It was a night in Hakodate, and when I told them I wanted a second cup of sake with unpolished rice, this is what I got.
Unlike the first cup, it had a strong rice taste and a robust, dark flavor.
The dish was a kind of mapo tofu with blue cheese,
I enjoyed it with a side dish called 😋.

Just a reminder 🙏.
Today was my last summer vacation and I took off work from noon 🤗.
So I came to "Stand Lokey", a bar where you can drink from noon 🤗.
I drank "Katori" Junmai, a sake from Chiba. Delicious 😋.
Room temperature is good from noon 😆.
So I went to Fukuno Tori Iidabashi to check out the weekend's events.
Today's service sake was Katori Namahashi 90, made with 90% polished rice and brewed with a "namahashi" (sake yeast) yeast, which is quite a strange spec. It has a very rich flavor and full-bodied taste. The aroma that comes up later is also quite strong. It is very drinkable.
Unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Rice polishing ratio 90% Alcohol 20.5
I have had Daigo's millet and shizuku before, but this is the first time I have had Katori. The aroma in the mouth reminds me of Daigo, and the taste of astringency and miscellaneous flavors are felt down the throat, and the last thing that remains in the mouth is sourness.
I thought it would be better served hot than chilled, so I warmed it up and the full flavor spread out. The acidity is still there!
I like this kind of sake.
I love this kind of sake.
Good evening, Umi-san.
As you say, this sake is best served hot 🍶😄I think it has a different taste from today's refreshing and fruity sake, what do you think?
I don't know what the current fad (?) is. I don't know. It's delicious! is delicious. I think everyone has their own taste. I have a wide strike zone. I wonder if that answers your question.
I think that's fine. I think the best part of sake is that it can be enjoyed at a variety of temperatures: chilled, room temperature, lukewarm, top-heat, and hot, as well as clear and fruity.

Impressions
(Maybe the expression is different) Aged and unique flavor and acidity.
Reminds me of Tsuchida.
I have not tried it cold, and it is better at room temperature than heated.

Sake with a strong flavor anyway! It is very rich!
The rice polishing ratio is 90%, which seems to be almost unrefined, which gives it a strong flavor and acidity.
The aroma is a bit peculiar. Someone commented that it smells like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine), and I thought, "I see.
I thought it smelled like soy sauce even though it's supposed to be sake. I think it smells a little bit salty.
The moment you drink it, you get a lot of sourness and umami, but the aftertaste is surprisingly light and doesn't linger.
Recently, there are many fruity and sweet sake and light, clean-flavored sake, so this was a good discovery.
It is a "umakuchi" sake, but it is not too strong, so I recommend it to those who are not good at umakuchi but want to try it...
Sake that is not polished. So the rice polishing ratio is 90.
The aroma is not of fruit, but of rice. The acidity is stronger than the others, and it comes with a gusto.
It is different from the citrusy sourness of the Bodai brew.
It is sweet, but with a kick.
The label said the alcohol content was 21 degrees. That's a surprise! I thought.
I found the best 👀!
I've been curious about Terada Honke, which is particular about its brewing for a long time, so I finally got around to drinking it.
I purchased it at Sazanami Sake Shop in Hikone City!
Malted Rice type : Miyamanishiki, Yukikawake
Kakemai: Miyamanishiki, Yukikake, Koshihikari
Do they use different types of rice depending on the occasion? 🤔
Color →Dark kohaku color.
Aroma → Unique aroma that is somehow different from that of old sake. It has a mysterious aroma like grapefruit. Anyway, the aroma is strong.
Taste →From the very beginning, it has a strong taste. It tastes like rice, or perhaps it is the umami of rice, but it has a unique flavor just like the aroma.
It has a strong aroma and taste, and is delicious even when heated.
It's perfect 😋! Perfect 💯.
One sip and I'm a fan 🤤.
The color is slightly yellow. It has a crisp, strong acidity, which is typical for a sake made from a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. It was paired with sashimi (4th photo), so it was served at room temperature, but it would also be good warmed.
