I bought a bottle on my way back from climbing a mountain in Hakodate. It is a brand that is hard to find in the Kanto area, and it is a new sake brewery, having been established in 2020. Despite its modern label, it tastes more like a classic sake, with a strong flavor of rice.
Sake series brought back from Hokkaido, Part 3
Freshly opened.
It was different from the one we drank at the brewery, a little younger.
The aroma is not brown sugar, but sweet like a flower.
The rice is full and delicious with the aroma.
Surprisingly, it has a long, lingering aftertaste.
When it ends, there is a sense of rice flavor and a floral aroma.
This was the most popular sake among everyone.
The taste of different sake rice is completely different, but it was delicious.
I wish it would land in the Kanto area.
At the sake brewery's tasting
Thankfully, almost all the varieties for free.
▼ Comet
Herbal green aroma with brown sugar-like sweetness.
The raw sake was more floral and flowery.
Both have good rice and pleasant sweetness.
▼ Kitashizuku
Refreshing aroma like ramune.
Delicious light graininess.
▼Ginpu
Fresh aroma of grape and muscat. Fresh aroma.
Refreshing acidity, a little spicy. Wine-like.

I like this one, but I don't remember what it is.
I don't want to make detailed comments because it is a tasting.
After much worrying, we decided to welcome Comet.
It is more delicious than I expected and I hope it will spread in the future.
It is dry with strong umami and acidity.
The acidity dissipates quickly, but the umami lingers for a long time, making it drinkable even if you don't like strong acidic sake.
It was marketed as a food sake, but it seems to go well with practically any food.
Adult school trips!
The second day is also full of events!
We went to Sakuramoto Shoten, Chitosekuru brewery, Raccoon Nijo Sake Festival, and Sapporo Beer Museum to engage in sake activities 🤣👍.
First time at the Sake Festival ✨!
Fruity aroma and slight sweetness, but with a clean taste 😋.
I don't have a picture, but the tempura of gyoja garlic and albacore was too good to resist 🤩!
Too bad the gochu would have been even better if it had been cold😅.
It was very hot in Sapporo that day, so the sake was quite warm 🙄.
In the evening, we had Genghis Khan 🐑🔥.
It was delicious and had no smell at all 😋😋.
Around the time that Craft Sake Week was being held in Guiloppon, there was also a grand sake event in Possalo.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that this was the main event of the trip. Its name is the Raccoon Nijo Sake Festival. It is a large gathering of sake breweries in Hokkaido. The person who served us was a dispatched staff member, and there was no one who looked like a sake brewer.
The first Goho sake was not cold. I would like to see improvement in this area. Beer is better because of the nice weather. So, zangi and beer 🍺 were my lunch. Gyoja garlic was also delicious.
I learned how to pour a good beer, had some whisky from Yoichi distillery, and had some ramen from Sumire, so I was satisfied.
I will be the King of Noodles and Sake! I was surprised to see that there were two "Noodle and Sake Kings" in the group. I wonder if the fake one made it on the plane?
Good evening, Nochi-san!
There was a fierce guy who was having morning rah the morning after eating Sumire!
He also drank a lot of sake, and I'm not sure which one of us is the Noodle and Sake King 🤣.
Good evening, kino. I think the King of Fake Noodles and Sake enjoyed it the most 😄 I laughed when he said "My stomach is not good enough" on the 3rd day. I guess that's true 😆.
Checking in to Hokkaido, we went to the Goho Sake Brewery...
I was very impressed with the tasting.
Fruity and very nice aroma, yet easy to drink and refreshing.
The sake seal book also made its debut: ✌🏻
Kameda-gun, Hokkaido...a place name I had never heard of before
Sake brewed with locally produced comets by a sake brewery in a town adjacent to Hakodate.
Junmai sake with a refreshing and clear taste, as is typical of Comet.
Good with sashimi!
