I went camping in Tochigi and bought this locally to accompany me at night.
It had a refreshing taste and sharpness, probably because it had just been released from the brewery, and it added a pleasant color to the cool evening.
I regret that I only have a rough impression and impression of the sake because I tasted it in an unusual setting.
My research revealed that Tochigi Prefecture has a lot of local sake, and if I have the chance, I would like to compare many different kinds of sake.

The rightmost one ...... is not different from today's one at all. Look at the second one, it says the brand name!
A hint of lime, crisp and dry. The sweetness lingers after rolling.
Yeah.

We enjoyed it while watching the fireworks without any pretense.

"We are a small sake brewery with no name, but we brew with love deep in the mountains of Tochigi."

The sweetness is moderate and the acidity and sharpness are wonderful!
It went well with grilled seseri and ponzu (vinegared gizzards).

When I had to go to Osaka, I procured this jacket in the basement of Takashimaya in Namba. I was attracted by the sexy lady and bought a packet. I gave it as a gift to my drinking buddies and received positive feedback that it was delicious and could be consumed quickly.

It has a sharpness followed by umami.
Sweet, spicy, and umami.
The lady at the sake store recommended it to me.
I was a bit confused, but it was the right choice!
