With two daughters in tow, we set out for Echigo before the winter arrives. At an inn in Yuzawa, we sipped on some local sake.
I was surprised to find that the sake tasted sweeter than I expected.

I came to the Hanamaki Festival with my two daughters. Summer has gradually quieted down. After visiting the festival stalls, we put the children to bed and had a glass of locally brewed sake, which was the main purpose of the trip.
It's a refreshing drink without being heavy. This is good stuff!

With my two daughters in tow, I set out for the Hachinohe Tatehana Quay morning market. We foolishly got the day of the week wrong and were unable to go to the morning market. We went to a market called Hachishoku Center to get some sake and appetizers. We had sashimi and sake.
The sake is a little sweet, but easy to drink. Aomori flatfish is delicious. Sake guzzling. The argument that the further north you go in the archipelago, the better the fish is, is also reinforced here.

The rice comes straight to you without any sweetness or acidity. It's very nice and not too glamorous.
My two daughters and I went to Togatta Onsen in Michinoku. Sasa-kamaboko (bamboo grass kamaboko) is delicious!

Fluffy spring scent. A fluffier spring would be more to my liking.

The ginjo aroma comes through quickly. I'm convinced that it's a classic.

From here on, not junmai sake. Why do people recommend ginjo or daiginjo to beginners? I don't care what you think, junmai sake is more ah-ha-ha drinkable. (This is my personal opinion.)

If you think it's sweet, it's really sweet. It was the same as amazake. I was surprised.

Gentle. Not punchy enough, but I think they're aiming for that kind of freshness.

I get it. I can clearly see the vector of this baby. It's a substitute for lemon on oysters. This is going to be a foreigner's favorite.

This one feels more solid and sharp than the wooden bucket.

I persistently tried the wooden vat brewing method. I still prefer Junmai sake.

The wooden vat comes with a gusto. Soupy wooden bucket
