吉報シモサ
The final stop of the Nemuro section was at an izakaya called Parson's, where my boss used to be a regular customer.
I told him that I liked sake, and when I asked for something different, he said, "Oh, no, they have sake.
Here is a Junmai Ginjo from Hokusetsu Shuzo in Niigata.
It is a rather common, easy-drinking, refreshing type of sake. The sweetness is moderate, and the strain is sweet enough to assert rice.
The dryness that comes later gives it a nice sharpness. It can be drunk with food or with a glass of wine in the evening. Depending on how it is paired with other dishes, it has the potential to be as good as Kitanokatsu.
