Junmai Ginjo Seseragi Tokutei Hida Honor
Easy to drink with a sweeter flavor and low alcohol content.
Low alcohol content. It's a good thing.
Slightly astringent aftertaste.
I tried to match it with sashimi (shrimp and flatfish) by myself, but it was not the right sake.
It might have been a bit light and dry.

It's cold today 😊.
While I was thinking that, my wife suggested we have oden 🤩.
Of course I said yes😊.
I suggested we drink oden and invited my wife to join us ✨.
So we opened a bottle of sweet sake that was in the cellar 😁.
It's a hiya oroshi, so the sweetness and acidity are calm, mellow and delicious 😊.
It's getting colder and it's oden season ✨.
Good evening, Kano!
The cold weather has come all at once. ❄️
Oden is nice on such a day ☝️
I'm sure you'll be drinking it if it's that cold.
I haven't had luisen yet, but oden and sake is great together, isn't it?
Hi Kano 😃
It's getting colder now ❄️
I've never paired oden with sake 👍I just realized recently that I've never paired oden with sake 🤣.
I'll follow your example and make oden 🥰.
Lifen from Gifu Prefecture.
It is 55% polished rice made from "Hidahomare", Gifu Prefecture's preferred rice for sake brewing.
Pair this freshly squeezed, unpasteurized sake chilled with sashimi.
It has a freshness, but the umami of the rice is well expressed and seems to be a good match with fish.
Purchased at Sake no Hirose (Gifu City) during a trip to Gifu
This bottle was introduced to us as a sake that goes well with warmed sake.
When drunk at room temperature, the sake-like rice flavor spreads in the mouth and the sourness lingers down the throat.
When heated up, it has a more nostalgic sake flavor, but it is a little tangy and goes down your throat quickly.
A bottle that can be enjoyed at different temperatures.
It's a drink outside 🎶🎵.
We had this at a paid tasting at a liquor store in the next city 🎶🎵.
I heard that the first brand the liquor store recommends to new customers is Lihui Izumi.
This is probably my first time drinking it.
The owner explained about the Yamada-Nishiki rice used to make the sake. It was delicious with a full flavor.
