It's important.
I want good sake,
I like to say, "It's good! I like to say.
Thank you again for today.
Sweet, young pineapple-like aroma.
Slightly tingling in the mouth.
Slightly sweet and refreshing mouthfeel.
Shallow umami.
Pungent taste of alcohol.
Dry taste.
It is also good with lightly pickled small melon.
Taste level ☆3/5
It is the first time in a year.
This is the season to look forward to. It is a regular sake.
This brewery's sakes do not blur the basic line, so you can buy them with peace of mind.
It is a safe and secure opening of the bottle (lol).
As is the case every year, the gorgeous aroma is subdued and the usual green apple peeks out a little. And then the first sip.
Oh ⁉️ I feel a stronger sweetness than usual. This sake has a nice spiciness and bitterness while still having a sweet taste.
Hmmm. I can feel the bitterness and spiciness from the middle to the latter half, but it is not sharp enough.
Edible rice also seems to be in good shape this year, so maybe the sweetness is stronger. It is a little disappointing, but it is still a satisfying bottle.

This is from the brewery that makes Hachisen, but I always buy only Hachisen, so this time I bought Mutsu Otokoyama.
My impression is that it has a firm, hard feel. The grain aroma is weak, there is no sweetness, and the aftertaste is not very long. However, it goes well with aji (rice wine).
Pairing with Ate
Shio-karaage (salted deep-fried fish)

Personal Favorite ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Mutsu Otokoyama
is a disguised dry taste.
You can eat it. A good food wine.
It's not a habitual drink, but it whets the appetite.
Sacrifices the cost of food
Summon satisfaction

Rice: Aomori Prefecture rice
Rice polishing ratio 55/60
Alcohol content 16%.
Hachinohe Shuzo was the first sake brewer to start producing this sake. I drank it while wondering how it differs from Hachisen. The soft water unique to Aomori makes it smooth on the palate. However, as one would expect from Otokoyama, it has a heavy weight that hits you hard as soon as you start drinking. The taste of rice is subtle, but it is heavy. However, the heaviness faded in the latter half of the bottle, and by the end, the acidity, which is typical of Hachisen, was light and easy to drink. It is heavy, but that being said, it is an easy-drinking bottle.
