Overnight trip by car to Hida Furukawa
Beautiful town with swimming carp, less tourists and relaxing town walking 👍.
Check in at a brewery attracted by a large cedar ball in the town
Sake lined up in a row
As expected, I got the sake sold only at the brewery!
Fruity and sweet aroma with a hint of sweetness.
Soft sweetness on the palate with a pleasant balance of acidity.
Delicious 😋.
Hi Ace, good evening. Don't you eat the finest meals? Are you a Yamamoto Kouji?
I used to be a tent person, but recently I'm afraid of bears, so I'm wondering if I should slide into staying in the car.
Good morning, Nochi-san. Zemeshi eats local buckwheat noodles for lunch. Dinner is basically cooked in the car, so we cook rice and shop at the supermarket.
There is a danger of bears🐻 at campsites too.
The nigorigo is amazing. This is my first time to drink sake while chewing. A sake that my sweet sake-loving kids will be happy to drink when they grow up. Oh, it's me.
Alcohol 16%, Rice polishing ratio 55
It has a subtle aroma of rice and umami flavor without being habitual.
It is neither too light nor too heavy.
It is the easiest to drink sake I have had recently.
9 points (wife: 8 points)
Ingredients : rice, rice malt
Rice used : Hida Hidahomare

Sizzle when opening the bottle
Slightly gassy
Slightly sweet citrusy overtone
Fruity aroma like sweet grapefruit, soft sweetness and rice flavor spreads with moderate acidity and a touch of gas, leaving a slightly bitter, sweet aftertaste that quickly fades away.
The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is pleasant, and the bitterness is moderate for an ogara-mi, making it easy to drink.
It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
It went well with pasta with seafood in tomato sauce.
Today we will be having "Hourai", top-size sake from Watanabe Sake Brewery 🍶.
Although it is alsobeye, the mouthfeel is light and easy to drink ☺️
The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is gentle with a hint of sweetness✨.
I want a little more umami, but it's good enough as a food sake ♬♬.
I love this sake, it's very easy to drink, and it's a good choice for a home drink.
I love it when I drink it at home, but for those who usually drink good sake, I have the impression that it is a little lacking 🍶.
