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.
Sake, boats, castles...
Is there such a luxury...
The squid is wiggling in the video!
It's really the best luxury😃...
The sake and the snacks are so delicious 😋.
I feel like I'm being rewarded for all the hard work I usually put in!
Masaki Sapporo, nice to meet you!
Hakodate was really nice. ‼️
We had a great time in Hakodate!
The food was a bit expensive, but...
I was a little bit expensive, but it's just an occasional luxury, so I'm willing to forgive them.

Silent when opened
No gas feeling
Slightly apple-like top end
The same gentle fruity aroma as the first rise, soft sweetness and rice umami spread with a little acidity, and it finishes quickly with a soft bitterness.
The aroma and sweetness are both moderate, and the umami of rice can be felt, making it slightly classical, fresh and well-balanced.
It is easy to match with meals, and is of course delicious on its own.
This is amazing!
It's so thick, it's like yogurt or sweet sake,
The alcohol content is 19%, but it doesn't smell like alcohol.
It tastes great when mixed with carbonated water!
Expedition & empty sake. Opened the bottle empty with memories of the trip. It is in an aluminum can, but I posted it in the cup sake club.
It is a beautiful sake with a clear flavor that goes through the tongue easily. It is a beautiful sake with a clear flavor that passes through the tongue smoothly.
The beak that appears in the bottom of the print is a "Kumagera," a species of woodpecker that is protected as a natural monument in Hokkaido. It is a tasteful illustration.
Otokoyama seems to have a wide variety of sake cups, so I wanted to try something else. Delicious ❗️
