Kaga-no-tsuki, Gekko, Fukuro-shibori-non-filtered raw, Junmai-daiginjo-nama sake
I bought it at the end of the year, but the owner said it was a little early to drink it, so I let it sit for about a week.
This is another sake that I repeat buy every year.
It is delicious!
I couldn't help but 🍶 at my parents' house.
A bottle from this year's Hokuriku family trip with my family.
It has a strong acidity but a rich flavor full of deliciousness. It's refreshing and delicious.
Ishikawa Prefecture Kaga-no-tsuki Mikazuki Honjozo, freshly squeezed
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 19
Hazy pale crystal
Fresh, punchy rice aroma
Rice rice rice, strong alcohol, fresh spicy
First impression of the taste is quite quite firm
Sweetness with rice flavor, sharp acidity, bitterness with a strong presence.
You can taste the freshness of the freshly squeezed sake, but you can also taste the umami of the rice.
Although it is a honjozo, it wears off nicely, leaving a moderate aftertaste.
I like it, I like it!
You can feel the freshness of "Shiboritate" and taste the umami of the rice.
The alcohol content is 19 degrees and it has a punch, which I personally love!
I think it tastes great warmed up, but personally, I prefer to drink it crisp and cold.
I think it can be served with pretty much anything, but right now I'm in the mood for seared squid.
I like to eat it with mayo and soy sauce, but with this sake, I like to eat it plain.
From the toji
The toji-san said, "I put my heart into the first pressing of this sake so that you can smile after drinking it.
I was so happy to hear this message.
I was so happy!
Thank you for the delicious sake!

Kaga no Tsuki Half Moon
This is so soft ☺️
It goes over the tongue like a breeze...
It makes me feel elegant, reminiscent of Kenrokuen 😊.
I've never been there.
The subtle sweetness on the palate makes it easy to drink, yet
It refreshes my mouth dry 😋.
It goes well with sashimi and hormone nabe.

Keihan Department Store Kuzuha Mall in Hokuriku Sake Fair ④.
I have had Kaga-no-tsuki before, but I was not impressed with it and did not drink it very often.
Kaga no Tsuki: Junmai, freshly brewed with sake yeast.
He told me that this was also a rare sake here, and even though there was no tasting, he went out of his way to open a bottle for me to try it.
It has a very moist, milky, sweet and delicious flavor. The acidity is also elegant and extremely tasty.
I really like this one.
I had already bought one bottle, so I left the store to go home without buying it, but when I got to the bus stop, I went back and bought it again.
Kaga no Tsuki Junmai Ginjo.
It is said to be aged for 3 years. The color was a solid yellow and it had a matured aroma. It has a sense of maturity, with a caramel-like richness and fullness of flavor. It seems to be the best sake for heating.
I was also allowed to try another sake from the Koukokuharu Brewery, but I've already tasted it before, so I'll skip that one.
I heard that they only distribute Iwase to restaurants that are well versed in Japanese sake.
I went home thinking that Hokuriku sake is warming up in the winter.
Good morning, Nemuchi ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm very interested in the sake that you went to the bus stop but came back to purchase 🍶.
Hokuriku sake is really perfect for warming up and relaxing: ☺️
Good morning, Kotaro ☀I decided to buy only one bottle, but when I remembered how good it was, I went back and bought it 😁I think it's better than not buying it and regretting it 🤣I think it's a perfect warm drink for this winter 😊.
We had it warmed up. Easy to drink without any peculiarities. Bittersweet.
The richness of the umami is also easy to drink. The lower the temperature, the stronger the umami.
Duck in a pot with "Kaga no Tsuki Autumn Moon" (Ishikawa's Kaketsu Sake Brewery) 🍁🍶.
The lingering taste of the duck hot pot on the palate is blissfully accompanied by the taste of sake that combines the freshness and depth of autumn.

KAGANOTSUKI Junmai
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15.5
Slightly hazy pale yellow color.
The first impression of the aroma is full-bodied
banana, bitter chocolate, caramel, yogurt
First impression on the palate is rather strong
Full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, mild bitterness.
Overall, the balance of the taste is mellow and delicious, but the lingering aftertaste is not too long and fades away quickly.
Although the alcohol content is 15.5 degrees, I feel a strong sense of alcohol.
It has a sharpness like when you drink Honjozo.
I would like to drink it with simmered dishes because it has a strong umami flavor.
I had a chance to drink with the master brewer several times, and I was moved to tears every time when I heard his thoughts on this sake, but I don't remember the specifics of what moved me each time (I drank too much).
I'll have to ask him again next time.
