I'm sure we should drink some Hokkaido sake since we are in Hokkaido!
I'd like to try Goryo's higher spec sake next time 🍶.
The restaurant's recommendation: crab rice!
The rice was a little tough because it was taken off the heat a little too soon 😣.

Great value!
Aromatic, clean and tasty.
I felt it was similar to Niigata sake.

First impression was "Yum! It was....
The aroma is good!
Good mouthfeel!
Not too spicy and not too sweet, it seemed to be a good choice for first time sake drinkers!
It's really good!
Late night travel
I wanted to go to Hakodate, but when I called, I was told it was too difficult to go there today.
Too bad.
Strolling around the area.
There are empty sake bottles lined up in front of the restaurant, so I decided to have a quick drink here!
QR code ordering system, which is very common these days.
I asked for the Hakodate sake Goryo Junmai Ginjo from the store's recommended sake list, but for some reason there was a special Junmai?
I told them that I had ordered the wrong one, and they retracted their offer, saying that they would exchange it once, but they were out of Junmai Ginjo today. What's the price? Same price.
What can I do?
We're off to a bad start.
Goryo, nothing on the menu today with better specs.
Aroma, a little alcoholic.
Dry?
The more you drink, the more you get used to it, and it becomes a nice salty taste.
We were served a few grilled dishes and left early!
The grilled skewer of Yagen cartilage was delicious 😊.

First time in Hokkaido. Our evening meal was at a restaurant recommended by the madam of the Italian restaurant where we had lunch.
We asked for a junmai sake from Hokkaido, and this Goryo was served.
It was very refreshing and a delicious sake that could be paired with a variety of dishes!
We had it with 5 pieces of sashimi 😋.
Thank you madam 😊.
Delicious sake that is best served in an almost room temperature zone
sake that tastes best at room temperature
It doesn't taste much better when it's chilled.
Stored at about 15 degrees Celsius, so it's probably best at about 15 degrees Celsius
📍 small crack
Cold Sake ★★★★
The aroma is relatively mild. The tanginess is felt on the tongue, with bitterness and acidity at first, followed by sweetness. The lingering aftertaste is clean and the umami of the rice can also be felt.
