Purchased at a liquor store
After much deliberation at the liquor store, I chose Atago no Matsu, which is written in kanji characters and which I have never had before.
Cold sake
Banana-like mellow aroma.
Good umami with a nice sharp taste
No alkali taste characteristic of honjozo.
Light and easy to drink as a mid-meal drink.
This is the sake you would expect to find at this izakaya.
The umami flavor dominates from around the perimeter and spreads in the mouth until the very end.
I bought this sake at the Tokyo store of a well-known sake shop in Hiroshima, because it was known as a "food sake" and was restocked due to its popularity!
It was easy to drink while still having the strength of a sake that is hard to believe it is a ogara-mi sake, and sake and food went well together 😯.
Oragami, which is not fire-aged after pressing, is the ultimate food sake.
Fresh taste reminiscent of green apples, with a pleasant acidity that lingers and disappears nicely.

From Kesennuma, take the BRT, Kesennuma Line, and Ishinomaki Line to Onagawa 🚃Seafood at Onagawa Roadside Station, Hamaterasu 😋.
Butter soy sauce 👍 matches with the scallops 👍 Just the right amount of spiciness. Not assertive, but a beautiful sake. A little fruity, but gentle. It has a wide range of acceptability. Undan (sea urchin) is OK, too. Undan without alum is good 😋 Beautiful label with a wish for Onagawa's recovery ✨.
