Aomori Sake
Mutsu Hachisen Junmai Daiginjo Gin Karasu
This sake is usually too expensive to buy. It was included in a set sale. It is a Junmai Daiginjo from Mutsu Hachisen, which has won many awards overseas. Gin Karasuji is the name of Aomori's sake rice.
The aroma is of rich fruit. My wife, who is not a drinker, said, "The aroma has no alcohol and it tastes sweet and sour and tangy! She said. It is popular even among people who do not usually drink sake, so I can see why it is so popular overseas. It has a fizzy, bubbly taste when opened, but after a few days, it tastes mellower and fuller. It is not easy to buy, but it is very good.

This is my first time to try the green label. It is dry, but because it is hiyaoroshi, it has a mild sweetness and is suitable for a mid-meal drink. It went very well with fall flavors🥹.
