I'm sipping on a small portion of the Smoked Dish assortment from a certain Niigata supermarket...mackerel, salmon, eggs, baby scallops, cheese🧀, nuts...it's a great time to be a drinker. Smoked Dish assortment.... Happy...

Halcyon looks just like poor grass, or so I found when I looked it up. Peach, lactic acid, wood, fresh smell. It has a light peachiness, a refreshing, yet tight acidity, a taste of rice, astringency, and finally a spiciness that spreads rapidly. It is delicious, but the price is too high. It is a good food sake, but the price is too high. It is too good to drink with chilled tofu. I like it. When I ate it with food, the spiciness I felt when drinking it alone was converted into umami, and the subtle sweetness and umami made me want to eat more. When I ate it with fish, I enjoyed the umami and savory taste. It is delicious. The smell gets stronger as the temperature rises. The second day. Juicy. Grape-like.

Hakkaisan at room temperature in a proper stir-fry. A Niigata honjozo that takes everyday cooking to a whole new level. Niigata's Honjozo, which raises the bar of daily dishes to a higher level or two. The reason why a man's home-cooked dishes are inevitably overloaded with oil and salt is probably because the spiciness of the alcohol, which makes one's spine stand up straight, is so pleasantly delicious. In any case, Hakkaisan is a quintessential Hakkaisan. It is well-balanced. It is also wonderful when heated. The sake has no peculiarities, and it is very easy to drink.

The aroma is not that strong, but a little floral. The taste is pungent and light. When drunk with food, the spiciness decreases a little and the dry rice character remains beautifully.

We've run out of alcohol😭 When I was crying, my husband said I was crying and my husband said, "Why don't you try heating up the Hakkaisan we have at home? He said Oh, I knew you had it in you! I didn't know that was possible! This was a bottle given to me at the company's ridgepole ceremony. I'm not a big fan of sake, so I've been sipping on it, but this is the first time I've had it warmed up. Let's see... I'll try it at 40°C at first It's still a bit alcoholic, but it's getting more rounded. Next, I'll try it at 60°C Ahhh...! It's rounded out and easy to drink 🍶. On a hot day like today, chilled sake goes well, but heated sake might be nice sometimes too 🤓.
