Expedition to Kanazawa. Fuku Masamune and Kagatobi.
The stable Kanazawa yeast (unconfirmed) of the once-fired hiyaoroshi (hiyaoroshi is a type of sake made from the yeast of the Kanazawa region) seems to have an excellent sharpness and lingering taste. (The sharpness and lingering aftertaste, which seems to be a stable Kanazawa yeast (unconfirmed), are very excellent.
Fukumitsuya Higashi is a pilot store in Higashi Chaya-gai that offers sake tasting, so we were able to try some of the sake recommended by the brewery. The standard sake was good, but when I told them what I liked, they recommended a variety of high-class sake.
I can't afford high-class sake, so I like to drink casual hiyaoroshi sake this time of year.
