Pre-dawn Kinmonishiki Junmai Daiginjo.
Gorgeous apple aroma🍎.
Citrusy taste 🍊
Bitter aftertaste😣.
I rather like the taste, but not the aftertaste.
But overall it's a good drink.
I just wish it had a better aftertaste.

Everyone loves Katsuma.
It's delicious. It's balanced, classic, safe, but not boring? Well, I like it.
I heard they don't have much out of Toyama, but this place has it in the usual places!

We drank at Akachochi.
It was a raw sake. I personally prefer the nama-zake, but this one has a freshness to it that has changed.
It is a little different from the standard Yamadanishiki that comes out in Hyogo. Maybe it's the Kanazawa yeast?
At any rate, it is a good sake.

We drank at Akachochin.
Finally, Masumi appeared in the neighborhood!
Junmai Ginjo, low al
Delicious! Easy to drink but has a decent flavor. The aroma is low, but it goes all the way. More of a personal, unobtrusive, drink-as-you-go sake than a food sake, but I'd like to have it again!

This year's summer pure rice: ☀️
Not bad, but would I recommend it? If you ask me, I don't know lol.
It was pretty average. But it was refreshing and I didn't dislike it, so I might order it again? That's pretty important.
Might be good.

Go to Noto and drink Noto sake.
So I had my favorite Ikezuki! It was fresh and delicious! It warmed up gradually, but that was good too! It was a straight forward sake!

It's a 50% polished sasasigure and is served as a summer sake.
I'm still not sure what a summer sake is yet, lol.
It has a sourness that I don't encounter very often, but I also sense a lingering bitterness.

I got an extra bottle of Honjozo! Thanks 🥲.
It seems to be a local runoff and it's pretty easy to drink, but not my type. It has a nice sharpness. It doesn't interfere with food, but perhaps too thin and doesn't bring out anything when paired with food? That's just my own feeling.

This is delicious!
I also use Ginbukiyo, and I quite like the taste.
It's a little sour, fresh, and fruity, but there's no weird carbonation, and I like it even when it's directly pumped!

I like this sake brewery, but there are not many in Toyama, so I feel like I can only drink it here.
It is on the dry side, which I like, and has a nice acidity.

Last summer drink of the day.
I guess there are a lot of blue or green themes.
This time, I'm going for dry rather than sweet. I didn't like it very much. Well, it had a nice feeling to it, but it wasn't impressive at all. It didn't go well with the food I ate, so I'd rather have a nice aftertaste than a sharp one. It's quite rare, though.
