Last week I chose "Hishiko" for my mother's birthday 🎂.
And this week, for my father😇s birthday, I chose the sake...
It is "Harugokoro Junmai Sake Kibune Hatsu Shibori" from Komatsu City, Ishikawa 🍶.
I was attracted by the fact that it has my father's name on it and the fact that it was the first brand I had seen 🌸.
After the apple-like acidity, the rich flavor and alcohol taste reminiscent of sake lees was impressive, and the sip after sip went on and on! 🥰
The second photo is a two-shot with "Hishiko" since we were there! 😆 😆
Happy birthday to your father, Aaru Sake 🎉🎂!
I love that you chose a brand with your name on it ✨and that they are lined up 💕Parents must be so happy😊.
Thank you so much, Pon 🤗.
My parents are from Tohoku, but the two bottles they chose were both Hokuriku sake 🍶😁 At least the sweets were thin skin buns from my hometown 😉🍵.
Good evening, Mr. Aaru Sake 🌛.
Happy birthday to your father 🎉.
I'm from the next prefecture but I've never seen "Shunshin" before 😊.
Both Tohoku and Hokuriku are deep snowy areas with heavy snowfalls, so the temperament of the sake may be similar 😁.
Happy Birthday to your father 🎂, Mr. Aaru Sake 🎉Happy Birthday to your father 🎂🎉Two shots with your father's name on the sake and your mother's (name) on the sake, that's wonderful 😆✨.
Your parents must be so happy to be able to celebrate like this 😊💕
Hi Jive, good evening 🌓.
Thank you 🤗
There are still many brands 🍶 that I don't know about ✨It's fun to discover the sake that each climate produces 😆.
Thank you so much, Tsubu!
I first took a picture with the two bottles on opposite sides, but it didn't feel right, so I had to reshoot it 😁 I'm glad we could taste the "father & mother sake" together 😊.
Since it's spring🌸, I think I'll have another bottle of sake with spring in it.
I bought a bottle of Shunshin by Nishide Sake Brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
I've been curious about this sake for a while but never got around to it.
I will have it with boiled flounder 🙏.
I thought it might be a bit strong, but it wasn't. It has a nice richness, sweetness, acidity, and a mellow feeling 😆.
It's a bit like a lighter version of Tamagawa.
As the label says, I preferred it at room temperature rather than chilled 👍

Postscript.
Obtained through crowdfunding.
The current toji at Nishide Sake Brewery recreates his predecessor's recipe from 30 years ago in this Onkoshin Challenge sake.
The desire to support, the appeal of the returned product, and,
Because the sake is brewed with Kumamoto yeast (K901), contrary to the current policy of insisting on locally produced ingredients from Ishikawa Prefecture, we were impressed by the way the sake was distributed only to supporters through crowdfunding, taking into consideration the inconvenience to our business partners.
Thank you for your support.
It's just delicious. I don't know how to describe it, it's the type of sweet and sour that I've never had much of, although it's more apple leaning. I like it a lot!
Personal preference 3.6/5
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15
I participated in a remote drinking party for the first time!
It was fun to see so many of you cheerful people!
I will comment more than ever 🫡.
I brought a bottle of Nishide Sake Brewery's Shunshin with me at that time!
The label is beautiful, as it was made in collaboration with Yoshitaka Amano!
The color is quite amber.
The taste is bitter and umami with the sweetness of rice!
It tastes like 80% cacao bitter chocolate.
It tastes like an easy drinking version of Tamagawa's vintage!
I ended up drinking 3 cups of this wine in a remote drinking session!
I think this is the first time I drank 3 cups of wine when I was home alone!
Thank you very much for the drink 😋!

The balance is good. It is soft.
