Aomori Hato-Masamune
@Hakkouda Resort Hotel
I often drink popular famous junmai sake,
I dared to try a local brew.
The fruity and sharpness of brewed sake is fresh.
fresh and fruity with a sharpness of brewed sake.
Good with Aomori salmon sashimi!
Fifth Aomori souvenir
The top aroma is modest but sweet ginjo aroma. In the mouth, the gentle sweetness and richness of the rice is broken up by a bitter taste. It also has a full, sweet overtone.
Compared to the Hakkouda Oroshi sake we bought at Shin-Aomori station on our way back from a trip to Aomori, the bitterness of the Hakkouda Oroshi sake made it seem less sweet. It is sweet enough, though.
Personally, I prefer a sweeter aftertaste, so I think I prefer the cup sake 🍶🕊.
(PS) I paired it with a hot spring bun I got as a souvenir and it went well with it. It is a new discovery 🍶.
At the end of my trip to Aomori, I found a cup of Hakkouda Oroshi Daiginjo sake at a store in Shin-Aomori station.
I immediately bought it to drink slowly on the bullet train on my way home.
The top aroma was mild, but in the mouth it had a gentle sweetness and richness with a full, sweet aroma of rice.
It is alky but not alcoholic, so it was delicious.
I like Hato Masamune a lot.
It has been quite a while since it was opened.
But it is fruity like a daiginjo and has a moderate umami... It is a sake with a clean aftertaste that you will not dislike.

This was given to me as a souvenir from a visit to Hakkouda Mt.
It was labeled "super dry + 10", which I probably wouldn't buy for myself since I like fruity sake.
But when I chilled it and drank it, I found that the dry version is also good!
Great with sashimi, fried food, etc.!
I can drink fruity type without accompaniments, but sometimes dry type is good with accompaniments.
I tried it lukewarm, and it warmed me to the core in this cold season!
Tasake, Hatsusen, Aomori's sake is really good! Akita and Iwate are also good!
I've never been to Tohoku, maybe I should take a trip there!
Recommendation
I haven't been to Tohoku yet, so I think I'll take a trip there.
It was also given to us by a seafood group in Aomori Prefecture.
The sake was +5 on the sake scale. It had a clean taste, but it lacked a fruity quality compared to Tasake.
This is fine, but when the Tasake is next to it, it is...
I went on a business trip to Aomori the other day and brought this as a souvenir.
I vaguely matched it with squid or tuna.
I thought it was probably a local luxury sake.
It was a very tasty and elegant sake.
Sake rice: 100% Hanabuki Snow, 60% polished rice
The label is still there, so I'm pretty sure I bought it for home use, but the alcohol content is so tattered I can't read it.
From October 2016 to the end of January 2017, I received various sakes for year-end parties, farewell parties, New Year's parties, and for home use.
Also, there are some alcoholic beverages that I have kept the labels, but I cannot identify the date of purchase and the date of drinking. So we have set the date we drank it as 01/01/2017.
This is a light, dry type of sake.
The ginjo aroma is gorgeous, but it is also a little subdued, giving a refreshing feeling.
The sake itself is as clear as melted snow and has a crisp throat. It's one of my favorites, partly because the taste is similar to that of "Akagisan"!
I would like to visit Sangayu Onsen again sometime ♨️.
