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.

The rice used is "Kitashizuku" produced in Kuriyama-cho where the brewery is located. I thought that the sake was named "back then" and that it was a reproduction of the original taste of the brewery, but it seems to be a little different. It is a so-called "authentic junmai-shu" (pure rice sake), and it is very drinkable. It has a refreshing aftertaste and goes well with autumn flavors. The atmosphere of the label is also ⭕️

Another sake from the same brewery. Jun-dai but with a subtle fruity aroma. It is more refreshing and crisp than Hokuto Zuisho. My memory is getting fuzzy from this area. I drank it after eating simmered kinmei and was smitten. They said it can be enjoyed at all temperatures, but I'd rather drink it cold.

Nice aroma. It tastes very good, partly because the "Niseko" I drank before was spicy. It has a nice sharpness, and the acidity tightens it up.

Clear and dry Slight aroma, sharp attack. The taste is clean and dry. It goes in smoothly and is light and full-bodied. Since the accompaniment has been changed to seared firefly squid, the sake has also been changed. It goes well with the squid.

📍New Chitose Airport Hokkaido Honpo I stopped by Do Fatty's to use a stain remover that claims to remove stains from tires and wheels...but it removed so much oil and grease from the surface of the tire that it made the tire look like a zebra pattern, which I've never seen before 😭. I've never seen a tire like this before 😭 I received a souvenir from Hokkaido. It has a fruity aroma like muscat or pear, gorgeous ginjo aroma, and soft koji aroma. It is said to be slightly dry, but as you drink it, it also feels medium to slightly sweet. There is no gassiness, and the sake has a slightly torrid quality, with a mellow mouthfeel and a firm umami, with a rich and delicious flavor 😋. Rice: Hokkaido Ginpu Rice polishing ratio: 45 Alcohol content: 16 Sake meter rating: +1

Hello, Kotori-san! I'm sorry, I'm not sure if using a tire cleaner will fix it? Zebra print tires are stylish too 😁.

Hi Erilyn 😄I had it looked at at the stand and applied some kind of protectant and it is now less noticeable, about the size of a zebra to brown tiger 😃Thank you for your help in dealing with it 👍🏻

I got a bottle of sake from the Kobayashi Shuzo brewery in Hokkaido, which is sold exclusively at their brewery. I love the Hokuto Zuisho brand of sake produced by this brewery, so it was no surprise that a 35% polished junmai daiginjo from the same brewery would be as delicious as it promised to be. In fact, it has a taste typical of Hokkaido sake, with a hint of sweetness and a clear mouthfeel with no acidity. There are so few modern sakes that it is hard to talk about them, but I think Hokkaido sake is the best sake to drink with food.
