Unfortunately, I could not find any great sake in Iwate Prefecture during my summer trip!
On this day, Noie-san had Akabu and Hiroki, so let's drink Hiroki!
After all, I had it last year around this time!
It might be good with hot sake!

I went to Iwate and Akita for a summer trip!
On the way from Hanamaki Airport to Nyuto Onsen (hot springs), we stopped by the Shiwa Brewery for a little Purple Air ✨.
So I stopped by and bought some!
It was a summer sake, so it had a refreshing taste.
It was a summer sake, so it had a refreshing taste, but it had a lot of umami at the end!
We had reserved a tour of the brewery by phone in advance, and the president of the brewery gave us a tour of the brewery in a very homey atmosphere.
We had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things from him!
The owner was also a nice and handsome man.
I was expecting it to be cooler in Tohoku, but it was hot as usual in Iwate.
Until about 5 years ago, it used to be cool in summer.
That's why they don't have air conditioners in their warehouses.

And it's like a pun...
This is a very limited edition product that is completely made to order only once a year.
Junmai Ginjo brewed with Iwate sake rice "Ginotome" is bottled the same day it is squeezed. It is a very limited edition sake that is completely handcrafted by all the brewery workers and employees.
The super-fresh, freshly squeezed flavor was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were very grateful for the sake.
