewery Presents.
Got it at Wadaya @ Oimachi.
Looks like milk, tastes like thick yogurt drink. Faint alcohol taste. (ABV 5°)
You can gobble it up 🤣.
Personal preference.

It is a liquor store's hanpukai original. Maybe because it is Mutsu Hachisen from Aomori, I felt the flavor of apple. Is it my imagination? It is fruity and tasty, but also has a strong umami flavor.
