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)!
Starts work today: 😮💨
I know it's a bit depressing, but I thought I'd clear my head a little...
I'll post the drinks I had last year 🫡.
December 2024, year-end party of my company 🥳 at a Chinese restaurant.

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!
I would like to record the Kusudama I drank before.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo made by in-house rice polishing Hindahomare up to 40% and strictly treated with water from the underground streams of the North Alps!
It was very tasty, with a clean ginjo aroma and a firm flavor.
