After Nigori, let's go with Jun Dai!
Here comes the sake with a bright red label!
It is a sake from Miyagi, but Hiryu is not so familiar to me.
It was a refreshing sake!
Ika no shiokara (salted squid) goes well with junodai sake like this!

Refreshingly sweet.
It tastes like rice, like junmai sake.
I'm not a fan of junmai sake, but I like the taste of this sake.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but it was a very good sake.
I should have saved it until New Year's.
Almost colorless and transparent. Fruity aroma reminiscent of apples. There is also a sweet aroma reminiscent of cotton candy. The intensity of the aroma is medium. The mouthfeel is smooth. The hint of aroma is also apple-like. Mild acidity and sweetness. Medium lingering aftertaste. Sake with a hint of incense.
Sake we drank at a Japanese restaurant (6)
The restaurant's choice of sake was gradually becoming more and more dessert-like 😋 I didn't ask for a pairing, but I felt it was as expected 🤔.
I haven't posted in a while because I've been slacking lately.
Celebrating the Year of the Dragon with a vermilion label
As usual, it doesn't interfere with meals.
The clear and light mouthfeel and pleasant ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples quickly spreads and disappears, and the refreshing acidity is said to produce a sharp taste!
It is still delicious!
I asked the owner for a sweet recommendation, and this was it!
He said that this expensive drink is popular because the system allows you to drink anything for 250 yen per coin.
Hiryu is a strong name, but it was fruity and easy to drink.
