Gin Kasuwasa🌾 in the sky
There are several sake rice varieties in Aomori, such as Hanafuki🌾, but only this Gin Karasu🌾 is suitable for growing in the Nanbu region (Pacific side of Aomori) where the climate is cooler due to the Yamase🍃.
The top aroma is softly sweet with a hint of rice.
In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness of rice with a hint of acidity and umami.
It seems sweeter than most dry sake 🤔.
Among the Gin Karasu sake I've had so far, this sake is as good as Hato Masamune's White Dove 😊.
Limited edition sake for Hachishoku Sake Brewery.
The top clear alcohol alone is full of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity.
Yet, it has a lively and vibrant effervescence that makes it easy to drink.
When the ori is added, the robustness increases considerably, and the tanginess is muted, resulting in a more cohesive taste.
At first, I thought I might prefer only the supernatant, but once you get used to it, you can get used to it.
It goes really well with food.
I drank it all up in no time.

Hachinohe's summer nigori sake. Although it is nigori sake, the alcohol content is the same as regular sake at 15 degrees. It has a slightly peculiar aftertaste, which may or may not be to the liking of the drinker. I didn't like it.
（The aftertaste disappeared as I drank it, so my initial discomfort may have been my imagination. I felt a peculiar bitterness. It does not mean that it is not tasty.

I guess it's been 2 years.

Most of the seasonal sake with cute labels of Kisora are sweet and sour, but this year's is very sweet 🤔.
It was delicious 🐻❄️🧸
It is sweet from the moment you drink it.
The fruity sweetness and slight sourness is quite delicious.
It is almost a year old, but it was in good condition where I bought it.
Nyozora's Newspaper: 🗞️
Hachinohe Sake Brewery also has a Hakutsuru brand of newsprint sake, with Ryo Ku using Hana Soui🌾 and Hakutsuru using Hana Fuki🌾.
The top aroma is fruity and sweet.
In the mouth, it has a dark, mild acidity and a sweet umami flavor that is typical of low-temperature-aged nama sake.
This newspaper sake is honestly not very Aomori-like, but I personally think it's as good as Isoboast 😉.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
