I found it at a roadside station in Akita Prefecture and bought it as soon as I could!
It is my favorite Onogawa kijoshu!
I thought it would be very sweet because of the honey symbol, but it was much less peculiar and easier to drink than the other kijoshu I have had so far!
I was happy to drink it with sweet snacks...
The manager looks busy.
Then, as usual, I looked into the cold storage and found this red label.
Let's try it!
Onagawa Tenka's new brand "Moeba" Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Harajuku!
I was curious about this on SNS.
A little heavier than the Amahana image, with a sweet and sour taste.
Oh, a new encounter!
The dish is Tachi's Bean Paste which is available at Fukurokuju in winter!
The spiciness and sweetness of Tachi
The sweet and sourness of the sake!
It's a great night!
Talking and laughing 😆!
Kansai people are there to make fun of each other!
We forgot about time and ate and drank 🍶!

It is said that this sake goes well with cheese.
I am not sure if it goes well with cheese or not, but it was sweet and delicious anyway 🤗.
My favorite turtle tail from my favorite Onogawa!
The turtle on the label is cute too!
The bitterness of Kame-no-o comes after the unexpectedly strong sweetness and umami!
It goes well with Japanese food!
A true Tenka taste. Modest and gorgeous aroma, gentle sweetness, slight bitterness and sharpness. The sake is not as heavy as the -7 sake level, and flows smoothly. Delicious, maybe the best Tenka!

This is an autumn sake from Onogawa in the Yokote Basin, an area famous for its heavy snowfall and famous for the Kamakura Festival.
It is said that it is a single-bottle fire-brewed sake, so it is different from hiyaoroshi, or autumn sake. ......
Just from this description alone, one can imagine the deliciousness of this sake.
It has a refreshing acidity, and when you take a sip of it, the aroma and flavor spread quickly in your mouth.
It was the first autumn sake of the year ^ ^.
The aroma is clean and honeyed 🍯.
The mouthfeel has the unique flavor of ripe rice with a wonderful mellow texture 😋.
It is crisp and sharp from the mid-palate so that it does not become heavy, and finishes with a chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri-chiri bitter aftertaste. ❗️
A very satisfying bottle that you will want to drink slowly and deliberately. ❗️
Delicious 🤤!
