A liquor store in Kanazawa recommended this as the best choice for now. He said he could get 38% polished rice at a reasonable price. It has a yellowish color and is smooth on the palate. The moment you take a sip, it spreads at once. The acidity, sweetness, and bitterness are all present, yet the taste is crisp and clean. You can enjoy it without any side dish.
This is another sake that was included in the trial set. According to the store's description, "A sake with a natural rice flavor in perfect harmony and a floral ginjo aroma that reminds one of a mysterious moonlight. It has a smooth mouthfeel and a long lingering flavor. It is recommended to be served cold, but it is also enjoyable to savor it lukewarm. That's what he said. It was delicious.
Alcohol content: 15.5%.
Rice polishing ratio: 50
I'm off to Toyama for a business trip memorandum ✨.
First up is a sake from Ishikawa!

I was told, "If you want dry sake, I want you to try Katsikoma, but it is sold out," so I chose Hokuriku sake!
It was dry but had a mellow aroma and sweetness, but it was still refreshing 🤔.
The most popular "Gingyo" series in Toyama
We went to "Gingyo no Hanare - Gin Chirori"!
It was selected as one of the 100 best Izakaya restaurants in Toyama.
It was a great restaurant full of local sake and fish.
More to come 🍶❤️

The main purpose of my visit to this event was to report and thank my hobby sake shop for the delicious Kaga-no-tsuki nama-shu I had drunk.
◉Kaganotsuki Autumn Agari
The sake has a slightly aged feel to it. The taste is sharp and tangy, and the aftertaste is a bit too pungent. The taste is typical of Kaga no Tsuki.
I only took a side view 💦.
I really like Kaganotsuki's sake with its original sake yeast.
As is typical of daiginjo-genshu, the mouthfeel is rich and full-bodied. The rice polishing ratio is 38%, so there is little cloying taste and the flavor of the rice is concentrated.
Although the alcohol content is slightly high at 17%, the sharpness of the sake allows it to cut through the aftertaste without feeling heavy.
This is the first sake I bought on my trip to Kanazawa.
The aroma is typical of sake.
It is more classic, with umami, sweetness, light acidity, and bitterness.
