Tochigi Prefectural Association Sake 4
This was the last of the Hanzo sake we received! Normally I would be too drunk to remember the taste, but this one was clear! It was so delicious!
The aroma is mild and not showy, even though it's a nama-shu. The sweetness, umami, bitterness, and aftertaste 😄It was very well-balanced and delicious, probably due to the good temperature range. I would like to try it on its own!
First time at a liquor store and was curious to buy ✨

I was a little short on drinks, so I had it as a closing drink. It had a good balance of acidity and sharpness, and was delicious even with a moderately full stomach. Sake from Mie is also all of a high level.
