Purchased with fish at a certain fish supermarket originating in Niigata Prefecture
Not a label I've seen much of.
The taste is slightly sweet with a beautiful daiginjo-like flavor and ginjo aroma.
Delicious!
My colleague is going to a sake brewery.

Asakai Honjozo Iwate Green
Mellow, dry, refreshing
It is easier to drink if it is heated up hot, as the alcohol smell rounds out and the flavor is more pleasant.
We changed banks and went back to the standing bar.
It has a sharp ginjo aroma.
It is light and sweet, but also has a dry taste.
It has a crisp and refreshing taste.
We paired it with ray fins.
Found at Hankyu Oasis
Local stores don't have fresh sake that needs to be refrigerated, so I thought to myself, "Sannomiya is the place to be!
The label is black if you don't use flash.
Black malted rice is used. Not as sour as white malted rice sake, but it has a strong acidity and a slightly habitual, dark sweet/umami taste. Pineapple-like nuance in the latter half. A little too much flavor 🤔.
It tastes a little too strong or you will get tired of drinking it.
So it's hard if you don't drink it in small quantities😅.
After the second day, the taste is so strong that it's like a stag party😅
I think it might be 🫶🤔
Good morning, I'm looking forward to seeing you again! 🙋
Obon has begun.
This year, we had clear skies and a lack of water.
Last year and the year before, we had heavy rains and could not even visit the graves, so I think the weather is very Obon-like.
The temperature in the mornings these days is below 20 degrees Celsius, so it is easier to sleep. 😁
Well, this time I will upload what I was drinking a while ago.
First, a local Asakai honjozo that I drank at a get-together after a meeting.
It is served as all-you-can-drink sake, but it is clean and easy to drink without any eginess.
In fact, it is completely different from the traditional honjozo fresh-stored sake. When I drank it at Mororokaku, a yakiniku (barbecue) restaurant in front of the station, it was not tasty because it had a strong eggy taste.
This is just my personal opinion, but I would choose this one if it were all-you-can-drink.
Returning home to my parents' house, I half-jacketed Asakai while the nearby supermarket was also well-stocked with sake.
Aroma: ◎, no ◎.
The sweetness of the rice can be felt on the palate. While it does not have the flamboyance of a daiginjo, it has no flaws and is just plain delicious. The sake level is probably around +/- 0, which is unusual for a sake from Iwate, and it may be a bit sweet, but it is good without any problem.
This sake was priced at less than 1500 yen for a four-pack, so I'm not sure if this is a local advantage or if I just haven't found it yet, but anyway, I'll leave this review as my own record, even though I don't think it will be of much help to the people here.
