Gen Dry
180ml
Gen by Wakatsuru Shuzo. The details are not clear. It may be a souvenir sake.
The concept is to make a dry sake that you never get tired of drinking.
It is said to have a cool design suitable for dry sake.
It is probably a regular sake. Even the standard sake seems to be made from Toyama Gohyakumangoku.
It tastes as easy to drink as it looks.
It is hard to guess the name "Wakatsuru," but it is the same company as Naekaya. Toyama Prefecture must have been shaken by the earthquake.

Wakatsuru Shuzo itonami mellow jun 720ml
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 12
This is the fourth itonami, another brand of Wakatsuru Shuzo.
It has a rich taste that is hard to believe it is low alcohol. It is said that it is made in the same way as kijo sake.
This is the second year for this brand.
Since I decided to spend the New Year's holiday in Toyama, let's celebrate with some Toyama sake! So I bought a bottle of itonami, a new brand from Wakatsuru Shuzo, known for its Naekaya brand. itonami has a series of different sake qualities: Sou, Aroma, Sai, and Mellow. All have an alcohol content of 12 degrees.
SOU-SOU" is a new brand of sake brewed in a six-step process that goes beyond the standard three- or four-step process to create a more detailed six-step process that produces a sharp sour taste with a sweetness. The brewing process is said to be "six-stage brewing.
This is delicious. I guess this is the era of low-alcohol sakes being released in Toyama as well. I wonder what kind of sake other itonami have....

#Japanese Sake
Aged about 3 years in the refrigerator
It was sharp when opened.
but after some time, the corners have been removed.
Very tasty!
It can be served cold or hot.
A mini bottle of Toyama souvenir.
It is said to be dry, but I guess it is just dry. It has a slight sweetness and a light taste.
It has a sharpness, perhaps because it is alky, but the overall taste is bland.

It is Sake Day, so open unopened sake.
Hiyoroshi 2023 from Wakatsuru Sake Brewery in Toyama Prefecture.
Purchased at department store Yamato in Toyama City.
I've had many cans of Wakatsuru Shuzo (Saburomaru distillery) whiskey and highballs, but this is my first time to drink sake...supposedly.
The aroma and mouthfeel are mild.
The sweetness and umami spread in the mouth and disappear quickly. It has a nice sharpness.
Easy to drink. Delicious!
Certified by Toyama Sake Brewers' Association, Hiyoroshi for Autumn 2023
The second kind Wakatsuru is rich and crisp
It has a delicious flavor and enriches the palate.
drink cold
Clear and colorless
Slightly matured aroma
Tingling dryness spreads along with the full-bodied flavor.
The aftertaste is quite short and very clear.
When paired with snacks, the aftertaste is even shorter and the snacks' flavors are enhanced.
