Last paid tip run of the year. I went to the liquor store to secure snacks for this evening. It was the first time to see this brand. I was attracted by the freshly squeezed sake, so I bought it.
It has a clear, refreshing taste with a slightly alcoholic flavor. It goes well with freshly caught sashimi.

Hoshi boast unfiltered raw sake!
This is the first time I've had this sake, but it comes in quickly and has a strong aftertaste. It is minus one, so it is well-balanced.
I paired it with a delicacy, salted puffer fish and pickled firefly squid.
At a sake bar in Kyoto.
I've had Kanazawa-ya from the same brewery at an outing, but this is my first time drinking it.
I had never heard of rice called "Takaneminori" before.
It has a fresh aroma with a hint of cemedine. The impression is that it fades out after a pause from the refreshing feeling, followed by a gutsy sweet flavor.
It is a new sake, but it has a strong umami.
Hello 😃
Every time I go to Gonoi, I've always wondered about buying this brand, but I've always passed on it 😅.
It's good to know that even new sake has a strong umami flavor 😋.
