Sake from Iwate, which came to us as part of a hometown tax payment.
It is said to be a commemorative sake for the reconstruction of Miyako after the earthquake.
It is a dry type, firm and dark, with a little sourness.
It was a set of two bottles, so it would have been nice to compare them together, but as expected, opening two bottles by myself was too much to drink.
Tonight we had #Senryo Otokoyama Jungin Yunokou from #Hishiya Sake Brewery in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, as yesterday.
I had teriyaki mitsu for dinner, but it didn't go well with the gentle sweetness of this sake at all...
The best match was sauteed spinach and shimeji mushrooms with smoked cheese. And the best match was takuan (pickled radish) with ume vinegar.
Tonight I had Iwate sake for the first time in a while. I had #Senryo Otokoyama Dry Honjozo from #Hishiya Sake Brewery in Miyako City with hand-rolled sushi for dinner.
It has almost no aroma and does not spoil the sushi, but the delicious rice flavor matches the vinegared rice. It has a nice sharpness that makes both the meal and the sake more enjoyable.
I ate raw fish for the first time in a while today, so I think I ate a little too much rather than drank too much.
Today, I would like to share with you a sake from my hometown tax return.
Originally, I started "Sake-no-wa" as a reminder for myself.
But I got curious about the blank space on the map of Japan, so I paid tax to Iwate prefecture.
Senryo Otokoyama, so called "dry". Otokoyama...it tastes like a man.
Sake from Miyako.
I remember I took the Sanriku Railway from Miyako to Kuji once, before the earthquake.
The taste is quite robust. A good honjozo, a good honjozo is a good honjozo. The mellow flavor and the sweetness are very well matched. Very easy to drink, a daily accompaniment.
This is the third bottle of the 400th One-Cup One-Pack Festival. Otokoyama Series No.8
GW 4 days 3 nights with wife, 1,500km round trip🤣
We went on a Sanriku car trip 🙂.
We stayed one night near Sendai and went to Sanriku.
We had an ume (sea urchin) lunch box at Kuji station, and spent the second night in Miyako.

Today we had fresh and delicious seafood dinner at
Today, the restaurant was run by a pleasant elderly couple, who were basically just a customer with a reservation, but they were happy to help us at the counter.
Sugi-san (...omega...no...no...) Concha♪
Jodogahama🌊.
The food looks delicious 🤤.
Please come again ♡♡♡!
The Noda salt soft 🍦 near Kuji station is delicious❣️.
Erin♪ Good evening! I would like to go back to Sanriku 😊I love to drive my car and my wife drives too but 1,500km round trip was quite far 😊Next time 🚄🛩I will think about a relaxed rental car plan 🤣🤣.
It is strong and dark. It has a grain-derived aroma combined with the typical aroma of unpasteurized sake. The aftertaste is strong, but doesn't linger as long as I expected.
On the second day, the taste became much better.

Personal preference ★★☆☆☆
I finished a bottle of the moon after the rain, so I opened an additional bottle (lol).
This is one of the few brands from Iwate that I have never drunk.
The aroma is...twitchy? 😅
It reminds me of the Shinigami I drank at the off-line party 😱.
I don't feel like a ginjo-shu 😅.
The taste is also heavy and solid.
The taste is also heavy and dense, like a mixture of different flavors.
A complex taste that is hard to describe😅.
Haruei Chichi, hello here too😃.
I don't drink this brand much either.
I don't drink this brand very often, and it was stored in a delicate condition, so it could have deteriorated😅.
The Grim Reaper is a great repeat 😮.

We went to Miyako to buy sake. Every souvenir shop around Miyako had this sake, so we bought it. We bought two bottles to support the reconstruction.
I opened the bottle at home and took a sip.
Mmmm, it's not very good from the aroma.
When I put it in my mouth, it has a strong alcohol feeling. It's a junmai-shu, but there's a lot of extra flavor. It doesn't go as far as hine, but it's close.
It's dry, but the alcohol is rough. The alcohol content is high at 16 to 17 degrees, but if that's the case, it would be better to keep it at 14 to 15.
If you are wondering how to make it taste good, you should eat it with oil. Yes, it's not so bad, or you can cheat it.
The next step is to heat it up. Oh, so this is the smart way to drink it. It's like fugu fillet sake without the fugu fillets. You have to enjoy it this way.
I looked it up on the internet, and the brewery seems to be recommending this product, which I find a bit unreliable.
I would like to see the brewery rethink the way it makes its products and help the Tohoku region recover as well as the brewery prosper. Below 3☆.

The first Sanriku Railway from Miyako, moving.
Drinking Sanriku sake in the train...
When you take a sip, the sweetness spreads, but it doesn't linger in your mouth, and it gives the impression of being light.
Also, the aroma is more than the taste, which is a little surprising to me since I'm used to pure rice sake.
However, it would be great with some snacks.
I enjoy drinking in a slow car with only one passenger in the morning.
It's a great feeling, but since it's the first thing in the morning, I'll start modestly.
Mr. Manachie, that's right. I'm a grown man, but I was excited about the Pokemon train. Moreover, it must be difficult for the railway company to keep the train empty, but for me, it was an environment where I could drink iron without worrying about being seen, and it was an extremely luxurious time.
Thank you for your comment, Haruei Chichi 😊.
Yes, it is. Do you envy yourself? Longing for? Sanriku's drinking iron. It was a nice view and a good drink.
