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.

Souvenir from a business trip to Hokkaido 🍶. Calm and tasty aroma. The overall taste is refreshing after a light first impression. It is dry and has a slightly acidic aftertaste with a hard feeling that spreads as it is.

Sorry for slacking off on posting and not being in season. I went to the GW. The annual "Raccoon Nijo Sake Festival". This year, breweries from all over Japan participated, which doubled the fun. ‼️ The first sake was from the annual "Gara-pon" (lottery). This is what is called "Hazure". The rice used was comet. It is a standard sake of Kitano-Nishiki and is a clear, dry sake.

This product was developed through repeated trial and error based on the theme of using Hokkaido rice to create an unprecedented type of junmai sake. This junmai daiginjo is suitable for long-term aging and can be enjoyed warmed after aging. The aroma and flavor can be enjoyed at all temperatures. Sake rice is Hokkaido Ginpu, milling ratio 50%, in-house yeast "NISIKI 100 Year Yeast". Sold exclusively at special dealers. They say it is rare to find it in Tokyo even though it is available in Hokkaido 😆. I had it well chilled at a corner shop ✨. It has a clean, crisp taste right from the start! The aroma has a hint of muscat 😆. The sweetness is moderate and subtle, and the umami of the rice stands out! The rice flavor spreads as you continue to drink 🤤. It has a clear and transparent impression, with a light and dry taste that is not too assertive! It will be a great addition to a variety of dishes ✨.

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.
