This bottle was drunk at the end of 2021, the zodiac sign for the year 2022 (Tiger year).
After only one bottle arrived on that day, it was an unopened bottle that no one had ordered yet, and the waiter congratulated me when serving it.
I don't remember the taste. The design is very pretty.
I also had a Daiginjo of Jikin and a Jyushiyo Ryusen with it at this time. This store in Kanagawa has a wide selection of rare sakes.
The aftertaste is not heavy, but the mouthfeel comes on quite a bit.
Subtle? Good aftertaste?
When I opened the bottle, I read something like this. To be honest, I don't remember anymore. (2024/04/12)
Hato Masamune's zodiac sign bottle
Wasn't planning on buying it, but...
The aroma is apple-like, gorgeous and sweet.
A little bit of graininess, which is typical of nama sake.
Tastes more like candy apples than apples, with a strong sugary sweetness.
There is not much acidity, so it is a little too sweet, but if you have a sweet tooth, you may find it just right.
There's a little graininess at the end, so it's not too sweet.
It's just a nice fruity sweet sake.
Hi, I'm Hato Chu🐦.
I'm Manachie, a guy who does pigeon chooing when he does crane chooing 🐦.
The aroma is a little more apple than sugar 🍎.
The mouthfeel has the darker flavor of rice and the gentle sweetness of the wasanbon type.
The bitterness that instantly erases the sweetness and the slight apple-like fruity feeling in the mouth is a refreshing feeling that cannot be imagined from the impression of the attack. ‼️
Yes, it is deliciously dry like Hato's typical ❤️
Mr. Sato, it's good again this year 😋.
I drank it with firefly squid, and Hato Chan asserts itself without interfering with the sizzling flavor of the squid. ❤️
However, the true essence of Hato is that it is not defeated by garlic🤣It goes well with a lot of garlic-covered stir-fried meat 🧄.
By the way, did you know that today is hot sandwich day? Of course, fashionable manachie made hot sandwiches and ate them in the morning 🥪.
I hope you all try making hot sandwiches to accompany your evening drinks ☝️ I don't think they go well with sake at all 🤣
Hi Manachy 😃
Dove 🐦 straight from the pump! The apple🍎feeling deliciously spicy is the best👍and the firefly squid juices 🤤 just imagine it!
Quintessential Camber! The baked rabbit is so stylish 🥳 it's sandwich day + sizzling 😁.
Hello Manachie 🐦.
Usa, I was wondering if you bought and baked this because it's so cute and it was hot sandwich day 😳 What did you put between the sandwiches? 🤔
I've been thinking about drinking Mr. Dove but haven't yet💦.
Hi Manachie.
It's a DOD hot sandwich maker😳
I have one too.
I haven't been camping lately so I haven't been able to use it 😅.
I haven't been able to use it 😅
But it doesn't go well with sake 😱.
It's not good for sake 😱.
Good evening Mr. Manachy😃.
Sandwich day 313🥪 because 3 sandwiches 1🥪 then add 10 to it and it's hot sandwich day 323....who thought of that is awesome 🙄 I think it would go well with pigeon stew depending on the ingredients😁.
Good morning, Yann 🌞This is super perfect for me as a solo bike camper because you can take the handles off so it's compact and easy to put away. ❤️ It's hard to make a sake entree 🤣.
Sake drinking party with company people 🍶 Soba noodle shop? I brought my own sake to the restaurant.
We deposited Hato Masamune that we bought in Aomori 🐦.
There were red and blue, but I went with the red label because apples are red. Green apples have a greenish image.
The aroma is gorgeous. It is fruity but without sweetness. It is fruity, but not too sweet. It is very good. I recently found a store that sells it, so I'll try to catch up with them.
Hello Mr. Manachy, Pigeon poppers are delicious. I was lucky enough to find it for sale at Keio Department Store. It's hard to buy them when they become popular, so I'm grateful that they don't go out of business (selfish consumer).
Our third bottle of Hato 🐦.
We kept passing it up at the liquor store in Chiba every time we picked it up 🤔 this time we finally brought it to you 🤗.
I'll make love to you
Mild aroma 😌.
It's a nice, refreshing and tasty Junmai sake with a nice mouthfeel and a hint of 🍎☺️
By the way, a bonus from Saturday's trip to the liquor store🤗.
Since we went all the way to Sano, we decided to eat Sano Ramen somewhere 😊I didn't check out any particular restaurant 😅I found a restaurant along the highway ‼️ and it was busy, so we waited for about 15 minutes and entered the restaurant there!
I ordered Sano Ramen and Gyoza. I ordered two plates of Gyoza because the menu said three pieces per plate. I ordered two plates of gyoza because the menu said three pieces per plate and I thought it would be too little.
I'm sure Manta-san would have had plenty of room to eat 😁We were so stuffed that we had to find room for dinner by taking a bath after our usual walk when we got home💦.
The Sano ramen was light and tasty, but I prefer the small, crispy gyoza from Utsunomiya 😌.
Jay & Nobby Mr. Dove 😄It's exactly apple 🍎It's not modern but it's delicious (^o^) and the dumplings are huge (*_*) I'm curious! It's true that small and crispy ones are good too!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌆Ahato, ahato 🐦I may have been to that ramen shop 😆 If you're looking for small crispy, Hamamatsu gyoza are quite small and great for snacks: ☝️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby! I have relatives in Utsunomiya, so I sometimes go there. I wonder if Jay & Nobby have a favorite restaurant 🤔We are mostly Masatsugu people, so we buy them when we go there. ☺️
Good evening Jay & Nobby! I know what you mean - it's the small, crispy kind after all 😆💞 I want to go back to Utsunomiya for another gyoza trip! Next time I plan to buy not only sake but also a pile of gyoza back home! LOL!
Good morning Jay & Nobby 😃.
Last week, the municipality where my wife's parents live sent 60 frozen gyoza (dumplings) as a tax payment to my hometown ✌️ I won't have a problem with gyoza for a while 😋The freezer was so full that my wife didn't like it 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
Actually, I've only had Tasake-san and Mutsu Hachisen when it comes to Aomori Prefecture, but I have the image that there are a lot of sake that don't interfere with the food😇.
I enjoy the variety of local dumplings as well 😀.
Mr. Jay & Ms. Nobby
Hello....
Hato Masamune...I kinda like...the name of it 😘I hate to say it but it sounds a bit dumbfounded or homely...😁There are many kinds of gyoza and they are delicious and enjoyable 🥰.
Hi Sashiu 😃
It's a bottle you can drink calmly 😋 I enjoyed the rest last night with warmed sake 😋 The big dumplings that I'm not used to were a surprise 😆.
Hi Manachie 😃
Hato 🐦I knew I liked the taste 😋.
It was a ramen shop named Kuriharashi!
I've never had Hamamatsu Gyoza🥟 but I'd like to go there and try it anyway🤗.
Hello, Kotaro 😃.
Oh...you come to Utsunomiya often? I see you come to Utsunomiya often👍We eat mostly Masatsugu at home too, but recently we've been addicted to Karan🥟 at the restaurant 😋Please let me know if you come to Utsunomiya 👋
Hi Jay & Nobby😄!
Some stores have both regular and large sizes 😆 If you are ever in the Sano area again, please try the 🍜&🥟 at the other stores 😉⭐︎
Dove🐦, I may not be drinking!
Jay and Nobby, good evening 🦉.
Dove🐦 I haven't been drinking at home 💦 it's a shame I'm putting it off 😅.
There are so many different types of dumplings 😳I'd love to try the small and crispy ones as well as the big ones😻
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😃.
I know 😅I was only talking about one shop, so next time I'll ask for a recommendation for a ramen shop before I go 🤗 what a surprise! Dove-chan 🐦 is Ikeda-san or Saito-san 😊.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Please bring your pigeon 🐦🐦🤗We would like to drink HANABI that comes out in the summer 😋.
Lately we have been having dumplings 🥟 a lot 😁.
The second "Masamune Shibari" cup
Hato Masamune Tokubetsu Junmai Naokkumi Habukiyuki
Citrusy aroma 🍊.
The sweet and sour taste transitions to sweet and delicious on the palate, and finally the bitterness appears and finishes off the palate.
Good morning, Comrade Manachy 😃.
Even if you are bound to Masamune, you can't miss Dove🐦chan and Gakki!
You have entertained us without betraying us this time 👍.
