After a day off from drinking on Thursday, we had Mutsu Hachisen on a Friday night.
At this time of the year, there is a parade of unpasteurized sake that comes out at a pace that my refrigerator and I cannot keep up with.
If I don't aim for some of it, I often find myself in the pattern of running out of sake, which often lowers the tension of the drink 😋😋.
Mutsu Hachisen's Natsu-Gin was delicious, so I'll have it with higher expectations 😋.
It's refreshing and gentle on the palate with a crisp finish 😊.
To put it simply, it's "delicious" 😅.
Mugen Hashin!
Spicy aftertaste though! First attack fruity!
I've been drinking it, it's spicy! It's still spicy!
It's not the kind of drink I like!
But it's good for a change of pace!

I brought another bottle of Mutsu Hachisen Orikarami🤍.
The taste of this less sweet and slightly silky drink is soothing 💕.
The slight acidity also adds a nice refreshing taste 👌👌.
It's light nigori, I still like it 🥰.
Thanks again, Jay & Nobby 😆.
All of Yasen's wines have a clear taste⁉🥰.
This one has a slight richness added with a hint of ogorigami ✨.
The balance was perfect.

Hachisen's first in a long time, but the sweetness keeps the volume down.
It might be the difference from the red label we drank several times before, but when we checked, all the previous bottlings were all 17 degrees.
Is it a difference of only one degree?
Or is it a change in taste?
It has no peculiarities or unnecessary aroma, and is mild to drink.
It is easy to drink with a meal.
I was told at the liquor store that it was drier and less aromatic than other Hachisen, but it didn't seem too spicy.
Tonight, at a popular counter kappo restaurant in Kyoto, we will be serving a series of 5 sake from the owner's hometown of Aomori‼️ We will start with a nouveau directly pumped special pure rice sake from Mutsu Hachisen💙.
Souzake. It has no aroma, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a faint sweet aroma of rice! The mouthfeel is umami-guchi with a strong flavor, but the rest of the mouthfeel is crisp and fresh. I got it as a travel souvenir from my father! Definitely goes well with sushi.
