As in the previous issue, it was a return gift from Furusato Tax.
It was sold as a set with Junmai Ginjo.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo, which is a higher grade of Junmai Daiginjo than Kiaruhi.
It was very tasty too 😃.
This is a return gift from Furusato Tax.
Haneya seems to be Shimura Ken's favorite local sake before his death, and that alone made me look forward to it.
When I opened the bottle, I could clearly smell the sparkling ginjo aroma, just as the name suggests.
It has a very fresh and lush fruit-like flavor, so it is definitely delicious in a wine glass or something. (I drank it with a sake cup.)
It is amazing that sake, which is made from rice, can be made so fruity.
Personally, I prefer this kind of sake, but it may not be so popular among sake connoisseurs who like light and dry sake.
Pair it with yellowtail sashimi. It was a treat.
It is fruity, but its flavor is milder and fuller than that of other Haneya wines. It still has a subtlety that will keep you coming back for more as a food sake.
Gorgeous aroma
Light sweetness and some acidity
Aftertaste leaves something in the throat
Woody aroma?
Almost no alcohol
The store staff said it has been quite popular since it was served at JAL's first class lounge.
One more bottle. This time, I wanted to try a sake from Toyama Prefecture.
This is Haneya, a brand name of Tomikiku Sake Brewery in Toyama City.
I bought it at a liquor store in Takaoka City.
I heard a gushing sound when the bottle was opened, so I had high expectations.
The aroma is a gorgeous apple-type ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel has a stimulating sensation on the tongue, followed by a refreshing acidity, from which the umami and sweetness of the rice gradually come through.
As the brand name suggests, it is light and easy to drink, like a feather or a wing.
We are grateful to have encountered a good sake.
New Year's sake (1) Haneya
My brother bought this Hanedoya when he went back to his parents' house.
It is a very Toyama-style sake. The fruity sweetness characteristic of Haneya spreads in the mouth from the aroma.
It is not only sweet, but also has a firm structure,
It is a delicious sake that is very drinkable.
It is a sake that can be served with a meal by itself.
