My wife and I went to a nearby izakaya for dinner.
Oh, I've been out drinking three times in a row, but don't worry, they are all on different days.
I was drinking Toyobai at the restaurant when I got an e/g call, so I ran home and brought in some Souup.
This sake is one of my memories from years ago when I was shocked by how good it tasted.
The top-tasting aroma is a fluffy ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel has a clear sweetness with a firm umami flavor. The aftertaste is fruity with a hint of sake. The closing acidity and bitterness are clean and crisp.
It was not what I expected because the bottle was just opened, but I am sure it will turn into something better if it is left for a few days.
Don't torture me, I'll just say sake words on my own.
〜I prefer stockings to raw legs.
Sorry for the trilogy of leg fetish perverts!
Thank you for the treat!
The fourth glass was a brand I had never heard of before, Sou Yuu's Spring Sake.
It is a moderately sweet and gassy sake with a hint of citrus and minerality 🍶.
It was also delicious. 🙆♂️
There was also Hashu Honor!
This is a sake that is often sold at Ninoie after I had a chance to drink it at Shoei Yamagata.
Now from Junmai to Junmai Ginjo!
I like to drink them in this order after all 🫶!
A sigh of relief with fruity sake 🍶!

When I told Mr. O, the pianist, that we were going to compare the same brand, he said, "This junmai sake is delicious!
You can certainly taste the umami!
I've had Souup several times, but this junmai sake Dewa no sato was a first for me!
I've often encountered the other Hazyuu Honor.

Start of the KYUNPASS trip
3.5 hours to Shin-Aomori by Shinkansen.
The first bottle of sake is Sou Yuu's raw sake.
Melon-like aroma, soft sweetness, gentle acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste...
It's so well-balanced, isn't it?
My travel companion and I emptied it before we arrived in Sendai from Tokyo: ❗️
The mellowness in the mouth, the sense of sake that remains, but there is also a good amount of gentle sweetness that does not interfere with the meal.
Gentle and gorgeous aroma 🎆 Sweetness similar to melon with a hint of sourness
Sweetness similar to melon and slight sourness 🍈.
Fruity and pleasant to drink 🎵
Refreshing aftertaste: 👍️
I could drink again.
Hashu Honor
This time I didn't find it as sweet as usual
The other one is a brand I've never had before, so I wonder what it's like.
Heavy snowfall in the east of Hokkaido this time
It affected us a little.
I heard that Obihiro was like this.
Last time I was there, there was hardly any snow on the roads.
You can never be too careful!

This is Souup's Shizukuri Nama Sake 🍶.
It's your first time to try Sou Yuu, isn't it?
The aroma is slightly sweet with the freshness of new sake.
In the mouth, it has a clear, subtle sweetness and a full-bodied flavor.
It is a beautiful sake.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Souup Junmai Ginjo Hashu Honor 3,850 yen
On the way home from a business trip, my wife prepared delicious snacks 🤲Honmaguro tuna Nakadashita, Shirako Ponzu, yellowtail grilled with salt, fried oysters, and sea eel sushi.
The aroma is a nice ginjo aroma💜The initial attack is sweet and spicy without being assertive‼️ delicious sake‼️ but elusive, so I would say it is a safe and delicious sake💕︎ I think this is the category of a good food sake😊.
I haven't encountered it since 2022 when I first had the chance to compare three different types of Hazhu Honor at Shoei in Yamagata Prefecture!
Delicious 😋!

The aroma is light and mild.
Contains a bit of vegetable botanicals.
The texture is light and slippery, with a good acidity.
The taste is of rice with a hint of oshinshu (rice wine) flavor. It has a slightly dry and dry taste.
It goes well with the sweet soup stock of yellowtail cooked in ara-ni soup stock with a crisp texture.
Taste degree ☆3/5
