At home. This is the first time I've had sake from Hokkaido. I thought that Hokkaido's sake was more alcoholic, but it was completely different. You can feel the sweetness of the rice, and there is a bitter taste at the end. It is a refreshing type and very easy to drink. We received a lot of sake from Hokkaido, so we will try to taste and upload it little by little.

A Drink to Remember Series (5) In the early summer of 2015, I planned to take my car on a ferry to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, and when I arrived safely in Wakkanai, I had a drink at a yakitori restaurant for the first time in my life 🍶. The memory reminds me of the faint muscat-like aroma and sharp sharp sharpness 😋. The beauty of the label with the brand name, the wish behind the name "Fuyu Hanabi", and the taste of the local sake when you drink it on a trip...it was one of the reasons I became a sake lover 🎵. I still see it at Sake-no-wa from time to time, so I couldn't help but fish it out from old photos 😆. By the way, the picture was taken when I drank it with my family at the New Year's celebration after I returned from my trip. The other bottle in the picture, "Yukikirara", will be introduced another time ✨😉👍️

This is Kitanoshiki Houmon Honjozo. It is a little dry sake, but you can feel the sweetness. It is a delicious sake.

A limited edition sake for the April festival, it is calm and mellow, with a slight acidity that gives it a refreshing taste, but a full-bodied umami comes through.

National Sake Fair 2025 part72 Hokkaido (3) Kobayashi Sake Brewery in Kuriyama-cho Kuriyama-cho is where Director Kuriyama moved to? Polishing ratio 50%, Ginpu 16%, Sake degree +6, Acidity 1.5, 2068 yen Sake with a strong rice flavor and a refreshing taste. I thought it was similar to "Kinpidake". There is also an unfiltered raw sake version, so I'm interested in that too 🤔. I forgot to take a picture 💦.

The second glass was the restaurant's original special junmai sake. It tasted light but mellow and went well with the sea urchin. And what's more, each and every sea urchin dish at this restaurant was the best 😆. I would like to go back to this restaurant again! Hakodate is a long way away though lol
