Sugiyuu is a brand I learned about at the Saizuru Bar in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture.
Recently, I often come across the cat series at Noe, San!
This time it's hiyaoroshi, full moon and cat 🐈🐱.
Hiyaoroshi is not so easy to find on the internet.
This time, too, I was able to confirm it with information from Fukuhara Sake Shop!
It was a light and delicious sake!

Thank you for your comment, WOM. Yamagata has many famous sake brands, so I have not paid much attention to Sugiyuu until now, but they seem to have changed their image recently. I will drink the Cat series again when I find it 🍶.
Fukuharasan Hanpukai
Mild aroma. It has sweetness, acidity and astringency.
It has a slightly bitter aftertaste.
The sweetness is weak and the sake has a great umami flavor.
It is delicious with fried bean curd and potato. It is a refreshing yet lingering sake.

I was at a local liquor store that I frequent, and this one, sort of caught my eye.
I don't recall ever seeing it (there were so many of them, most of which I haven't even drunk)
Simple (simplified) label lol.
I don't know if it's to show the lees inside or what, but...it emphasizes the oli and I can't help but notice it😳.
Sugiyuu Junmai Namae Namae with Ori
When you drink it, it's shwashy 🫧? Fresh type!
Not strong acidity, a little unique sourness?
Not too sweet for this type?
But this is also a dangerous one that goes down slooooowly😜.
4.2/5.0
Sake that tastes light and sweet, but has a hard taste.
Sake that goes well with light, light dishes. Pickled rice,
It goes well with pickled omizuke and 🍆zuke. A typical summer sake.
Thanks again for your delicious sake.
Aromatic aroma.
The taste has a sense of maturity,
The full-bodied acidity is typical of a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast.
The bitter flavor is reminiscent of vanilla essence.
The taste is too strong and not very good.
It would be a good pairing with strong sauce or cheese-based dishes.
Taste 2.5/5
It has a strong sweetness from the rice, but the slight bubbles give it a clean aftertaste. I thought it was a very tasty sake to drink chilled in summer.
The 42nd bottle of home brew in 2024 🍶.
Sugiyuu's summer cat 😼 package is cute 😆.
The taste is slightly dry, without much sourness or bitterness, with a crisp and clean aftertaste 🤤.
I wonder if it's because it's made from the original sake brewery that it's not too dry and has a bit of weight to it. Thank you for the treat 🙏🙏.
