Purchased when I went to Shizuoka to visit my grandmother for Obon
At a local liquor store
Cold sake.
The nose is rich with banana, ripe pear and woody notes.
The palate is smooth with a gradually expanding umami flavor.
Soft acidity and sweetness gently cut through the aftertaste.

In one of the station's wine stores.
Paid tasting corner
I discovered that you can also drink several kinds of sake 🍶.
You can drink it in a second on your way home!
This time, I'll have the Hatsukame!
Just a mouthful and the aroma is fresh pineapple!
Gorgeous to drink 😊.
After the fruity sweetness, the full-bodied bitterness comes through!
Delicious!
At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Slightly fruity aroma. The taste is soft and mellow. It finishes with a crisp finish. The sake is so delicious that it makes you drink more and more.
Souvenir Sake from Shizuoka
PB sake from a liquor store in Senova, Shizuoka!
Cold sake
Muscat aroma
Light, but the umami flavor spreads afterwards.
Not very Hatsukame-like?
After a day, it has a full aroma like yellow peach.
The sweetness that lingers on the tongue comes out.
This sake is only available at Sake Brewery Ito, a distributor in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
First of all, the turtle on the label looks cute, like a hieroglyphic character 🩷.
The aroma is very fruity and the mouthfeel is very light. It has a refreshing acidity like that of a pineapple and a pleasant sweetness that is not heavy.
I had assumed that sake made with brewing alcohol would have a somewhat unpleasant taste, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. ❗️
Definitely one of the three best honjozo sakes I've ever had 🍶.
If this sake is missing from Sake Brewery Ito next weekend, the culprit will probably be me (lol)!
