#Hakkoda #Special Junmai Sake #Hanafukiyuki #Polishing ratio 55
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 ♨️.
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.
