It is a jungin summer sake from Hazen Hakubai's Tawarakusetsu brand, polished to 50, but with a certain junmai-like heaviness that left a bit of a classic feel to it. The smoothness and other characteristics of Tawarasetsu, which is released during the winter season, were more to my taste.
It is a Yamagata sake, but it has the image of a sake for heated sake lovers in the Kansai region, and is not so common at liquor stores in eastern Japan. It seems to be hard when opened, so we started with warming it up.
40°C (104°F). It has almost no fruity taste, and the alcohol taste with a slight ripeness is in the air, while the umami taste is quite full and the sharpness is not strong. When cooled, it has a slight lemon or orange fruitiness.
At room temperature. It has a slight lemon-like aroma, and the umami of the rice expands as it is absorbed. The spiciness is sharp and sharp with a bitter taste.
Cold sake is not much different, but the bitterness is a little stronger.
Goes well with dishes made with koji. Cheese is also good. It is more suited for lukewarm or warmed sake.
Congratulations chika on your first time in Yamagata and your first time at Haneda Sake Brewery 🎉🎊.
It's a paradise here 🤣the plum wine is delicious this time of year and the rock oysters? And the rock oysters?
Forgot to raise it yesterday!
Calming rice aroma.
Pungent and pungent taste from the refreshing entrance.
Freshness of rice.
Good acidity and crisp flavor.
A perfect food sake.
Taste 3.5/5
I jumped on it because it was Yamagata, and it was a taste I had never had before.
It tasted straight, or rather straight and unclouded. But it didn't have much peculiarity.

It came out in a sake cup 🍶.
It's refreshing, but you can taste the sweetness. It has a soft balance and is easy to drink without being too heavy-handed 😙.
It ends with a touch of astringency.
I thought it would be good to drink slowly as a food sake 🤗.
Hi Hiro, good evening 😃
We had it at a lunch outing a long time ago 😋We often talk about how we want to go back to that restaurant for a drink 🥹😊.
Nice food and drink👍
Hi Hiro, good evening. Tawarasetsu is delicious 😋I was remembering that my mom at the Yamagata restaurant loves tawarasetsu and when I go there in winter, she lets me drink it and compare so much 😊I want to drink it again thinking about Yamagata💕.
Good morning, Hirupeko😄
The story is about Tawara snow. ☺️ I think the level of guessing goes up when you add memories to the sake 😁It makes me feel like an adult when I say let's drink with memories 😆.
