It's been a long time since I've tasted Hayaseura.
The freshness of the sake and the strength of the raw sake with a strong acidity make me feel the pleasure of drinking sake.
This kind of sake makes me happy.

It is a light amber color 🟨.
The smell is clean and clear 😚.
The light sweetness is a clean watermelon🍉 or pear🍐 type 😊.
The rice flavor is less rice-like and a little more umami 🌾.
The sweetness was amplified when paired with cod roe: ⤴️
Purchased on a trip to Fukui during the New Year's holiday. I used to buy from this liquor store when it was located in a different location. The store became so popular that it outgrew its space and moved to its current location, a prime spot in Fukui Prefecture. This is finally my first visit. I was in the mood to buy a bottle of Koryu when I looked in the fridge and found this. The name of the store was written on the label. I thought, "This is good," and bought it.
It was the first sake I drank at home. When I drank it, I found it to be light and refreshing. I couldn't fully grasp the flavor characteristics in one day.
By the way, as I was watching TV at a hot spring hotel, I realized that at New Year's Eve, people listen to the temple bell to ring the New Year's bell to reflect on the year and give thanks to Buddha, and at the beginning of the year, they go to a shrine to pray to God for their health for the year ahead. From a religious point of view, it may be a knotty thing to do. I wonder, what kind of custom is it, I'll look it up next time.
