(˶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".

Tonight we are toasting with #Horinoi Junmai Daiginjo Ginga from #Takahashi Sake Brewery in Shiwa-gun, Iwate Prefecture. I love this sake, though #Murasakiu from the same area has been the talk of the town lately. It made me fall in love with Iwate sake. It has a nice richness with the sweetness and umami of rice, and it is refreshing and clean. And the best thing is that it is reasonably priced. ☺️

Junmai Daiginjo by Ginga. It is the first time for us to drink this sake rice, but it has a very elegant ginjo aroma like peach, and the acidity and sweetness that is not too much spins an indescribably pleasant feeling. A bargain!

At room temperature, it is crisp and tasty, both slightly sweet and refreshing in my opinion. At least at this temperature, there is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Personally, I think it would be better with a bitter aftertaste. It can probably be served either warmed or cold. But I have the impression that it is best served cold. I'll try it on the rocks this time instead of heating it up since there's not much left! It's good. The bad parts are gone and it's easy to drink. The umami flavor is still there and it can be used in various ways. However, there is a slight alcohol taste in the aftertaste. It is somewhat like an ice breaker.

Landing in Iwate since Fall 2019 Purchased at Fresh Tamori Airport Store Rice used is Toyonishiki grown in Iwate This is the first time I've had this sake. It is a standard sake that is refreshing, sharp, and has a slight sweetness to it. It was just right for a night at a hot spring hotel and a sip. It is the best part of traveling to encounter this kind of sake ❗️.

This sake is made from Iwate Prefecture sake rice. It is a delicious sake with a clean and crisp taste, and does not interfere with food. I had it with sushi, and it went very well with it.
