My first Hato Masamune.
I was surprised. It is delicious.
It is made with wine yeast.
It's low al 12 and cloudy, so it goes down easily. After drinking it, I looked at the label and noticed the words "wine yeast.
It's a white wine even though it's rice.
Not red, but white.
It has a slight oaky aroma. It's amazing.
It's wine in spite of being sake.
And it tastes almost like the white wine served at high-end Italian restaurants.
This is not good.
I'm already a fan.
The taste is shocking.
Hato Masamune Crystal of snow❄
The label is very chalet for Hato.
I drank the daiginjo version of this the other day, but this time it's junmai.
I asked chika to send it to me.
The first aroma is sweet and sour with a hint of rice.
The palate has a clear sweetness and soft acidity that is typical of Hanafukuyuki.
This is delicious 😋.
The Daiginjo we drank the other day was too hard, so we let it sit in the fridge for a while, and I wonder if that had an effect.
I want to try the Jungin one next year 🤔.
I've always wanted to try it, Dove 🐦.
Lighter in the mouth than I expected.
But it's so much better than I expected when heated up.
It's even better than I expected when heated ✨.
This is it! I really like the lingering aftertaste 😊.
chika-san, it's great warmed up! I thought it was too good to waste because it is directly pumped, but I tried it...well, I'm ashamed to admit that it is a bottle, so I can drink a lot of it😅.
Jay & Nobby, good morning 😃I think this is probably my first drink 😅I was hoping to do an oden split, but the oden was gone before I had time to do it 😁.

I was thinking that I would like to try more Hato Masamune other than those from the Hasegawa collaboration, and there it was: Hato Masamune! How about a wine yeast brewed by a genius Touji?
It's wine yeast, that's for sure. The aroma of wine, rich, sweet and vinegary, wafted through the air. After the soft and sweet brewing water, which is typical of Aomori, it is sweet! And it is not fresh, but rather a thick sweetness like bananas or grapes. However, the acidity is also reasonably strong and sharp, so it is not sticky and you will not get tired of drinking it. The astringency, which is unique to wine yeast, is also very pleasant. It is a light nigori that goes down smoothly despite its sweetness. It was very delicious. Thank you again for your hospitality this evening!
It was a collaboration sake with the president of Hasegawa Sake Shop,
Hato Masamune for the first time.
It is smooth and light on the palate,
It is a little dry with a moderate sweetness, and is easy to drink.
It is a good sake to drink with a meal. Delicious.
It was also good at room temperature.
It seems that this collaboration was done because they felt a shift change from classic to modern,
Expect to see more delicious sake in the future.
Al-soaked daiginjo from Hato Masamune 🕊️ ✨
The chic label ❄️ is so out of character!
Sweet, clear, and tasteless.
It goes down smoothly 👍
It has a nice sharpness that is typical of Aruzoe, but it has a 17% alcohol content.
It has 17% alcohol by volume, so it's dangerous if you get carried away 😅.
It is dangerous if you get carried away😅.
