Kaga no Tsuki (full moon) obtained at a hot spring in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is served at room temperature. It has a mild and gentle taste. The aroma is moderate, and it would go well with sashimi. It has a soft and elegant taste that goes down smoothly. It may be the perfect sake to drink with a meal.
Alcohol content 15.5
Polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice, 58% for kake rice
It is refreshing but has a nice rice flavor.
You can get drunk comfortably 🥴.
Fruity and banana-like at first (is this the ginjo aroma...?!)
The aftertaste has the aroma of rice.
Goes well with kamaboko. It is like the aroma and flavor of each other are there without interfering with each other.
When combined with cheese, it instantly becomes more like wine. Interesting!
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%.

I'm off to Toyama for a business trip memorandum ✨.
First up is a sake from Ishikawa!
Kaga-no-tsuki Full Moon 🌕 Junmai Ginjo
Sake degree +4
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 🍶❤️
