(˶◜˶◝˶)🍶🍶🍶🍶 We opened our first bottle of Sun today 😋. The aroma is gorgeous 😊. The taste is slightly dry with a gentle umami and sweetness that is balanced just right 🤔The crisp mouthfeel makes me want to drink it over and over again 🥰. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed with something to eat or on its own 🥳.

(沒沒沒) ❣🍶🍶🍶🍶 Purchases from my trip to Tohoku 😀 I found a cup at Maxvalue in Yamagata prefecture that looks exactly like Kikuyu's 👀🤣I wanted a limited edition Daiginjo, but I got this one 😁It's a Hatsusun Honjozo 😇. The alcohol content is 16 degrees, so it's more gentle than the original 😊Alcoholic aroma, sourness and umami 😚After the rich umami and a hint of sweetness, it has a clean aftertaste from the aluzoe 😇This is a delicious sake 🥳.

It is dry, but has a mellow, yogurt-like flavor that is typical of sake brewing. It is refreshing when it goes down to the belly. There is no sticky heaviness of old sake!

Sake from Sakata, a town I have loved since I traveled there a long time ago. Hatsuson's "Kansubaru🍶." As the name suggests, it is a clear sake like the night sky in winter. Both the aroma and flavor are clear, and the umami and acidity are very well balanced. I paired it with mackerel puffer fish and yokowa fish tataki. The best marriage 😋‼︎
