On the day of the festival, I took the train to the "Miyagi Marugoto Hotarai Festival" which was held at the same time as the Matsushima Oyster Festival.
I was surprised at my quickness and energy to seek out delicious sake that I had not yet discovered.
I was not feeling well and ended up drinking only 5 kinds of sake, but I enjoyed them with freshly picked seasonal oysters, scallops, and freshly baked rice crackers (*big!) 🙂. I enjoyed it with oysters, scallops, and freshly baked rice crackers (*big!) 😋.
I'm glad I went ✨.

This is the raw sake that was already finished.
It is light rather than dry.
Easy to drink, but the flavor is light compared to the aroma.
I tried heating it up, but it didn't change much.
Next time I would like to try the Junmai Nama-nihanzake.
The 16th bottle 🍶 of home drinking in 2025
Tenjo Yumegen from Miyagi Prefecture, received in the hanpukai 👍.
It was an easy to drink bottle with a dry and refreshing taste and a straight, non-habitual feel! Thanks for the treat 🙏😋.

MEDAGLIA DI PLATINO2024
Platinum award-winning nigori sake.
You would think it would be quite sweet, but it is quite mellow and a hint of sweetness comes after.
A wonderful sake that will go well with any meal.
At a standing bar in Shinbashi.
Modest ginjo aroma.
It is crisp and quite dry.
It has a crispness typical of new sake and a light, refreshing taste.
The aftertaste is short and leaves a moderate spiciness.
