Hakugakusen純米大吟醸 アッサンブラージュ 路考
ジャイヴ
Last night was the last full moon of the year [cold moon] 🌕As the clouds parted, I was mesmerized by the moon floating in the cold winter air and opened a bottle of sake [tonight, moon-viewing sake] 🍶.
Hakugakuzen Junmai Daiginjo Assemblage Road Thinking
I decided to commemorate my 200th check-in with "Hakugakusen", a sake with which I have a special connection 😁.
The aroma of rice is clear and melon-like, the taste is sweet and melon-like, the aftertaste is mellow and deep, and the bitter taste lingers on the tip of the tongue.
The acidity from the sweetness and umami and the lingering aftertaste are superb, and it would go well with any side dish, and it is also perfect as a "hare-no-hare" sake that can be drunk slowly without a side dish.
The name "Rikou" is said to have been inspired by the staining on the costumes of Kabuki actors who were popular in the Edo period, expressing their neat faces with the sharpness of the acidity ✨.
Recently, I noticed that many of the Hakugakusen brands use Japanese names for their colors, such as [Sakura-zumi] in early spring, [Umimatsu] in summer, and [Kurotetsu] and [Shiraneri] on their labels.
It's fashionable to express the taste of sake by its color 😆.
The 4th picture was taken when I went to the brewery to buy some Rokko. There were some brands in the cold storage that I had never seen before, so I decided to make it my next goal 💸.
On the anniversary of Sake-no-wa [moon-viewing sake tonight] achievement 🌕🍶.

Good evening Mr. Jaive 🍶.
Congratulations on your 200 check-ins! 🥳
I too fell in love with Hakugakuzen after drinking Natsumushi this year. The balance of sourness and sweetness here is exquisite.

Thanks for your comment, Pon ✨
There are still some Hakugakusen brands that I haven't drank yet, so I don't have to worry about the "Kiri Number" 😁.
At first we couldn't see the moon because of the clouds, but by the time we opened the bottle, the clouds had parted and the full moon was peeking out 🌝.

Thanks for your comment, Matsuchiyo ✨
I saw on your post that you also drink "Mai-bijin" in addition to "Hakugakusen", and I would highly recommend "Sari" which is another brewery in the same area and has a characteristic sour taste 😁.

Fukui is famous for "Kuroryu" and "Bon", but there are still good sake that can compete with them 😁.
If you see one, please give it a try 🍶.

Jay & Nobby, thanks for your comments ✨.
We decided to make Kiriban our local sake based on your post 😁.
We will continue to promote Fukui's sake that is still unknown to the public 😆.

Thank you for your comment, kino.✨
I often see people drinking "Hakudakesen" outside of the prefecture when I watch Sake-no-wa, so I thought it must be pretty well distributed 😁.
Please try it 🍶.

Thanks for your comment, chiaki ✨The amount of alcohol I want to drink doesn't match my consumption at all, so I'm left chasing it 😅.
［I knew about the other top of the line [路考], but I found the highest level for a limited time 😵💸.

I always look forward to reading about Hokkaido's restaurants 😁I'm sure "Hakudakesen" will go well with your meal since it's the same land of abundant seafood 😋.
