Izakaya near Yumemart Drink cold sake Refreshing ginjo aroma. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a very strong dryness. After a while, the taste becomes sharp. The dryness of the sake by itself stands out, but when paired with sashimi, the flavor of the snacks is enhanced and the sake's deliciousness is heightened.

Drink it cold. Almost no aroma. On the palate, the taste is sharp and full-bodied. The dryness spreads slowly. It is light by itself, but when paired with fishy snacks such as sakadaki and crab miso, it enhances the flavor. Crab miso goes especially well with sake. When warmed, the taste of the sake itself becomes stronger, and a different flavor emerges.

Buy at Hakata Hankyu During the limited time Saga Sake Fair (Just after opening the bottle) Drink cold Slightly colored but clear. Strong ginjo aroma similar to watermelon. The robust flavor is delicious. There is a slight sense of maturity. The taste is not so broad, and unlike the impression of the aroma, it is not gorgeous. The aftertaste is dry and frizzy. Warm it up to lukewarm. The ginjo aroma weakens, and a savory aroma and an alcoholic tangy smell are added. In the mouth, it has a dry, frizzy aftertaste from the start. The taste is slightly fuller. Hot sake The ginjo aroma is gone and the smell of alcohol is strong. The taste is very light and the dryness is only slightly noticeable. The closer it gets to being warmed up, the more the aroma becomes more like corn. The flavor comes back, but the richness has decreased and the dryness has increased.

Purchased at liquor store in front of Yume Town in Onga Town Drink cold Colorless, clear and weak Firm ginjo aroma Full-bodied with a sense of weight on the palate. It does not give the impression of being aged at all. After a while, the taste wears off quickly. The dryness is weak. I don't like the taste of sake after the fall season because it gives the impression of aging, but this sake has no such impression, only pure umami. Warm it up to lukewarm. The taste spreads further and is very good. The taste does not become blurred even if it is heated up.

Purchased at a liquor store in front of Yume Town in Onga Town Clear and colorless Ginjo aroma similar to apple Full-bodied with a refreshing sourness on the palate A little taste of rice The richness lingers in the mouth for a while. The taste gradually wears off and the aftertaste is very refreshing. Immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator, the gorgeous flavor is a little difficult to match with food. It is better to warm it up a little to make it easier to pair with snacks. To be served hot The aroma has a savory flavor similar to that of corn. The flavor is not as gorgeous, but it has a broader taste and a crisp, clean taste. Unlike cold sake, it enhances the taste of side dishes such as tuna tataki. Surprisingly, heated sake is also good.

Drink cold. Transparent with a slight yellow tinge Classic aroma similar to that of maturity. Complex and rich with a sense of maturity on the palate It lingers in the mouth for a long time. It goes well with rich crab miso. The label on the back of the bottle says that it has been aged for one summer. Compared to other hiyaoroshi, it has a very punchy flavor, perhaps due to the fact that it has been aged from a fresh bottle. Warming to lukewarm The aroma spreads strongly, and a tangy smell of alcohol is added. The flavor remains the same. Heat it up The aroma becomes less alcoholic and more like amazake (sweet sake). The taste is very mild, with a weak sweetness.

Izakaya near Tenjin Station Not only the main course of fish, but also the shiitake mushroom stew, crab miso and ochazuke (rice with green tea) are delicious! Drink with slightly chilled cold sake. The aroma is almost imperceptible. The palate has a heavy richness with a tingling dryness. No fruity taste but strong sweetness. The feeling of rinsing out the mouth is similar to that of shochu (distilled spirit)

Slightly chilled cold sake A classic impression of robust richness spreads out. The mild sweetness appears later, and the taste becomes sharp. It goes very well with sashimi, as it washes away the fishy smell. It is also delicious as a heated sake.
