The best way to eat さて さて さて +. I bought this at a roadside station in Shirakawa-go😙. I drank it chilled. I'm sure you'll love it!

Rice used is Hidahomare This sake has a rich, dry taste that is typical of junmai sake. It is smooth on the palate, but the sense of rice spreads immediately, followed by a strong pungent and astringent taste. The aftertaste is also long and powerful. It is a sake that is very drinkable and can be served with strong dishes.

Hida Takayama, Sake Brewery Nonbei Festival The third restaurant is Hirase Sake Brewery of "Kusudama". This place is a little far from the old streets. You can see the chimney in the back, but the site looks spacious. The store inside is only for sake tasting and sales, so it is only for customers who are looking for sake. Let's take a look at the sake tasting. Well, it has a mild taste and goes down softly and smoothly. It is delicious. It's amazing that it has been in business for 400 years, isn't it?

My first sake brewery 🍶. I couldn't find a store that carried Gifu sake, so I just happened to come across it this time and bought it 😊. It has a smooth mouthfeel, but the lingering taste of rice can be felt well 👍. Easy to drink and delicious 😋.

We were allowed to taste it directly at the brewery and purchased it. The floral and slightly sweet taste is my personal favorite. The floral yeast is used and the flowery atmosphere matches me. It looks good as a gift. It also came with a choko (cup) so it was good to drink at a ryokan (Japanese inn)!

It's a pretty strong drink at 20% alcohol. I get drunk so I'm happy with the smaller size 😊. Dry but mild and very tasty!

December 2024, year-end party of my company 🥳 at a Chinese restaurant. At a Chinese restaurant. First time in 5 years a large group of people got together and had a lot of fun 🥴🥂. From the all-you-can-drink course menu Only this brand of sake 😅 Kusudama super dry 🍶 cold sake. Classic with alcohol smell.

This is the Honjozo from the Hirase Shuzo Brewery, well known for their Hida Kusudama! It is indescribably delicious when heated ❤️ They also have a red label, but I bought the white one because I heard the white label won a heated sake contest 😊. It was dry and crisp! I heard it tastes great on the rocks too... but it was cold so I just drank it all heated up 😂. I want to try it on the rocks next time!

Every year around this time, I go to Takayama to buy sake! Hirase Sake Brewery has a lot of delicious sake for tasting! I had a hard time deciding and bought a bottle of freshly squeezed raw sake.... It's sweet but refreshing and tangy...winter sake! I think Gifu's sake has a strong taste in general... When I drank it the next day, the corners were removed and it was mellowed. Delicious!
