At a family-style izakaya in front of Toyama Station
While enjoying home-style food and drinks
I drank it while enjoying a home-style meal.
It was an easy to drink sake with a refreshing aroma.
Fried lotus root with crab, squid with yuzu, sashimi of white shrimp, sushi, excellent.
The only drawback is that there are no partitions, so if there is a noisy group, you can't even drink your sake in peace.
Purchased at Toyama Station Liquor Pocket Mizuhata.
The wine is quite sweet and fruity when opened, but after a few days, the sweetness on the palate quickly fades and the flavor is gone. The sweetness on the palate itself is also subdued, and I personally prefer it a little later in the day.
Nihonbashi Toyama-kan Toyama Bar 🍶Cheers with Kurobe Dam Sake! Talk event "Kurobe Gorge Railway 🛤️ talks about nature, history of power development, and dam stored sake" 🍶 Cast: Mr. Yasto Inagaki, Mr. Hiroshi Suya, General Manager of Hokuriku Branch of Kansai Electric Power Company, Mr. Makoto Hara, Secretary General of Toyama's local sake fan club
14 kinds of dam stored sake matured at the "Kurobe Dam," which is said to be the construction project of the century
Sake from Hayashi Sake Brewery in Toyama. We have many opportunities to seek out the familiar "Hayashi" in a bottle, but we received this commemorative sake when it was released.
The brewery has won the Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau's Honor Award for 10 consecutive years, and this is this year's "Honor Award-winning sake. With a rice polishing ratio of 35%, this sake is beyond the level of the sake I usually drink.
It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of thickening in the mouth.
As it is an aruze sake, the aroma is well down to the sake, and a fruity sweet aroma like pears softly escapes from the nose.
There is no bitterness, and a refreshing acidity finishes it off.
At this level, it is more of a stand-alone wine to be savored as "delicious" than to be paired with something else.
We hope many "Hayashi fans" will enjoy this sake.

I recently ran the Kurobe Meisui Marathon.
It was a great event, and the people of the town were very warm and supportive.
The Kurobe Meisui water after the run was delicious.
So after the marathon and a hot spring bath, the drink of choice would have to be Kurobe Gorge.
It is a classic light sake with a refreshing sharpness.
It was a good sake to drink while feeling comfortable and tired.
Store Drinking.
The color is clear.
Sweetness and umami of rice🌾 on the palate. It does not have a fruity sweetness.
The impression is tight, as is typical of Hokuriku sake.
The texture on the palate is firm, and the throat is clear and thick.
I felt this sake is the royal road to light, dry sake.
