Sake-like, slightly ripe aroma.
The aroma has a light graininess and a starchy chestnut-like flavor.
The crisp mouthfeel is typical of a honjozo sake.
Goes well with oden radish.
Just the right food sake.
Taste level ☆3.5/5
I saw this one at the liquor store and I had never had it 🤔.
I brought it home with me.
Hamachidori Nigori Sake
It is made with Iwate sake rice "Ginginga", Iwate yeast "Yuko no Omoi", and Iwate malt fungus "Reimei Hiraizumi".
A bit shwashy (of course!).
Sweetness, though,
A little yogurt-like sourness.
Nigori is dangerous because you don't feel it too much even though it has 17% alcohol 😅.
I drank 2/3 of it on Jan 4.
On the 6th (today), I had an endoscopy, and the day before that, I didn't drink.
During the exam I had a small polyp removed, so exercise and drinking is banned for a week starting today😱.
Next Saturday was our annual high school classmates tennis, hot spring, and drinking party 😭.
The day before yesterday, I had lunch with my family at a nice Japanese restaurant in Ebisu hotel, but I was the driver on that day 😭
The remaining 1/3 of Hamachidori is in a week,
I guess I should rest my liver this year 🥴.
Hi Takashi 🐦.
I'm sorry to hear about your surgery after the test 😰I'm sad to hear about all the cancellations too... I wonder if it will be ok to drink a little after a while? Please take care of yourself 🙏.
Hi Pon 😊
I still have to wait for the final results at the end of the month, but today they said I can take it in a week. I am wondering if it was really necessary to take it for a little while. I think so, but just in case, it's been a long time since I've had a week off from drinking!
Hi Takashi, Good evening.
I'm sorry you had to go through such a difficult time with the polyp removal from the examination 💧.
I can't believe you can't exercise or drink for a week,
I really appreciate your hard work🍀.
I wish you well and hope you resume drinking 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki 😄.
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
It would have been sooner if I hadn't cut it off, but, I can't help it.
I'll take it as a good opportunity to give my liver a rest 😆.
Good evening, Takashi 😃.
It's good to take it out while it's still small!
Let's just think of it as a day off from drinking and look forward to the taste change of Hamachidori in a week's time 🤗.
All Iwate sake, 55% koji rice, 60% kake rice, 17% alcohol, modest aroma, smooth mouthfeel, moderate sweetness, crisp and dry, slightly high in alcohol content, but easy to drink....
Today is the last day of work and I am having dinner at home.
Kamaboko (fish paste), fried small horse mackerel, and kombujime (sea bream). The rest is stir-fried pork, suki kelp, and carrots, which he tried to make like Okinawan kubu ili chi.
I wonder how much more will be available by the end of tonight?
Hamachidori Arashibari Junmai Namaishu 2701 yen
Today we had a special ...... spicy ramen nabe 😚 it's a little spicy and delicious 😋 Naturally, I wanted to open a new sake, so I CHOICE this one 🤗.
The aroma is clear with a hint of ginjo sweetness 😍the first attack is more sweet than the aroma💜and then comes the spicy bitterness...delicious 🥰Aarashibari is not what you think of as slightly carbonated, refreshing and low alcohol, this sake is solid and my favorite type 😘Cosy and a good sake. I found a good sake with good cost performance 😊😊😊😊😊.
Sweet aroma, slightly greenish.
Lightly banana-like aroma in the mouth,
The rice flavor is softly swelling with a light acidity.
The taste is smooth and sweet.
The mouthfeel is clear like a drop of water.
The acidity slowly fades away, leaving a gentle aftertaste.
Taste: 3/5 stars.

Once a year, my friends and I have a leatherfish fishing tournament. We start fishing in the morning with a can of beer in one hand and aim for big kingfish 😃.
After the catch, we have an awards ceremony at an Italian restaurant owned and operated by the boatyard 😊.
The kingfish we caught were cooked for us and we enjoyed them with sake brought in by a friend of ours 😋.
It is a blissful moment once a year 🤗.
It was a crisp and dry sake.
