Ishikawa Prefecture Kaga-no-tsuki Mikazuki Honjozo, freshly squeezed
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 19
Hazy pale crystal
Fresh, punchy rice aroma
Rice rice rice, strong alcohol, fresh spicy
First impression of the taste is quite quite firm
Sweetness with rice flavor, sharp acidity, bitterness with a strong presence.
You can taste the freshness of the freshly squeezed sake, but you can also taste the umami of the rice.
Although it is a honjozo, it wears off nicely, leaving a moderate aftertaste.
I like it, I like it!
You can feel the freshness of "Shiboritate" and taste the umami of the rice.
The alcohol content is 19 degrees and it has a punch, which I personally love!
I think it tastes great warmed up, but personally, I prefer to drink it crisp and cold.
I think it can be served with pretty much anything, but right now I'm in the mood for seared squid.
I like to eat it with mayo and soy sauce, but with this sake, I like to eat it plain.
From the toji
The toji-san said, "I put my heart into the first pressing of this sake so that you can smile after drinking it.
I was so happy to hear this message.
I was so happy!
Thank you for the delicious sake!

Kaga no Tsuki Half Moon
This is so soft ☺️
It goes over the tongue like a breeze...
It makes me feel elegant, reminiscent of Kenrokuen 😊.
I've never been there.
The subtle sweetness on the palate makes it easy to drink, yet
It refreshes my mouth dry 😋.
It goes well with sashimi and hormone nabe.

Keihan Department Store Kuzuha Mall in Hokuriku Sake Fair ④.
I have had Kaga-no-tsuki before, but I was not impressed with it and did not drink it very often.
Kaga no Tsuki: Junmai, freshly brewed with sake yeast.
He told me that this was also a rare sake here, and even though there was no tasting, he went out of his way to open a bottle for me to try it.
It has a very moist, milky, sweet and delicious flavor. The acidity is also elegant and extremely tasty.
I really like this one.
I had already bought one bottle, so I left the store to go home without buying it, but when I got to the bus stop, I went back and bought it again.
Kaga no Tsuki Junmai Ginjo.
It is said to be aged for 3 years. The color was a solid yellow and it had a matured aroma. It has a sense of maturity, with a caramel-like richness and fullness of flavor. It seems to be the best sake for heating.
I was also allowed to try another sake from the Koukokuharu Brewery, but I've already tasted it before, so I'll skip that one.
I heard that they only distribute Iwase to restaurants that are well versed in Japanese sake.
I went home thinking that Hokuriku sake is warming up in the winter.
Good morning, Nemuchi ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I'm very interested in the sake that you went to the bus stop but came back to purchase 🍶.
Hokuriku sake is really perfect for warming up and relaxing: ☺️
Good morning, Kotaro ☀I decided to buy only one bottle, but when I remembered how good it was, I went back and bought it 😁I think it's better than not buying it and regretting it 🤣I think it's a perfect warm drink for this winter 😊.
We had it warmed up. Easy to drink without any peculiarities. Bittersweet.
The richness of the umami is also easy to drink. The lower the temperature, the stronger the umami.
Duck in a pot with "Kaga no Tsuki Autumn Moon" (Ishikawa's Kaketsu Sake Brewery) 🍁🍶.
The lingering taste of the duck hot pot on the palate is blissfully accompanied by the taste of sake that combines the freshness and depth of autumn.

Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15.5
Slightly hazy pale yellow color.
The first impression of the aroma is full-bodied
banana, bitter chocolate, caramel, yogurt
First impression on the palate is rather strong
Full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, mild bitterness.
Overall, the balance of the taste is mellow and delicious, but the lingering aftertaste is not too long and fades away quickly.
Although the alcohol content is 15.5 degrees, I feel a strong sense of alcohol.
It has a sharpness like when you drink Honjozo.
I would like to drink it with simmered dishes because it has a strong umami flavor.
I had a chance to drink with the master brewer several times, and I was moved to tears every time when I heard his thoughts on this sake, but I don't remember the specifics of what moved me each time (I drank too much).
I'll have to ask him again next time.
We have completed our 7th (tentative) lap of Japan for the time being, given that Okinawa is on hiatus for a few years ✨.
The last stop will be Ishikawa Prefecture. I'll be drinking Kaga no Tsuki, the honjozo type I've been drinking a lot👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could feel the aroma of sugarcane and its refreshing aroma.
The mouthfeel is crisp, but the mushroom-like flavor and mature umami gradually spread out.
The balance of umami, sharpness, and softness. The depth of flavor, even in a honjozo, is truly Ishikawa sake.
The aftertaste is also clean and smooth!
As I gradually approach my 10th round, I can't stop being excited to meet new brands that I haven't seen yet...!
Good evening, stst.
Congratulations on your 7th week (tentative) in Japan 🎉.
That's great 😲.
You've been drinking a lot of things in all parts of Japan. ⤴️
I hope you continue to enjoy your exciting drinking life 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-!
Thank you very much! Thanks to the various sake connections I've had with stores that carry many brands and encounters I've had on my travels ✨.
I will continue to cherish and enjoy our relationships...!
Purchased at Kurataro's event
The brewer brought a freshly pressed bottle just for this liquor store.

It is truly fresh & juicy and
The mouthfeel is greeful sour. ❗️
It is perfect for summer and I went gulping it down.
Kaga no Tsuki (moon of Kaga) without fire because it is for an event.
The aroma is gorgeous and there is a gusto of sweetness on the palate, but it is followed by a firm pungency of alcohol. The aftertaste is light, with no lingering sweetness.
