Kariho, Horizon Blue
Is this one bitter too? I thought it was a summer sake and expected it to be refreshing, but...
I thought it would be sweet when combined with miso!
This is the sake I received. I thought, "Ah, I like acidic sake," and upon reading the label, it seemed to be a sake that focused on acidity. It was delicious both cold and room temperature.
The aroma is subtle, yet has a core that penetrates deep into the nose. On the palate, one senses a rounded sweetness. The complex flavor is hidden deep within, perhaps due to the combination of six different types of rice?
The aftertaste is clean and does not linger. The end leaves a slightly peculiar flavor in the mouth. It is somewhat similar to rice crackers.
At first, I thought the taste might be too strong, but the overall impression is very gentle.
It is a very interesting taste that I have not had much of before, and I want to savor it in my mouth.
And the label is very beautiful ✨.
Family trip today to Kakunodate's samurai house street and Lake Tazawa. On our second night in Daisen City, which is famous for its sake, we finally made it to the Suzuki Sake Brewery in Hidariyoshi in the evening. At the direct sales counter, we were politely served by the next female owner of the brewery, and were allowed to sample some of their sake. I wanted a lot of things, but I bought a bottle of Tokujun Issho and a cup of sake.
We had dinner at the same inn as yesterday. Today we had Kariho Sandesi Jungin 🍶.
It has a fresh ginjo aroma, very beautiful light dry taste with a little acidity body, and it's so refreshing and delicious. 😋😋😋😋
This is the first Kariho I've ever had.
Jungin 55 polished.
I asked which one was the one from yesterday, which I felt had a matured taste, and they told me it was the January 2025 BY.
Oh wow. This is certainly fresh 😊.

Tomorrow is the last day of our trip, we are going home 🚗.
Good evening, Pitama!
Kakunodate's samurai residence is also a memorable place we stopped by on our honeymoon 😁✨.
You enjoyed your sake activities and sightseeing 🎵.
Congratulations on your first Kariho 🎉!
I haven't had Kariho yet, so I'll have to try it someday 😋.
Hello T.KISO 😃
I went around a lot 🚗💪.
I felt the scenery of rice paddies and mountains ⛰️🌾 to the fullest. The next day, on my way home, I was able to stop by the Kuribayashi Sake Brewery, so I was able to enjoy some sake 🙆♂️Akita is also a great place with a great selection of sake 🙌
Good evening, ma-ki😄 Kakunodate is a quaint and atmospheric place.
Kakunodate was also a quaint and atmospheric place. Kakunodate was also quaint and atmospheric and not too crowded for that. 🙆♂️
Kariho was delicious, and I also had my first taste of Hideshoshi and Haruka, all delicious sakes. Japan really has some great sake 😋.
