To Kanazawa for an alumni meeting of the board of directors.
We arrived a little early and had a drink at Hyakuban Kitchen SAKE Shokudo on the 1st floor of Kanazawa Station Anto West...
Is it really one drink?
I even ordered an additional Junmai Daiginjyo😅.

Junmai Daiginjo
Smooth and incredibly good!
One shot of excitement is a bit exaggerated.
Even 60ml is a reasonable price.
I guess they are all delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Thank you 🎶🎶🎶 for the food!
Sake with a strong flavor. It is relatively easy to find in Tokyo. I visited the brewery once, but could not make a reservation so I was unable to compare the sake. I would like to visit again if I have a chance.
Honjozo
Gohyakumangoku 2024 Unfiltered Nama Sake
There is a sake made by Mr. Naohiko Noiguchi, a 90+ year old toji, who is like a god of sake! I was told that he makes a sake.
The moment it enters the mouth, it has a strong sweetness.
Slightly acidic
A touch of alcohol in the nose
A sweet aroma that spreads in the mouth
Chestnut-like sweetness in the aftertaste
When served with dashimaki tamago (rolled egg with grated daikon), the mildness is reduced and the taste is crisp.
This is a bottle that we had been saving since we got it on our trip to Hokuriku!
We are now ready to open the bottle with the afterglow of our trip to Kagoshima👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is like nuts, Shaoxing wine, bitter chocolate, and rape blossoms.
The mouthfeel is gentle and clean. The rounded flavor gradually spreads.
The pure freshness derived from organic rice, as described in the description at the time of purchase. The rich taste and lingering aftertaste still spread with aromas of bitter chocolate, custard, sesame, and tofu with a sense of maturity.
Lighter than the Yamahai series we had in Kanazawa, but the profound umami and vivid acidity are quintessential ✨.
Contrast between youthfulness and maturity!
The unwavering presence is mesmerizing 😋.
I have not studied enough, so it was only about a month ago that I learned of Mr. Naohiko Noguchi's name.
I was interested and looked him up, and found out that he is a toji (master brewer) who is called the "God of Sake Brewing.
I was curious to find out more about him, and found out that he is called the "God of Sake Brewing. I thought it would be too expensive to buy such sake, but I found it for sale at a liquor store in my neighborhood (laugh).
I asked the shopkeeper about it, and he said this one was more like Mr. Noriguchi's, so I bought it!
The first sip was slightly sweet, but soon after, the alcohol power was strong!
The alcohol content of 20 is no joke (laugh).
I don't like dry shochu, but I don't mind the gusto of it.
I don't know what is "typical of Mr. Noriguchi," but even though it is a strong sake, there is a sense of being able to drink it without hesitation. I must be careful.
