Before the evening party, we came for lunch too, Fukurokuju!
I wanted to congratulate you on your 8th anniversary first.
I delivered the congratulations and had a pre-meeting for the evening party.
The manager told us that this was included in the package and that he would serve it to us.
It is said to be a rare sake again this year!
Fukurokuju-san got one of the three bottles of this sake that the liquor store had only three bottles of this time!
The guests were all raving about it!
It seems that everyone liked the dry type ❤️
Sea bream shinjo topped with XO shoyu!
Delicious!
Since we were having an evening party, I had a special half of a seafood rice bowl made by itself for lunch!
I'm going to hold off on the booze for lunch and get ready for the night.
extensive knowledge
Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius
Sake degree +3.5
Acidity 1.3
Rice used: 100% Hokkaido Ginpu rice
Polishing ratio 60
BY2023 and 2024, double sipped. We had a very luxurious drinking comparison.
The 24 is fruity and sweet from the rice, with a touch of spiciness and bitterness. The flavors are mild, but each has a distinct taste.
23 has a mild aroma, but a soft umami and sweetness. It has a gentle aftertaste. The whole is well rounded.
It was a moving experience.
Thank you, proprietress!
The other day, a local marathon was held and there was a BBQ and other activities to celebrate the event, and I helped with the entertainment and set up the venue. 🏃♂️💨
The helpers were allowed to drink as well, so we drank 🍶, and of course we drank 🍶, and the drink was "Kitanokatsu" ❗The familiar and stable taste 😋.
The runner I was with was competing from Fukuoka 😲 amazing 😉.
Good evening, Mr. King of Noodles and Sake😊.
Oumi is very tasty, isn't it?
I personally think it's great especially for sushi and sashimi!
I'm tempted to drink it when I see it 🤣.
Good morning, Miyabi 😃.
As a native of the Nemuro region, I'm very happy to hear your compliments about Oumi 😌.
As you said, it goes great with seafood 🎵It's a versatile sake that's cosy and tastes great cold, room temperature or heated ✨.
We went to an izakaya in town to celebrate the renewal exam. I wondered if they had any sake, but they had Kitanokatsu, which I had never had before. I immediately tried it for the first time. I thought it might be too spicy with a 70% rice polishing ratio, but it was surprisingly easy to drink and tasted good enough for grilled meat. There was also a bottle of Ottersai, so I was happy to compare them.
The person from Nemuro said the limited edition sake was even better, so if you have a chance, try it.
Honjozo
Alcohol: 15% abv.
Since we were in Sapporo that day, we also had a local sake.
It has a good rice aroma, richness, and crispness, although the alcohol is a bit strong.
Houou version of "Kita no Katsu" which I bought as a souvenir from East Hokkaido.
The Akitobushi Ramen I bought at Cape Nosabu was about to expire, so I decided to enjoy it with the Nemuro set!
When the bottle is opened and poured, it has a sugar cane-like aroma of brewer's alcohol.
The palate is soft, but the well-balanced full-bodied flavor of sweet and spicy tannins spreads slowly like a ripple.
The salty taste comes from the minerality. It reminds me of the sea scenery I saw at Cape Nosappu.
It is perfect for a mid-meal snack and goes well with the light soy sauce ramen noodles made with Akitagashi-bushi!
It also has a pleasant sharpness in the aftertaste, so you can't help but drink more and more 👍.
It is a bottle that is sure to go well with warmed sake as well.
I hope to enjoy it again someday with local fish in the east of Hokkaido!
Good evening, stst-san 😀It seems much softer on the palate compared to oumi 😋It's a sake that goes well with hot sake again this coming season 🍶There's also a black labeled honjozo, so be sure to give it a try ✨.
Good evening, Takku!
I couldn't tell the difference when I bought it, but now that I've tried it, I'm really impressed with the level of differentiation in taste and the level of the brewery ✨.
I'll have to go mail order, but I'll try to buy the honjozo and ginjo as well 😋.
