The second drink at the second house was Momokawa-san's Oomatsuzo.
Hiyayogoroshi is No. 1 as I hadn't had it yet this year 😄.
Polishing ratio 65
More than 17 degrees Celsius, less than 18 degrees Celsius
It is well-balanced, mellow, and full of flavor.
It is not too heavy for its alcohol content.
It goes well with iburi gakko (pickled ginger).
When I see a brand I'm not familiar with, I always want to try it 🍶.
Momogawa Junmai Ginjo-shu
60% 15-16% 720ml 1584yen
My father bought this at the Co-op.
It has a sharpness, but it is also mild and caramelly. It also has a hint of bitterness. It is good as a food sake and is a safe sake as expected from Momogawa. My father, an old man, was pleased with it.
Aomori yeast and Momokawa yeast are used. I looked up the characteristics of Momogawa yeast, but could not find much about it on the Internet.
We were taken care of by a sales person at the brewery of Hinode Tsuru. Memories of the trip.

I really like the fruity but not too sweet aroma! It has a sour taste with a rice flavor, but you can drink it easily. I got it as a souvenir from Aomori.
Place of purchase】Ogikubo Town Seven
Edamame (green soybeans)
Since the date of production is December 2012, it seems to be leftover from the Aomori Fair held long ago.
It has 17% alcohol by volume, so it comes with a punch, but it does not have a sharp taste, so it is easy to drink for an undiluted sake, and it is even better when the temperature rises. I think it goes better with strong snacks.

Taste: Linked to the aroma.
Overall impression: Not to my taste at any temperature.
At Nanbu Moguri in Hachinohe, Japan.
It smells like a sake brewery.
Sweet and sour like green plum wine.
A refreshing taste.
The alcohol taste is a bit strong and lingers on the tongue.
The strength that lingers afterwards.
It is said to be "umakuchi" but I felt it was crisp and dry. It is a sake that has a delicious sake taste and goes well with Japanese food, and I like its aroma and the way it goes down my throat.
