The first sip gives the impression of being slightly dry, with a strange flavor that may or may not be habitual. However, when served with mozuku vinegar, octopus sashimi, and Camembert cheese, the sake has the power to encompass a variety of exquisitely different tastes. It is delicious.
The sake is said to be made with Koshinraku, a local product of Oarai, where the Tsuki no I sake brewery is located.
It was sweet with a slightly tangy aftertaste.
I did not find it fruity.
Traditional sake. So called "dry". I think it would be easier to drink if it were warmed up a little to remove the stinginess. I didn't like it much...
Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki
It is more rough than fresh.
However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly.
I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere!
I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

at Sake no Ana
I bought this at a liquor store called Osonoe Shoten when I visited Oarai, Ibaraki.
The taste is a little bit habitual, but it is light and easy to drink with no habit coming in. I was going to stop after one glass, but I drank 3 glasses (lol).
It was very tasty.
We went for a drink at Kinase, a standing bar at the south exit of Mito station, today because the Tsuki no I Sake Brewery from Oarai is there.
#Getsui Sake Brewery
I've been to Tsuki no Tsukii Sake Brewery too!
Japanese moon is also delicious 😆.
The label of Hikakuichi is written by the same person who created the logo of beams!
I heard that the person who designed the logo of beams wrote the label of Hikakuichi!
○Drinking at home. The amber color is faint. It has a rice flavor and acidity. It is a refreshing sake that is perfect with fish (sashimi tonight). The label is a wave of the ocean in Oarai.
ALC 16 degrees. Made from 55% locally grown Koshikagura rice.
