Iwate-Akita-Yamagata-Yuri Kogen Railway Journey🚃Day 3
Chokai Sanso's 4th glass was a Furoi IWC award-winning three-drink comparison, #3 😆 Slightly aged. Acid and bitterness. When paired with prawns, the weight of the wine softens and it becomes refreshing.
Chokai from the room was covered with clouds and it was difficult to see the whole view 😢.

Travel from Hagohonso to Sakata. Stayed at Chokai Sanso at the foot of Mt.
Here is the toast. Gentle. Smooth. But it has a dry aftertaste. A little high in alcohol or a little hot in the chest. A little sweet Mottegiku. The cheese is made with pickled ginger and the sourness of the yeast is also present.

Fruity and easy to drink. The cute pink tag is also nice and not unlike sake. We received this precious sake, which is only available in Yamagata, as a souvenir. It is delicious.
The taste of amino acids and acidity are well balanced in this sake.
The aroma is not that strong, but it has a solid and profound feeling.
It is a good sake to enjoy at the end of the year with the scenery of Shonai in mind.
