It has been a long time since I was on an expedition. Since we were in the car, we opened a modest sized bottle of this.
It is a junmai sake made from Tochigi rice. Although it was a travel sake, we forgot to prepare a cup and drank it straight from the bottle. It has a soft taste with an impressive sweetness. If it were warmed up hot, the sweetness would be reduced and the sake would be more balanced.
I thought it was nice to encounter many kinds of sake when traveling.
When I dropped by Kobe Hankyu at the end of the year, I was about to pass by it because I didn't have any sake, but then I found this one!
I love Tochigi again 😊.
It's thin and cloudy. Fresh, clean, sweet and juicy.
First time I've ever had a draft sake and it's so good.
Even after drinking it again, it tastes like a refreshing apple.
It is grayish clear with aromas of cooked rice, honeysuckle, and pear. The attack is rather weak, with a gentle acidity, rich sweetness and a rather long finish.
It came out and won the honorable mention in the 95th Nanbu Touji Homebrew Sake Competition.
A dry sake that is typical of Japanese sake.
Went very well with spicy lotus root kinpira.
Sour! Spicy! Wasabi! and other slightly stimulating foods.
Sake that literally doesn't come around much outside of the local area.
A cost-effective classic type of summer sake with good acidity and a good kick.
I go to Mashidaya often, I just went there on Saturday. I went to Hitomi-san once.
Ikeda Sake Shop is in my neighborhood, so I go there the most.
I bought two bottles of hiyaoroshi and will post again when I drink them!
Drinking at home🎶.
I was going to buy beer at a local liquor store that I was going to visit for the first time and the lady at the store gave me a taste! She let me drink a lot 😁.
This is the cheapest and best tasting sake out of all of them 😁.
It has a delicious sweetness and the rice has a great flavor.
As the liquor store explained, it is the exact opposite of light and dry, with a rich umami taste 😋.
Good evening, Ao 😃.
They let me taste a lot! Nice liquor store 🤗I'm glad that Tochigi's local sake, which is produced and consumed locally out of the gate ‼️, is also active in the Kansai region🤗
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😁.
I stopped by the liquor store to buy beer and saw some sake and tasted it 😁 glad I did 😁.
Jay & Nobby's local sake is supposed to be out of doors but it's sold in Kansai too 😅.
Good morning, Ao!
Finally, Kyoto has been leaked 🤣.
By the way, it's amazing how many different liquor stores you patrol 😳‼️ and you never know unless you go in 😊👍
Good evening, Pon-chan.
I'm not allowed to go out of the gate, but I even came to Kyoto 🤣 The lady at this restaurant recommended it to me! The cheapest one is delicious 😁! She said 😁.
I've been patrolling around but no sake god 😰.
I came across...
I happened to find a sake brewery and even made a U-turn to buy some.
All the way back? I was complaining about it...
But it was worth it...it was delicious. It doesn't smell like sake as much as the hard jacket, and it's easy to drink.
I guess they wanted to keep it out of the gate because it tastes so good.
But still, there are many delicious sake in Tochigi, too.
