Souvenir sake from Tochigi. Last one.
I don't often drink junmai sake, but it's a souvenir.
The aroma is a bit weak, but when you drink it, you can taste the rice flavor.
If it is good, a four-pack of sake will be empty in no time.
This one was fast, too.
The umami of the rice comes in a gust of flavor, and then flows with a touch of sourness.
I rushed to the store 30 minutes before closing time at the Hankyu Brewer's Festival and bought this bottle at the storehouse where bouken and Nemuchi picked it up for me.
It is made from rice called "Tochigi-no-Hoshi," which has a strong flavor with a clean aftertaste and is easy to drink 💡.
The label also had a little sparkle to it, making it one of the more eye-catching bottles in the line ✨.
720 mL ¥ 1,595
Utsunomiya's LRT seems to be doing moderately well. p
I am happy to see that this public transportation system, which passes near my alma mater, is doing well.
So, I will have the LRT 1st anniversary commemorative can.
The contents are Shikizakura special junmai, which is medium smooth and tasty.
It is a bit pungent, but not enough to be bothersome.
Yes, it is a very good sake. p
Good evening, Mr. Gyoza 😃.
Ah! 301 check-in. ‼️Congrats on crossing the 300 mark 🎉!
LRT🚉 is really on a roll 🤗.
Love Tochigi with seasonal cherry blossoms 🥰It's a stone 👍!
Jay & Nobby, thanks for all your comments 😭
I didn't pay attention to the number of check-ins or anything at all, but I didn't realize it was that much already.
Thanks for the congratulations 😭
Tochigi is my second home!
This is the second bottle of sake 🍶 I received as a gift.
It is refreshing and easy to drink.
It has no bitterness, and the sourness and sweetness are only slightly pronounced. The aroma is slightly sweet, and although it may not be as assertive as a food sake, it is easy to drink for beginners.
It is easy to drink for beginners. It may be better matched with Japanese food such as grilled or simmered fish than with fried or other solid snacks.
I opened the bottle and after 13 days, I stored the remaining bottle in the refrigerator and drank it again. I think this sake has a stronger melon aroma and a better aftertaste. Most of my favorite Sentori should be drunk sooner than later, but I have found a new sake that is better for me.

The name of the dish has cherry blossoms in it, so I will have it because it is in season.
I thought the waiter was crazy because he brought it to me while saying "wee wee wee wee", but I heard it is written "first time" and read as "wee wee wee".
So I enjoyed it while saying "wiwiwiwi". It was fun.
