Leftover check-in yesterday
Kunikare and baby herring
I used to see them in Kansai once upon a time, but it's been a long time since I've encountered them♪
Grilled herring roe is delicious with the flavor of the meat!
Kunimei is a good selection, but it is not too much, and has a little sourness, so it is perfect for grilled fish!

Slightly dry, fresh sake, no depth
The Joy of Sake New York 2025
The northernmost sake brewery. It is brewed with Yamada Nishiki and melted snow water from the Hokkaido Shokanbetsu mountain range in the bitter cold of Hokkaido.
Kunimei Shuzo Kunimei Junmai Hiyoroshi, Masumoe-cho, Hokkaido
I found an out-of-season hiyaoroshi in a corner of the cellar, so I tried it. It is a rare sake from Hokkaido!
It's a clear, crisp, dry junmai hiyagoroshi with a hint of maturity.
When I first learned about Kunimei, there were not many sake breweries in Hokkaido. But nowadays, sake in Hokkaido has evolved. That's why I want Kunimei Sake Brewery to do well!
It was a gift.
I got it last year around June and let it sit for a long time...
It has a strong aroma and strong flavor.
Strong aroma
Mouthfeel that goes in easily
The taste is sharp and clean.
Excellent with full-bodied, robust flavored food.

I was curious about Kunimei, so I tried to drink it.
They said they didn't prepare the one without music playing, so I couldn't compare...
It was sweeter and a little more modern than the Junmai I've bought at Yodobashi in the past. I was surprised because I imagined it to be rough and dry.
I don't know if it's the effect of the music or if it originally tastes like this 🤔.
Clear and dry
Slight aroma, sharp attack. The taste is clean and dry. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
You will not get tired of drinking this sake 🤣.
My junior at work bought it for me as a souvenir from her honeymoon in Hokkaido 😊.
It's 300ml so it was an instant hit. It was delicious! Thank you, thank you for the treat 😄
