Niboshiko at HORSE HONGAN in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima
Choice of local sake from the recommendations
The aroma is modest.
The taste is crisp, cool, and refreshing.
The aroma leaves your nose after it goes down your throat.
When the temperature rises a little in the mouth, the sweetness and richness increase, and it is even more delicious.
You can enjoy it with spicy miso and soy sauce horse sashimi, which is a favorite of sake drinkers, or with basil yukke (with powdered cheese and raw egg yolk).
I also enjoyed it with basil yukke (with powdered cheese and raw egg), which was a great pairing for the mellowness of the sake.
Although it is classified as Junmai Ginjo Nama
Although it is classified as Junmai Ginjo Nama, it has a delicacy that rivals Daiginjo.
Aizuwakamatsu Part 3
I drink a lot of sake from Fukushima,
This is my first time drinking it😊.
What a mild and gentle taste!
I've already drunk about 3 cups😅.
But the alcohol content is high at 17%.
Loved it 🫡.

Fukushima Sake Festival.
I was looking at the sakewa and found a sake 🍶 that I've been wanting to drink someday 😳.
Hooray for events 🙌!
Clear sweetness, a sense of rice in the air 🌾.
Clean throat with a delayed hackles feeling.
A cool and refreshing sake🍶.
I feel the prairie breeze hey 🌬️😆
Blue label of "The Wind Blows". Moderate aroma. There is no mention of an autumn sake. I was once told by a woman at Gonoi Sake Brewery in Aizu that this brewery does not make seasonal sake.
However, this sake has an atmosphere of freshness and maturity, with a good flavor of rice and strength, and seems to go well with autumnal foods. This time, I paired it with grilled salt fish, which went well with it.
I bought a bottle of Junmai Daiginjyo from Kaze ga Kowaru when I went back to my hometown last month for a memorial service. It seems to be a very rare bottle. It has a gentle pineapple-like ginjo aroma. The taste is sweet and sour and juicy. Yet, the aftertaste is pleasantly astringent.
It is a refreshing and tasty sake right after opening the bottle.
After a long time, it becomes a disappointment (T_T), but once you get used to it, it is still delicious (laugh).
This sake was recommended by a sommelier at a travel destination.
I bought it at a liquor store because it was at the top of the list this time.
The amethyst was dark and mellow right after opening the bottle. Delicious.
After a while, but I guess it's also good.
