I had a drinking party in Arakicho, Shinjuku, but I had some time to spare, so I went to an izakaya that stocks Aomori sake, which is rare in Tokyo 🍶😅.
First up was Sekinoi in Mutsu City on the Shimokita Peninsula.
The lady at the store told me that the brewery usually makes sweet sake, which is not typical of Aomori, but this is the "back" Sekinoi, a very dry sake.
This is the first time for me to try it.
The initial aroma has a hint of classic acidity.
The mouthfeel is a robust, complex, umakuchi type.
It also has a hint of sweetness with umami.
It is said to have a Sake meter of +10, but the umami is so good that you don't feel it.
It would be interesting to heat it up.
I'd like to try a regular Sekinoi or another brand of Kantatema.
It's pretty good 🍶🐎.

Looks like it's consumed almost exclusively locally.
Have you ever seen cold standing horses? I hear they are good too.
