Haginotsuru Junmai Ginjyo Betsujikomi Kotatsu Neko Nama Nama Sake Hagino Shuzo, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan
Fresh, fragrant and slightly carbonated, with a gentle sweetness that spreads lightly on the palate.
The "kotatsu cat label" is cute 😺.
Hagi no Tsuru Cat Label Series "Kotatsu Neko
It has a fruity but gorgeous aroma, a sweet umami taste, and a soft taste of rice.
This junmai ginjo nama sake has a slightly carbonated freshness and elegant sweetness.
I wanted to conquer the cat series!
Next up, Sakura Neko🐈.
Purchased as a souvenir for my parents.
Light, fruity, fizzy, youthful sake ✨It has the beauty and elegance typical of Miyagi Prefecture 🥰.
It seems that this taste is rare in Akita, and my younger brother was very interested in it (he is a very sweet person).
It's a challenging sake as a food sake, so I joined in with one or two tastes 😛.
It is a pleasant sake with a slight effervescence and a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
Rather than pairing it with food, I thought it would be better to sip it while warming up.
