Today's second bottle is Kitayuki from Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture: ☃️
Last time I drank Kitayuki for the first time... I had a personal image of it as the best sake for a meal 🍶 with its sharp taste even with oily food such as yakitori🐔.
I was excited to open a bottle of the draft sake, as my personal image of Kitayuki was firmly established: ☺️
As expected, the aroma is only faintly noticeable since it is a less polished junmai (pure rice). It is not very strong.
And when you take a sip, you can hardly feel the piquancy of the raw sake... but...! Hmmm! 😳
While feeling the sweetness on the tongue, when swallowed, it has a complex interplay of bitterness, moderate spiciness, and sharpness like a dry 🍺 throat, which is also... delicious 😋.
I think even those who are exclusively beer drinkers will be satisfied with the taste. ❗️
I think Hokusetsu can be used as a food wine, and can be drunk in place of beer 👌👌.
I have a strong image of Shinzawa Brewery who brews Hakurakusei and Atago no Matsuri when it comes to food sake...but I like Hokusetsu because of its different taste 😁.
ps. I'm drinking it in a wine glass for the sake of drinking, but I recommend a boar's mouth 🍶 lol
I'm going to report on the second day!
The dry bitterness that I felt on the first day is lessened and the umami is slightly increased ⬆️ 😁.
This is pretty good ✨

It has a gorgeous aroma and a rich mouthfeel. But it is surprisingly crisp and dry.

When I had a drinking party with my colleagues at our house the other day, one of my junior colleagues brought this to the party.
I received a bottle of Hokusetsu YK35.
It is a Daiginjo with 35% polished rice 😊.
The aroma is a gentle but pleasant ginjo aroma.
In the mouth, a full rice flavor spreads, and in the second half, the taste is transparent like a daiginjo, and it finishes cleanly.
This is delicious!
It is soft on the palate, but has a strong umami flavor. This was truly a delicious sake 😊.

Cold Sake
Less fragrance, clear rice aroma.
The colder it is, the less alcohol you will feel, and the more it is chilled, the more watery it will be. It is dry, penetrating the oral cavity gracefully for a junmai sake. However, at the end, the sweet aroma typical of Junmai can be felt for a moment, and the flavor is gentle and understated.
It should be enjoyed as a food sake. It may be the best partner for light, salty foods and sashimi.

いとか
An easy-to-drink, easy-to-match food sake.
It is a nama sake, which is both drinkable and fresh.
I love Hokusetsu's junmai sake for its versatility, but the nama sake is also good.

Since it was Setsubun, I had a cup of sake with an ogre theme.
It is a Sado Onikoroshi, but it is a stable, easy-drinking Hokusetsu.
