(˶ᐢ˶ GW Tohoku Tour Purchases (7) I bought this at Ishidoriya Roadside Station 😀. The taste is gentle on the palate😊Sourness? It's a bit sour but easy to drink 😚 It's a bit sweet but refreshing😇. Today I had Tenho, a local ramen of Nagano prefecture 😋 I had the meat fried ramen🍜 and gyoza🥟😘The light ramen and gyoza went well together🥳Next I will try the dandanmen😙.

Junmai Daiginjo that is not like Yamada Nishiki. The sweetness is moderate. It takes some time for the flavors to develop. Personally, I've always had the impression that Yamadanishiki has a sweet aftertaste, but the dryness of the flavor reminded me of the diversity of Japanese sake. And even though it's supposed to be a little out of character for my taste, it was a dish that made me drink more! As the temperature rises, the taste is distinctly sweet at first and then dry (and crisp) at the end. It broke the stereotype that Yamada Nishiki is sweet! The brewery started brewing in 1922. The name of the brand was changed from the famous water "Horime-no-Ido" to "Horinoi".

I was the only one in Tohoku who had not checked in for Iwate sake, so I was able to purchase Horinoi, which I happened to meet at my usual Asahiya sake store. Overall, the sake is easy to drink and has no habits. It is not a refreshing sake, but rather it rolls on the tongue. It has a full flavor. The alcohol content of 17% is high for a sake that is made from pure rice, but it does not make you feel that way. At 3,520 yen for 50% polished rice, it is a bargain. Today we will enjoy it with bonito sashimi from Katsuura, where we stopped by after camping.

The owner's lecture is gospel to me. I see, it is not an aroma that wafts to the nose, but a fragrance that reaches the nostrils by holding it in the mouth. Thankfully, the owner's words became a device to connect my undeveloped sake brain synapses. It's been a long time since I've had a draft sake.

Mellow, aromatic and easy to drink. Slightly sweet taste, which I like. Repeater number one! I was attracted by the pop-up sign that said "No. 1 repeat customer" and it was a great decision.
