A drink at Ukyo's on the way home from the hospital
green apple
Mellow, sweet and delicious
Mellow aftertaste
I was worried that it might not go well with Nakatoro
Delicious, bringing out the flavor of the rice
At Satsuma
Since my last visit during the heavy snowfall
I made a reservation before visiting.
It was the first day of the new year, and the place was crowded!
The manager remembered us from the last time we were here when it was snowing heavily.
He told us to take our time and let's make it an hour tonight.
First of all, I found my favorite Heki-ban!
I had a drink at Obihiro last time!
Let's start with this: ▶️
Maybe it's because there wasn't much left.
No pineapple taste as usual.
A little bit of bitterness at the end.
But that's okay.
Fried food for starters!
There are many things to enjoy today, so let's keep drinking 🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶🍶.

Good aroma like gorgeous ripe melon 🍈.
Melon-like sweetness that seems to well up from the crispness of the mouthfeel 🤤.
Excellent balance of light mouthfeel, gradually spreading clean acidity and chili bitterness. ‼️
The aftertaste is clear but has a nice sharpness that gradually takes effect 😋.
It is a delicious bottle that you will never get tired of drinking 🤤🤤.
The second cup was Houou Mita.
It is clear, but has a good balance of umami and sweetness and acidity.
It was easy to drink without feeling dull, so it was consumed quickly. It made me want to drink a little more, so I would like to buy it if I can find it.
Is it not sold normally?

Ginjo aroma and sweetness
Beautiful aftertaste. Delicious. Sake rice grown by Mr. Yoshi Fujita.
Purchased at a sake store in Nasu, limited to Tochigi Prefecture.
Labeled "Yoshi" Yamadanishiki 55% 16%.
Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture. Kobayashi Sake Brewery Co.
Hououmida RESERVE ORDERS Aikoku Junmai Ginjo, bottle warmed.
I was attracted by the use of Aikoku, so I bought it. I looked at it carefully and saw "RESERVE ORDERS" written on the bottle, which gave it a kind of premium feeling.
It is served cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The nose has a strong aroma of white peaches and green apples.
The mouthfeel is smooth with no clinging.
The taste is very clear with elegant acidity and fresh fruit sweetness reminiscent of peaches and green apples that gushes out on the tongue. The finish has a pungent pungency and a faint astringency that stimulates the tip of the tongue with a lingering minerality.
When opened, the wine was quite good with fruitiness. I got the impression that after a little time it started to lose some of it.
Oh, this is also delicious!
I love Tochigi with my patriotic Houou Mita 🤗💞💞.
Ingredients:Rice, Rice malt
Rice used: 100% Aikoku from Mita district

Hi Nemuchi 😃
Hi Nemuchi 😃Oh! I see you went to Kochira Bida 🤗.
We're also interested in it 🤔 but we're not sure if it's worth the 2,000 yen 😅I'm patriotic so I'm ready to buy it after reading your review: ‼️
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌛I knew you would be interested in this Houou Mita 😆 and it is still delicious 😋 I bought it with Tochigi love 💞 along with patriotism 🤣 a bit expensive but I am satisfied 😆.
I look forward to the ARAOSHI merger every time.
This time, only one bottle was available.
I wanted to buy two bottles of Yoshikawa and Tojo, but gave up due to space limitations.
We will be able to enjoy it for a while.
Houou Mita, Heki-ban is new to me ✨.
It's delicious with a strong sweetness and umami 😆.
My daughter, who is back home for spring break, is drinking it with me, so the four-pack is gone in no time 🤣.

Impression Fruity umami type
From the aroma, the fruit aroma and rice aroma are both well perceived.
The taste is well-balanced, with neither too much sugar nor too much acidity. It is delicious on its own as it has a certain amount of umami. It can also be served heated.
Personally, I prefer the flavor of koji to be less pronounced.
