Wadaya san hanpukai. A brand I've never seen before.
No aroma. Slight sweetness and a little gas. It is a dry sake with a dry, refreshing aftertaste that is easy to drink. It is easy to drink with meals.
We enjoyed it with fried fish with sesame seeds.

Impression Slightly fruity, light and dry
The aroma is faintly fruity. There is a freshness like green apple.
The taste is relatively dry and sharp.
When paired with sashimi, its sweetness completes the balance. I like this type of sake.

The final course was Tsuneyama. I wanted to go to the brewery since it was within walking distance from Fukui Station, but due to time constraints, I visited Kuroryu Shuzo, so I had it at the end of my visit to Fukui. It was juicy freshly squeezed and tasted delicious with the flavor of rice.
When you hear the word "dry" in the name of "Gohyakumangoku", you might think it is super dry and tasteless, but it is not at all. It has a moderate and beautiful umami, and if you say it is spicy, it is only to tighten up the taste.
I don't remember drinking much Tsuneyama, but I didn't know it was such a delicious sake.
It is an impeccable sake that can be enjoyed on its own or as an in-between-dinner drink.
I would like to buy it if I see it at a liquor store.
Good morning, Takesan 😃.
Tsuneyama-san! We had our first drink a while ago 😋 and were surprised at how good it was ‼️ Indeed, if you see it, you'll want to buy it!
