Bananas showing various expressions Complex aroma reminiscent of banana, herbs, and malted rice. From a clean mouthfeel, a fresh and mild banana-like sweetness spreads with a gaseous sensation. The finish is smooth with a mellow impression. Served at KEG. The taste retains the freshness of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. A sake that allows you to enjoy its complexity. ★★★★★

balanced strawberry The nose evokes a mild sweetness. Neutral mouthfeel gives way to sweet and sour tones. A hint of pear-like aroma rises, and then it finishes with a tangy and pungent taste. The Tokachi brand has been in existence for 5 years, including the brewery, and appears to have been launched with great effort. ★★★★

Rubus hirsutus (species of raspberry) The aroma is reminiscent of sweet and sour tastes like strawberries. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, with a gentle sweetness that fills the mouth. The same hint of fragrance rises as the top shelf and finishes with a lingering sweetness. Tasting at a sake brewery's antenna store. I finally got to drink sake from a popular Hokkaido brewery. ★★★★★

round-pointed kiri (Bungarus fasciatus) The aroma is reminiscent of sweetness, as if sugar has been boiled down. The palate is neutral, with a mild sweetness. From there, a clear acidity emerges. The latter half of the wine is smooth and crisp with a lingering acidic aftertaste. The sweetness is balanced by the acidity, and the crispness allows the sake to be enjoyed without being sticky. The freeze-dried salted fish and edamame (green soybeans) as snacks are excellent with their rich salty and umami flavors. I didn't know you could eat dried salted fish. I should have bought more. The fourth (and final) day of drinking. Four-hour train ride from Hakodate to Sapporo. The train was shaking so much that I was afraid the cups and bottles would fall off the table. It was difficult to drink calmly. ★★★★★

apple nectar Pale, apple-like sweet and sour aroma. From the mellow mouthfeel, the sweetness and aroma of apple nectar spreads. The second half is tangy and pungent, and the sweetness converges and sharpens with clarity. Yamada-Nishiki and No. 9 yeast are an iron plate combination. It has a firm sweetness and is best served with apple jelly. The third day of drinking. On the Shinkansen from Aomori to Hakodate. ★★★★

Clear Classic Mild aroma. The crisp mouthfeel opens up to a classic, ripe, sweet flavor. After that, it turns to transparency and is smooth and crisp. The first half of the sake is heavy, but the sharpness of the second half makes it a perfect match for a cup of sake. Serve with sake-kasu-jiru (sake lees soup). It will warm you up. A very good wine.

mild apple Aroma reminiscent of gentle apple sweetness. The mild mouthfeel is followed by a clear sweetness. After that, a full-bodied flavor gradually appears, and it quickly finishes with an apple-like aroma. It has an apple-like aroma that makes one strongly aware of Aomori. Aromatic and easy to drink.

Rich but sharp sharpness The aroma is reminiscent of the richness of brandy. The rich flavor spreads from a clean mouthfeel. The aroma has hints of ripe apples, and it finishes sharply with a simple acidity. The transition from the rich impression in the beginning to the simplicity in the latter half is interesting. It matches the sweet and salty taste of tasake takuan (radish). It is also a good match for oden with ginger on top. There is no way that they do not go well together. ★★★★

Schwarzenegger and clear. Mild aroma. The attack has a strong, juicy gasiness and tangy texture on the tongue, revealing minerality and acidity. After that, it converges as it is with beautiful clarity. The strong attack on the palate is impressive. The beautiful sharpness afterwards is also excellent. The pairing is in tune with the minerality of the oyster cheese, and the richness and mellowness compensate for the simplicity of the sake. While listening to a live Tsugaru shamisen performance on the Resort Shirakami. Luxury. ★★★★★

calm, cool, and collected Slightly lemony and sour aroma. Gentle sweet and sour taste from the mellow mouthfeel. After that, the acidity becomes stronger like condensed lemon, and after a tangy, pungent taste, it finishes softly with a mild taste. The contrast between mildness and acidity makes for a tasty match. The second day of the drinking iron 🍶. We took the Resort Shirakami from Akita to Aomori. With sake bought at Hasegawa Sake Shop and snacks obtained at major stations. The refreshing taste of wakame shirousetsu matched with the tangy taste of wasabi. Bliss. ★★★★

Pukupuku Active Smoothie Cloudy and strong bubbles. The sticky mouthfeel is followed by a strong effervescence and acidity. A refreshing yogurt-like aroma rises, and it finishes with a mild, light flavor and a lingering firm acidity. You can also taste some solids. This sake was brewed at Tokyo Station. I wanted to drink this. You can only drink it raw here. You can enjoy it with fresh and strong gas. Pair it with Ebi Miso. The strong umami of the shrimp miso compensates for the lightness of this sake, and the mildness is in tune with it. ★★★★★
