It has a good acidity, a mild aroma, and an excellent balance of softness and good umami.
A light and delicious hiyaoroshi.
It seems to go well with Japanese food in general.
With the second Akinatai fish of the season.
One of my favorite foods, satsuma-age.
A good snack for sake.
I am a lazy person, but I don't cut corners either.
I grill it on the grill.
The sake to go with it was Tochigi's Ona. Since I drank Tochigi sake at a department store a few years ago, I've been drinking either Chuai or Ona.
This sake claims to be super spicy,
Even when chilled, it is not spicy, but rather has a pleasant umami taste. It is not spicy even when chilled, but rather has a pleasant umami flavor.
This is not good. I drink too much from noon.
Good evening, Maruwa 😃.
Satsuma-age! The searing process gives it that extra something 😋.
And there's Ohna-san's super spicy ‼️ This one is too good to be bad 🤗 Enjoy Kyokkyo and Souhyo too 👋
Hiyoroshi of Ona.
Gohyakumangoku🌾 sake produced in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture🍶.
It has a slightly sweet aroma on the nose.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a clear, mildly sweet flavor that is typical of Gohyakumangoku.
It has a good amount of flavor 😊.
It's been a while since I drank Ona, but it was quite delicious 🍶✨️
Good evening, @Mizuhashi!
It was delicious, just like Gohyakumangoku🌾 with just the right amount of flavor 😋.
Local sake is even better when you drink it on a trip 😊.
This is the driest sake in the "Ona" series of Chu-shu. Although it has a sake strength of +10, it combines a soft mouthfeel with a full flavor. It can be paired with any food, but it is an excellent match with Japanese food.
The depth of the yeast seems to spread to the nose.
The taste is as robust as rice and as supple as water.
As the label says, "Robust like rice, supple like water, Nasu's blessings connect people to people.
As the label says,
I enjoyed it while feeling the change of autumn.
Ona Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyoroshi 720ml
Rice: Gohyakumangoku (produced in Nasu, Tochigi)
Rice polishing ratio: 57
Alcohol: 16%.
Mashidaya's recommended Tochigi sake.
Since Senkori and Hououmida have become nationally known sake, Mashidaya suggested that since we were in Tochigi, we might as well try a sake with a strong rice flavor, as opposed to Shichimizu.
Wakakoma was also recommended, but we decided on Hiyayogoshi.
After the buffet dinner, we drank it in the room 🍶.
It is not quite rich, but after the Nanamizu, it has more body.
It is a mild and delicious sake as you drink it 🍶.
It is raining in Oku-Nikko this morning.
P.S. It's starting to clear up. It was sunny, so I came to Kegon Falls.
Jay & Nobby, hi guys 🫡.
Overnight in Oku-Nikko was a bullet tour😅.
I hope to visit there someday when I have more time 😢.
I'd like to stop by different liquor stores too 😃.
@Mizuhashi, here's another one 😊.
Lovely photos ✨I'm a local, so I've been to Nikko more times than I can count, but it's rare to capture such a beautiful Kegon Falls🌈: ☝️
The hiyaoroshi label 🍁 is also lovely 😘.
Tsubu-chan, it's my pleasure 😉.
This time, my senior couple had already booked a hotel room in Oku-Nikko, but they couldn't go because their wife couldn't go at a moment's notice, so it was a substitute trip because it was non-refundable 🚗.
We went to Kegon Falls without any preparation and were amazed by the breathtaking view: ‼️
The leaves will be changing soon 🍁.
