Today, Otokoyama and Drunken Whale. Cute Junmai sake with a penguin label. It is crisp and refreshing with a low sweetness. We are having it with Italian salad with beef, shrimp mayo, and fried chicken 😋.
I didn't have a good image of Otokoyama.
Mellow and easy to drink
There are no weird habits, so it's good.

Arrived in Kushiro from Abashiri by late train.
The wind is strong and the temperature is quite low.
But I decided to go to the city for a while.
YOSUGA was full 🈵.
Then let's go to this place we stopped by two years ago 💁.
It was the last order time, so we only had an hour ⏳.
First time to try Otokoyama, Asahikawa's famous sake, pressed in the morning of Risshun.
It's so good!
The aroma is great and the taste is fruity!
The sharpness is also outstanding!
I drank it with some appetizers and chashu mai (fried pork dumplings).

Miscellaneous impressions
I mentioned that I am trying to conquer the sake of each of the 47 prefectures in Japan! When I mentioned this, I received a bottle from Hokkaido as a gift.
It was crisp, dry, and sharp, and I felt the taste of the land of Hokkaido.
