Winter Moon
One of my favorite brands
Memories of being imprisoned in Hokkaido in winter
I met this sake at that time.
First encounter at the restaurant "Ninoie" this time!
I opened the bottle!
Surprise, the cork flew out😅.
I didn't realize it was the second fermentation in the bottle.
I was so careless!
I'm so happy to see that it's as good as I expected!
Let's wrap it up this time...
Mr. K, a friendly waiter, told me that he likes dry sake!
I recommended him to try this Winter Moon and left the store.

Kirei, dry taste. It has a delicious flavor when served with grilled pork with koji. The aroma of koji is very strong. It is also a good match with a Hirosaki souvenir, squid in black. The spiciness is good. The higher the temperature, the more umami comes out 😆.

Okayama Kuramoto was the second brewery besides Gozenshu!
The taste is mellow and very deep.
The taste is mellow and very deep, with not so much ginjo aroma and a modest floral note.
I have an image of Omachi when I think of Okayama,
I heard that Akihikari is a type of sake rice.
It was also the first time for me to drink Hakuto yeast.
The more I drink, the more I realize that the world of sake is very deep.
The degree of alcohol is 16.5 degrees Celsius.

Dark is squeaky clean.
I like the lack of bitterness
I don't dislike the unique aroma.
I'm the type of person who can gulp it down, but if I let my instincts get the better of me and do that, it will be gone soon.
