This is the sake that got me hooked on sake.
It has a nostalgic sweet aroma and a deep sweetness.
A refreshing feeling after drinking.
It is a delicious sake that has both sweet and spicy flavors.
I want to keep it at home all the time.
I selected this sake at a sake shop's Hokuriku Support Fair. It was a collaboration between Noto Suehiro and Azuma Sake Brewery, both of which were affected by the earthquake. Personally, I felt some smokiness at first. The aftertaste is refreshing and seems to go well with a variety of meals. I would like to drink this sake with the hope that it will help in the recovery effort.

The aroma has a sake-like flavor. It is dry on the palate and has no sake-like character.
It lacks the richness and umami characteristic of junmai sake.
This is a future product of Azuma Sake Brewery in Komatsu and Mr. Nakajima, who was affected by the disaster in Wajima.
It has a strong acidity when drunk on its own, but when paired with tomato dishes, it is a sake that is strangely deliciously sweet and never tiring to drink.
I would like to see more of the story of Mr. Nakashima's brewery in Wajima, and I would like to see more assertion of it on the label.
It may take time, but he is still a young master brewer, so I am rooting for the revival of "Noto Suehiro" in the future.
Souvenir sake from Hokuriku trip🍶.
Slightly yellowish hue.
The aroma is subdued, but the flavor of the rice can be sensed.
The light first impression is balanced with a good acidity, and the overall taste is delicious.
