I thought, "I don't get a chance to travel around Hokkaido and drink local sake..." and then I found a Hokkaido bar nearby ✨.
The specs are as per the label on the back, but it was just right for a "last drink by myself after I've already had a drink and I'm drunk" situation.
Delicious. The specifications are exactly as stated on the back label. At worst, there is nothing to catch your eye, but at best, it tastes like "this is sake". It tastes like the greatest common denominator when describing "sake," but with a high deviation.
I bought some while visiting the Narita Gion Festival! It was just like a model sake with a sweet and thick taste and a sharp finish! Japanese summer is here 🇯🇵🎇🌊
The master of the restaurant's first recommendation (apparently from his hometown). Unlike yesterday's very spicy one, it is refreshing from the first taste and goes down your throat like a distilled liquor!
First time in Kagawa. It is very thick! The first sip is like rice shochu. But it's not too sticky, and it's very sharp.
PS: The first sip is not like rice shochu but like soy sauce.
They use white peach yeast. Perhaps that is why it has a fruity and gorgeous sweetness. It is slightly mellow, but easy to drink with a crisp throat 😋🍶.
It tasted like Shaoxing wine, "sticky but not sweet, but not sharp", which I didn't like. It's a shame to end the day with this, but if I drink any more, I'll be out of here...!
It is sharp and dry! The aftertaste is unrelenting, but unlike the typical "very hot" sake, there is a sense of warmth from the rice that is still there, which is good😋🍶.
