Purchased at the liquor store Yamada Edion Tsutaya near the station on the way home from a business trip to Hiroshima.
We went to Hiroshima Tatemachi Sake and snacks at Tsuburaya.
The sake was Junmai Ginjo Akinagari of Hou Tsurugi, which had a strong flavor as we expected. The sake had a strong flavor as we expected.
On Sake Day, I, of course, toasted to my daughter's favorite, Houken 🎉.
Houken is a delicious light and dry sake, but this one was heavier than usual, but still refreshingly dry and so delicious!
It was just like they say, "up in the fall" 🍁🍄🌰 ⤴︎ ⤴︎
We prepared oden (a kind of stew) and fried oysters from Hiroshima that we prepared from the day before, but the best was paired with white fish sashimi 🥰.
As a beginner who has only been in love with sake for 6 months, I'm really enjoying reading and learning from your posts!
I will keep drinking sake while taking care of my health 💓
Good evening, Hamuko 😃.
It's great that you and your daughter are enjoying Sake Day at your favorite sake shop 🤗.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the world of sake when you watch Sake no Wa 👋.
Hi Jay & Nobby! It was a sake day where my daughter was as usual and I was all excited and overzealous on my own, but WW Houken saved the day because he was excellent 💓 I hope we can continue to have fun and drink 😊.
