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 ♨️.
Hakkouda Oroshi Daiginjo Directly Pumped Raw Sake (Aomori)
This is a gift. It is the thing which my hand came out of. It is a product of Hato Masamune in Towada City. The umami, acidity, and sweetness are all rich, and it's a daiginjo-like sake. Rather than being neat, it has a bit of complexity with a hint of bitterness. It has a high alcohol content of 17 degrees, so it packs a punch. I think it tastes best when it's heated up rather than cold.
Aomori uses the name Hakkouda for many things. I once worked at the prefectural Hakkouda High School, which was closed a long time ago.
With a set of sake from Aomori.
First of all, the clarity in the glass is beautiful. The mouthfeel is smooth and mellow, and it's good. The aroma and sweetness is slight.
I made it lukewarm in the middle of the drink to test it out. I just didn't like this one as much...
