Striking
I thought it might be limited to direct sales, but I was able to buy it at a liquor store. If you go down the shopping street near Okamachi Station, you will find an old shopping center with a supermarket in it. This is a community-based liquor store that is housed in it. They carry a wide variety of sake brands such as Yukitsuru, Asakayousei, Katanozakura, Kaygetsu, Sakura Masamune, Ootsuru, Shiraoi, Haginoduro, Shikizakura, and others. They seemed to be putting a lot of effort into craft beer and wine. The rice is Gohyakumangoku and Koshibuki. The rice is lightly cloudy to the point of being orikara. Basically, it is spicy, but the entrance is clean, and it tastes good with a firm umami and acidity in the latter half.

Purchased at Takatsuki Hankyu. To be honest, they have a smaller selection of alcoholic beverages than Umeda Hankyu, but I think their lineup is more tasteful than Umeda. Umeda relies more on on-site sales. You can also buy Kuninonaga and Kiyotsuru at Takatsuki Hankyu. Grape and banana-like atmosphere. Not too sweet and spicy, but clear and beautiful. I wrote "clear," but considering it as a dry wine, I wonder if it is a mellow dry type. I said it was spicy, but there is a moderate amount of sweetness. It is a modest type of sake, but you can't go wrong with it.

☆☆☆☆☆ Bullet to Itoigawa to eat anglerfish hot pot. So, local sake. The first one is Yukitsuru. The aroma is like a strong sake, but it is easy to drink. It is not light and dry, but slightly sweet. I think it is good.

Second souvenir from KazKaz. It is a brand name planned and sold by 7 sake stores in Aomori. Rice used is 100% Hanasoui. The top-tasting aroma is a calm ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet with a strong umami flavor. The aftertaste is reminiscent of classical sake, and is quickly cut by a refreshing acidity and bitterness. It is an orthodox dry sake, but highly satisfying. Thank you for the treat!

7.5 points (wife: 7 points) Rice type : Manzai, Kakemai, Chiyonishiki Rice Polishing Ratio: 70 Alcohol content : 15 Where purchased: Charcoal BBQ KIZUNA (It is a neighborhood barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy rare parts of black hair on a shichirin, and the owner is a sake lover and always has several kinds of local sake available) Slightly melon-like topping The cherry-like aroma, soft rice flavor, and subtle sweetness mixed with the top-brewing aroma gradually spread out with a clean acidity and are quickly quenched by a slight bitterness and the dryness of the alcohol. This sake has a gentle, somewhat classical impression. It is better served with a meal than as a stand-alone sake. Goes well with various kinds of grilled meat.

I bought it yesterday along with Futaba. This time it was recommended to me as a special sake again. It tastes drier, fresher and punchier than Futari. The alcohol content is 17% and it's like a Mikawa-bushi. 1415yen

The bitterness is strong, but the sweetness before that is good. The bitterness makes it refreshing and summery. It is good. Good luck to Kinzoku and Oriten.

Shirokuma Shirokuma - Winter light nigori - 720ml Rice: Gohyakumangoku Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol: 16%. I opened a bottle of Hatsuzakura because my wife said it was too strong. It is soft and a little bit sweet. It is very different from the other two bottles that were made with a cloudy rice that looked like porridge. I would like to drink the animal series throughout the year 😊.

The first cup of the second night. The concept of "dessert rice wine" is very true. It has an elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets. It is thick and dense, with a distant bitterness. The sharpness is not bad and the outline is clear, so it is easy to drink even though it is quite sweet. It's difficult to make an appetizer with it, but it would go well with dessert. It's perfect with grape jelly👌.

Again, no rice used or major specs. It is a very low alcohol sake at 5%. Oh❗️It's really red! is my first impression. I remember drinking red sake before, but once again I thought rice is amazing. It's hard to recognize this as sake when it's served without saying anything. It's almost like a rosé wine, with a strawberry-like flavor. It's light, but I'm not sure I like the sweetness and mouthfeel. If I were served this sake at midnight, I'd be in a bit of trouble.

The rice used in this is also unknown. A slightly low-alcohol type of Junmai Ginjo So far, this is the most authentic and the driest sake in the HINEMOS range. The mouthfeel is clear, light and refreshing. When you drink it, the umami-sweetness spreads out, and at the end, you can feel the bitterness and spiciness in the throat and nose, and it tightens up quickly. Yes, yes, this is my favorite type 😋. I️ want to spend more time drinking this one.

(o´ω-)b🍶🍶🍶🍶 Today I went to Hiroshima 🚅 for work 🎊 for the first time in my life. I ate okonomiyaki, went to an izakaya (Japanese style bar), and at the end, I got the last of a bottle of sake that the owner recommended 😊I got the last of a bottle as a courtesy 😋. It's like a summer sake with a refreshing taste 😚 and a crisp aftertaste 😋. It went well with oysters, small sardines, conger eels and other specialties. ❤️ I'm going to work hard tomorrow and then go back to the liquor store 🥳.

I had something to do near Ono Sake Brewery, so of course I had to go there. I buy hiyaoroshi every year, but arabashiri? I've never had "arabashiri" before, This is the first time for me. Hi, it's nice to meet you. I'll drink it, This is delicious with melon aroma, flavor and freshness, On the first day, it was paired with Hormone Tempura, a regional class B gourmet, or rather class D gourmet, of Hiroshima. Yum, Delicious, No beer today.

Sake I got on a business trip to Hamamatsu. It has been a long time since I have been on a business trip, and it has been a long time since I have had a drink with people I have met, and I do not want the world to be a place where Corona gets in the way of meeting people. The name of this sake, "Dezejo," is an alias of Hamamatsu Castle, named after the successive lords of the castle who succeeded Ieyasu, many of whom rose to important positions in the Edo Shogunate. It is a traditional dry sake, that feeling of a hot throat. Hamamatsu is also the setting for a major TV drama, and Hamamatsu is hot and exciting.
