It's been a while since I've had a local sake from Noto.
This is my first time to drink Okunoto's Shirakiku, but it was gentle and kind, a good bottle for a mealtime drink. It was delicious 🍶.
I would love to travel to Noto someday 😌.
Sales are finally underway.
Shirafuji Sake Brewery has made a comeback in the disaster-stricken area of Wajima. Here comes "Noto no Natsuyasumi".
The label is a beautiful blue label reminiscent of the "sea of Wajima.
When poured into a glass, the sake is beautifully clear. The sweetness and umami of the rice comes through in the mouth.
The other day, I had a chance to drive around Okunoto. The reconstruction of Okunoto is still in the middle of the road. We will continue to support them without forgetting.
The sake was finally made at the brewery after the earthquake.
While I think that some areas of Noto must still be in trouble, I can't help but cheer when I see scenery like this that is returning to normal. I hope I am supporting them even a little by drinking this sake.
It is a junmai ginjo, so it has a gentle sweetness. It tastes like melon. It was delicious.

Today, I came back to my hometown and had a bottle of Okunoto Shirakiku that I bought at a local liquor store.
The aroma is mild 😀The taste on the palate is refreshing and light 😚👍It seems to be a refreshing and crisp sake that goes well with this season ✨🥳✨.
The fourth picture is a tenmusu inari (station bento) I bought at Toyohashi station on my way home on the train 🚄🍙The flavorful inari sushi was delicious 😋👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌃😀
It's a summery ☀️🍉🌻 sake with a name and label 😚👍It's a Hakugiku that was totally destroyed, but this time it was brewed independently 😊I have plans after I get home 😵I wanted to have a drink 😭

The same fruity aroma as on the top, the full rice flavor and sweetness spreads with beautiful acidity, and it finishes quickly with a little bitterness and lingering sweetness of rice.
It is fresh and has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity, and is delicious with a meal or on its own.
It went well with Thai carpaccio and homemade meat sauce.
This double-named bottle was brewed under the supervision of the brewer at Yukawa Sake Brewery using rice saved from the Shirafuji Sake Brewery.
The aroma is quite strong. It had a slightly yellowish color, a refreshing acidity, a moderate sweetness, and a slight bitterness, and was a delicious sake with a slightly thick mouthfeel.
The collaboration sake with Kaze no Mori's Aburanaga Shuzo was a draft, so I enjoyed it without much time to drink, but the one I received from a local liquor store in Wajima earlier was a fire-aged sake, so I let it sit for a long time. We could not let it stay for two summers even though it was indoors, so we have now opened the bottle.
Some of the breweries that were affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake have reopened on their own, others are brewing with the cooperation of breweries in the prefecture, but we have not seen any sake from the Shirafuji Brewery, so it appears that they are still in the process of reopening. We hope to see them again.
