This is the fourth bottle I am receiving to support Ishikawa Prefecture, albeit in a small way.
This sake was also picked up at the Ishikawa antenna store in front of Tokyo Station, where 100 yen will be donated to Ishikawa Prefecture and 100 yen to the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association 😊.
When poured, it has a yellowish color. Like a pale gold!
I'll take it 😉.
The acidity jumps in first.
Then the astringency, umami, and sweetness appear, and in the second half, the spiciness and sweetness dance 😊.
A simple way to describe it is that there is a slight sweetness to the slight carbonation and the rice flavor appears at the end 😋.
After opening the bottle, work gets busy and after five days or so, the sweetness increases and the astringent bitterness overlaps, followed by the freshness that makes it enjoyable.
As the temperature settles down, the sweetness becomes sweet and spicy 😉.
The color has deepened too 😎.

The first "Lion's Village".
They use Sake Mirai for their sake rice,
I bought it without a second thought.
It is a gem with sourness and bitterness.
Support sake made by a brewery in Ishikawa prefecture for the reconstruction of Noto🍶.
Mild aroma 🎶.
Fruity sweet and sour 😆
Sweet and shwashy aftertaste ✨.
The southernmost tip of Ishikawa Prefecture,
Matsuura Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga.
We bought a bottle of sake at this brewery as part of our visit to the hot spring resort area. We had originally planned to enjoy a sake comparison at a nearby bar in the evening, but we gave up due to lack of time. I would like to have a second chance,
But Yamanaka Onsen town is clean, spacious, and fun. I would like to go back.
I chose a junmai sake with a lion (probably) on it. The label is also cute, with an owl and an ogre on it.
The aroma is gentle, with a hint of banana,
The taste is light, with a pleasant acidity and astringency,
It has a light, refreshing, umami acidity, astringency, and a crisp, dry taste,
It is a good match for Japanese food as a food sake.
When heated, it is quite acidic and has a solid dryness,
It is said to be a sake that warms up well, but personally, I prefer to drink it cold.
The umami mellows out as the day goes by, making it easy to drink.
