This year again, freshly squeezed sake arrived. The bottle was opened immediately. No lees settling, just a hazy, beautifully veiled sake. It is fresh and dripping juicy, sweet and green, smooth but even thick already. I always think that Hatsukame has half the flavor of water.
I was on a trip to Shizuoka and bought a local brand. At first I detected a ginjo aroma, but the aroma was not so strong, and I think it tasted like a food sake.
Refreshing aroma with sourness
Smooth mouthfeel with acidity and alcohol
Sourness is rather strong.
Banana fruitiness and bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
It is refreshing, but juicy and drinkable.
It has a sharpness and is good as a food sake.
Good evening, it's been quite a while since I've posted, but here's your first series of turtles 🐢💁.
Hatsukame Junmai Ginjo Tojo Yamadanishiki Hiiri 2025BY✨🐢.
The oldest sake brewery in Shizuoka, O-Kame 🐢.
I'm still not back to full strength, but I've been in the mood for alcohol cleansing! I'm in a binge drinking mode 😅.
I think it is rare to use Tojo Yamadanishiki even though it is Jungin. ☺️ Sometimes I drink authentic sake. The aroma is not flashy, but it is mainly a mild chemi aroma with a weak banana aroma.
The taste is also very soft, with a pleasant attack of rice sweetness and acidity that is suitable for a mid-meal drink, followed by a soft spread of rich umami 😋🤤😋😋.
The dryness of the aftertaste is also exquisitely good 😊.

Good evening 😊 It was good that I disinfected myself with alcohol, but after that, I had a lot of drinking parties at times, and my health is back to normal, so my return to drinking activity is delayed 😅.
