Osaki City.
It is easy to drink and refreshing, and can be easily paired with light snacks as a mid-meal drink.
It is easy to drink because it has a sake-like taste, but is not cloying and does not bore the drinker.
I bought it at the liquor store in the nearest station because it was the first of the year.
The aroma was good, the taste was mild, but the throat was crisp and dry.
It was a delicious sake with a hint of sweetness from the rice.
I think I would have served it with sashimi....
By the way, I never saw it when I was in Miyagi (laugh).
- Father's Day gift from my daughter 🎁🥰 3rd bottle of the "National Drinking Comparison 7" ❣️ There was almost no aroma, a slight bitterness came on the palate and the sake was very drinkable😊Yummy👍
The first time you taste it, you will be impressed by its umami.
The richness and freshness of the umami taste comes, and it is tightened with a little spiciness.

This is a Miyagi Prefecture limited edition sake purchased at the Akiu Village Agri Forest during a trip to Miyagi Prefecture last year,
This is a collaboration between Urakasumi and Ichinokura.
Urakasumi and Ichinokura collaborated, and I heard that Saura Shuzo was in charge of 2024, while Ichinokura was in charge of the first stage of 2023. I had information about it, but could not purchase it. This is the first time to buy it.
The rice used is 100% Sasanishiki.
Polishing ratio is 60
Alcohol content is 15 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is faintly fruity.
The sake poured into the sake cup has a smooth, slightly yellowish taste.
The first sip reveals a slight rice flavor that spreads in the mouth, followed by a slightly strong acidity. The spiciness and bitterness come after that, but disappear quickly and crisply. A light, dry taste that I have been enjoying recently😍.
I heard that the 2023 ver. led by Ichinokura was full of umami.
I hope there will be a third version, but I have high expectations.

Here is the rice!
I didn't notice much aroma...
The color is a light golden brown.
The taste is very much like sake, with the bitterness coming first and then spreading to the back of the throat 😊.
I had it cold today, but I think it is best served at room temperature or hot.
It is the perfect sake for a meal 👍
Today's pairing is
Dried river clams 💕
This goes well with 👍

3️⃣Setsujaku Junon Special Junmai Sake
4️⃣Ichinozo Honjozo Dry
The rainy season has not yet started in this area, but it rained. I bought this sake for the first time. I had it with yakitori (grilled chicken), a recommended menu item that came with the bottle. The label says it is a junmai sake with a fresh aroma that spreads like a fresh green breeze and a delicious rice flavor. My impression was that it was as delicious as usual.
