Hidakami芳醇辛口純米吟醸 弥助

I bought the black one because the Hikkami super-harakuchi Junmai-shu was so good.
The dryness of the sake came across well.
However, when I compared it with the super-harakuchi Junmai-shu, I preferred the black one.
I preferred the black one.
Quote from the store of purchase
Sake that goes well with fish and shellfish, the pride of Ishinomaki, a port town... "Hitakami".
This much-talked-about sake was introduced on WOWOW and "dacyu"!
After three full years of planning, it is now ready to be served!
What is "Yasuke"?
From the Meiji period to the beginning of the Showa period, sushi was called "Yasuke" in the Hanayagi world.
Its roots can be traced back to the Joruri and Kabuki play "Yoshitsune Senbonzakura" (Yoshitsune's Thousand Cherry Trees). Taira no Kiyomori's grandson, Taira no Koremori, who was defeated in the battle of Minami-Pei (Genpei), escaped from the battle and fled to a sushi restaurant. It is said that he took the alias "Yasuke," which later became the name for sushi in the Hanayagi community.
Following the release of "Hikakami Super Dry Junmai Sake," this is the second sake that goes well with sushi!
Although it is a ginjo class sake, it has a mild aroma that is not too gorgeous and enhances the flavors of the ingredients without interfering with them. In particular, it is an exquisite match for white meat, crustaceans, squid, shellfish, and other ingredients with delicate sweetness.
