The second drink at Tensho was Harushika by Imanishi Seibei Shoten.
Super dry this time!
This sushi restaurant seems to have an unchanging lineup of sake, and this Harushika was the last one I hadn't had here, so I tried it, even though it was super dry!
Recently, we have been drinking dry sake when we go out for drinks, and all of them are delicious, so we are looking forward to this one too!
Let's start with the first sip!
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, you can feel the spiciness from the traditional sake taste, but it is also refreshing.
It has a complex flavor, and after the taste finishes, the lingering aftertaste is also refreshingly rich and pungent.
The smooth mouthfeel is a perfect match for the flavor.
Although the impression is that it is dry, when served with a meal, you can also feel a deep sweetness, and this time it was again a super dry wine that was delicious!
Good morning, ma-ki-, and happy birthday to your wife. It's just wonderful to be able to celebrate at your favorite restaurant👍Harushika, it's hard to find a dry one, but it's a brand I would like to taste: ☺️
Thank you, Afio!
You used to drink it before 🤗.
It's really easy to drink despite the name "super dry" 😋.
As you said, it goes great with food, and both food and alcohol went well with it 😁✨.
Thank you, Mr. Studying!
It was a blissful day enjoying what my wife wanted to eat and do 😁✨✨.
I usually prefer sweet and savory dishes, but I've encountered a lot of them while out drinking 😋.
If you have a chance, please give it a try 😋😋!
The Junmai Ginjo Blue Label🦌 from Harushika is refreshing to look at.
In Nara, you can buy it in supermarkets: ☝️
It is more subdued than other Harushika, but light, mellow and easy to drink 😋.
It has a sake level of -3, but it's almost neutral and recommended as a food sake 🙂.
TYPE-B from Sake Brewery MARCHE
This sake has a fruity acidity 🍶.
It is also delicious with a gentle sweetness 😋.
We ordered 2 bottles each of A and B 🤭.
You were right 🍀.
Super dry
There are no strange peculiarities, so it is easy to match, but those who want to enjoy sweetness and aroma may not like it.
It seems to go well with dishes with a strong saltiness, dark flavors such as teriyaki, or sweet flavors such as ray fillet.
I drink every year 🦌 summer sake 😋 from Harushika 🦌.
It feels like summer when this one comes out.
It has just the right amount of sharpness and richness, and the acidity from the sake brewing process is pleasant 😆.
The label may look crazy, but it's refreshing and drinkable, and I love it 🥰.
The fire-brewed version of this is Akano-Oki Zan👹, but I haven't had it yet, so I'll have to try it this year 😙!

This is the back label of the extra item: 🏷️
Sweetness and umami in the center with a hint of sourness 🤔.
The most noticeable thing is the firm umami, and the sweetness is walnut sweetness.
It's not fruity 🍉.
It feels more like a classic in total, but I think it's closer to a modernized version of a classic 🤗.
