At home. This is the first time I've had sake from Hokkaido. I thought that Hokkaido's sake was more alcoholic, but it was completely different. You can feel the sweetness of the rice, and there is a bitter taste at the end. It is a refreshing type and very easy to drink. We received a lot of sake from Hokkaido, so we will try to taste and upload it little by little.

A Drink to Remember Series (5) In the early summer of 2015, I planned to take my car on a ferry to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, and when I arrived safely in Wakkanai, I had a drink at a yakitori restaurant for the first time in my life 🍶. The memory reminds me of the faint muscat-like aroma and sharp sharp sharpness 😋. The beauty of the label with the brand name, the wish behind the name "Fuyu Hanabi", and the taste of the local sake when you drink it on a trip...it was one of the reasons I became a sake lover 🎵. I still see it at Sake-no-wa from time to time, so I couldn't help but fish it out from old photos 😆. By the way, the picture was taken when I drank it with my family at the New Year's celebration after I returned from my trip. The other bottle in the picture, "Yukikirara", will be introduced another time ✨😉👍️

This is Kitanoshiki Houmon Honjozo. It is a little dry sake, but you can feel the sweetness. It is a delicious sake.

As the label suggests, it is a representative brand of "Kitano-Nishiki". It was featured in the movie "The Railroad Man" starring Ken Takakura, and is the oldest brand of Kobayashi Shuzo, which has lived together with the coal mines of Sorachi. This is a honjozo with an emphasis on flavor. Houmon Honjozo Rice used: Hokkaido rice Polishing ratio: 70

Light green apple-like, lively and fresh aroma. Light sweetness and refreshing citrus-like acidity. The acidity is assertive and tight. It is fresh. After swallowing, it has a slight rice flavor and a koji-like sweet flavor. Delicious!

I went to Hokkaido every summer and missed it so I decided to go with Hokkaido sake. I bought it at my usual Asahiya Sake Shop using Setapay. 2970 yen, but Setapay gives 20% back. The taste is easy to drink but firm. I think it is because of the 70% rice polishing ratio. It is normally easy to drink and goes well with sashimi. Today we are toasting with sea bream sashimi that we received as part of our hometown tax payment. Both the rice and koji are from Hokkaido. It is 15% alcohol by volume, a little sweet, and leaves a strong alcoholic aftertaste that makes me happy. It is a sake for everyday drinking.

Next, Kita no Nishiki Fuyu Hanabi Draft, which is also available only at this time of the year. What a treat! I haven't had it in a while, but was the label black? I like this one a lot. It's cloudy and completely juice.
