I've been drinking nigori recently and wanted to try a dry sake.
I had never heard of it, but a local liquor store recommended it to me and I bought it on the spot. ✌️
It went well with Osechi (New Year's dishes) 🤗.
The New Year-like label is also 👍!
The third drink.
This is the first time I've had it. Fruity aroma and a refreshing taste despite the origami. It's delicious 👍I'll keep an eye out for it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Smooth and round, with the gentle sweetness of white grapes and low acidity, it goes down smoothly. The corkage is slight, but accents the bitterness. 😋
A gentle and kind beautiful sake. The label is also nice. 🐈️🐈️
I was exhausted after my first 30k jog in a long time in strong winds, but I limped to get it at Ito Sake Shop in Rakurakudai.
We finished with three kinds of sake on this day, too.
The manager brought a bottle of Hishiko Orikarami!
I used to drink this at Fukurokuju-san during this season!
The rice polishing ratio was 45% in 2021, but last year and this year, it was changed to 50% without our knowledge, even though it calls itself "jun-dai"!
Here is another one!
It has a big "shuwa shuwa" feeling!
Just the right amount of "orikara" (dryness).
It also has the freshness of new sake!
We had a second helping of this one.
Surprisingly, we drank less sake than the other day!
There were some more sakes I wanted to try, but let's call it a night!
It was snowing so hard that I was worried about walking on the snow-covered roads.
Let's keep the taci spring rolls as a souvenir and eat them at the hotel tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the service 🤭.
I promised to serve the sake I got in Morioka as a New Year's gift to the guests after the New Year.
(We visited Fukurokuju again for lunch to check out the sake selection and to secure a table.)

Thanks for your time. Here it is tonight.
In the Heisei era, I drank Mine-no-Hakubai the most among the three Niigata plums, but this is the first time for me to drink Hishiko. The mild aroma is pleasant in a refreshing way. The label is nice.

After enjoying the hot spring atmosphere at Sangayu Onsen♨️ element, have a drink here 🍶😊 in preparation for work tomorrow.
Let's get right to it. The nose has a very clear acidity. The moment you take it into your mouth, it has a dry feeling in the beautiful mouthfeel, but with a hint of rice sweetness, it spreads a clear sake-like umami flavor.
Serve it with sardines with mirin dried rice wine. The unique flavor of blue fish combined with the crispness of this sake makes it even more delicious. It has a different taste from the sweet and tasty type 👍.

We are going to try "Seri nabe" 🎉🎉!
This is my first time this season.
I started coming to Sendai about 3 years ago.
There are many delicious foods in this area, but this is one of my favorites.
Here is the sake that came along with it 😳
It has a sweet taste but also has a sharpness to it.
Hinai chicken soup with duck stock 🦆.
The crispy root of Japanese parsley, seri nabe is delicious!
