The recommended sake of the day was Otokoyama and Kokushi Musou!
Then let's have it, Kokushi Musou!
The sign said it was recommended to be served lukewarm, but I was in the mood for something cold.
So we poured it into a glass on the rocks!
He poured a glass full of sake!
Tsukune skewers with shiso plum and freshly cooked mackerel rice!
This blue label Jungin from Kokushi Musou!
This was the first time I drank it!
We met again one year ago at the lounge of New Chitose Airport 🍽️
I also met this sake here in Kushiro!
I was entertained by Asahikawa's famous sake this day!
Tomorrow, we will stay one more night in Kushiro!

A drink I had after work.
Asahikawa's local sake, Kokushi Musou 🀄️
It is a refreshing sake with a great flavor.
I had it with a bowl of rice topped with seafood and it was delicious!
At a sushi restaurant just before the boarding gate at New Chitose Airport!
At first, when it was chilled, it was very sake-like and tasted like regular good sake, but as it got closer to room temperature, it became softer and easier to drink...!
It's like rice!
It's rare to find a sake that is easier to drink when not chilled!
It was delicious!
Expedition & Train Sake. This time, we opened a bottle of the brewery's first pressing, which we got at the Takasago Shuzo brewery in Kokushimusou.
There are many different types of Kura-shu Ichiban Shibori, but when in doubt, choose Junmai-shu. This is freshly pressed sake that is bottled raw without being heated. It has a refreshing ginjo aroma, and while it goes down the throat easily, you can taste the umami flavor. If you are not aware of the fact that it is unfiltered raw sake with an alcohol content of between 18 and 19 degrees Celsius, you can easily drink it.
This is one of those bottles that makes you feel the pleasure of visiting the brewery. Delicious: ‼️
I thought it would be quite dry, but it is surprisingly easy to drink. It has a strong umami flavor and a spicy aftertaste, but not too strong.
I drank it with salted squid, and it was a perfect match 👌.
