ねむちNational Sake Fair 2025 in Osaka_76
Aomori Prefecture booth ⑤.
Sekinoi Sake Brewery in Mutsu City is the northernmost sake brewery in Honshu. Representative brands are Sekinoi, Kitayuu, and Kantatema.
Hokyuu Shijo
A junmai ginjo class sake. It has a deep, mature taste. The flavor has a moderate dullness to it. The richness is slightly chocolate-like, and when I thought it looked matured, the person who served me said it was matured.
It has an old sake feel, a little classical and flavorful.
It seems they don't sell it outside of the prefecture, but it is sold at Hallett's in the Kansai area as well.
We met up with Umaumauma again and headed to the next booth. We only have a little time left... しんじょうNational Sake Fair 2025(´)
They said sake from Shimokita Peninsula
I expected it in the land of Oma's Tuna
Cold standing horse
Horses keep robbing me of my money, so I was terrified when I saw the label, but I mustered up the courage.
Clear with a grain-like richness.
It seems to be heavy, and when I liked this one, I was asked if I was hooked on the heaviness. I was asked.
Junmai
Very light and just the right amount of umami.
Seems to be even better when heated. taiJun Beiyu

It is said to be the only sake brewery in Shimokita. You can tell that it was not a land that produced much rice. おに!5 years old, full-bodied. よっちAomori Nebuta World Shimbashi Store
Short-lasting and understated
Grilled squid and mushrooms with miso paste まつちよKitayuu This is another sake from Sekinoi Sake Brewery 🍶.
The initial aroma is a bit peculiar, similar to that of Kantatema.
In the mouth, it too is a robust sake with a strong umami flavor, just like Kantatema and Ura Sekinoi.
I tried heating it up to try it out, but the peculiar aroma was not to my liking.
Like the Kantatema, if you don't mind the off-flavor of aged sake, I don't think you'll have a problem with this one.
Thanks for the drink ✨ taiJun Kitayuu

With fried prawns at Goyo Sushi in Futago-Shinchi.
Aomori-style cleanness. It has a crisp feeling compared to Tasake. ぽもんたAt a local izakaya Matsu in Shimokita 🍶.
Since we are in Aomori, we of course had Tasake and Toyobai.
I was wondering what to drink, so I ordered Kita-Yamu.
You might not have seen it outside of your hometown...?
It is dry and goes well with seafood!
ふふふふPunch of rice that is truly junmai sake
It has a bitter taste, but I like it because it is very Aomori-esque. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
