A souvenir from the other day.
Ginpu.
The umami gradually deepens from around the middle to the end.
The richness of the aftertaste has a Hokkaido feel.

The fruity peach and melon aroma and the fresh rice flavor are impressive.
It is silky and easy to drink, with a strong rice flavor in the mid-palate.
It has a subtle bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste, making it a well-balanced sake that goes well with food.
This is a continuation of the local sake meeting [Hekiunkura version].
Here is another Honjozo Tokachi available for purchase. This sake is made at a local livestock breeding university. It is an easy-drinking, refreshing and aromatic sake, not to be underestimated as a university brewery. It has a flavor suited for a mealtime drink. The spiciness of the sake may be a little too much for evening drinking, but it was perfect with the food we served that day.
The first brewing series, which has been kept in the brewery for five years, was very easy to drink as the pungency had been removed. The first pressing series was very easy to drink. The first pressing made a while ago was also very tasty, so I guess it depends on the sake. It was a valuable experience.
I attended a local sake event. Speaking of local, we enjoyed rare sake at Hekiunkura in Kamikawa Taisetsu. It was a great and luxurious time. Checking in with only what I was interested in what was available for purchase.
Here's one you definitely can't miss.
Tokachi with cheese.
It is a delicious sake that was designed to accompany cheese. It is a refreshing sake, but the mellowness of the umami flavor is unmistakable and goes well with cheese. I think it is definitely better as a food sake than as a stand-alone drink. If you come to Tokachi, you should try this sake.
Good news Simosa, hello 🐦.
They are all from Kamigawa Taisetsu 😳I see you have such a variety of sake 😳I like it, but I am very jealous because it is hard to find regular ones here too 😊.
I had an image of Hokkaido sake as a food sake that goes well with fresh sashimi, but this sake was a beautiful sweet sake!
It has a slight gassy taste, and the change in temperature smoothes out the flavor so you don't get tired of drinking it 😊♪

Tokachi with Cheese Yellow
(Yellow sticker on the far right 🟡)
It is said to be a sake 🧀 to be paired with cheese, which was perfect for me as I prefer sour-sweet sake 😋.
It was a sake day, and the couple had planned to take the afternoon off for a while, so we entered the "go-around"! (2/3)
This is the third of six restaurants we visited.
Hokkaido Fresh Fish and Charcoal Robata Yaki Furea x Kamikawa Taisetsu (Hokkaido)
It is modern with a gorgeous aroma and a mouthfeel that is full of sweetness and acidity, but the second half of the bottle has a strong Junmai sake-like feel.
The rice flavor can be fully felt, but it is not heavy and has a moderate aftertaste.
You can drink it while imagining the land of Hokkaido.
