The fourth drink at Sapporo's soba restaurant was "Hanzo" Iga Junmai Sake. This sake is also delicious! When the snacks are good, the sake is good, too.
Good evening, Ruzbert III!
Hanzo's Goldfish label is delicious 😋.
It's also delicious with a meal 🎵.
Indeed - good sake with good snacks is a synergistic bliss 🤤.
The third buckwheat noodle restaurant in Sapporo was "Iyo Kagiya Sakurahime", 100% Matsuyama Mitsui rice produced in Ehime Prefecture. It is refreshing and tasty! The language of flowers in Sakurahime is "hope". It is a delicious sake that lives up to its label.
Komei Kiku "Kame-no-o" sake brewed in 2021. It has matured to an amber color in the low-temperature cellar of a sake brewery, enhancing its flavor. Kame-no-o's deliciousness has increased. It was delicious.
The closing drink is "Kitano Nishiki Shinaginari" from Yubari Kuriyama-cho. This local sake is made from "Kitashizuku" sake rice produced in Kuriyama-cho. It is a deeply flavored sake. It goes well with simmered octopus.
Sake from Hokkaido is becoming more delicious every year. Niseko" made with Hokkaido's sake rice "Ginpu" is a delicious sake. Soi no Nitsuke" is also delicious.
Yamagata's summer sake "Shuho". On a hot day, you can cool down with a crisp, dry sake. It goes well with "udo no amazu zuke" (udo pickled in sweet vinegar).
Asahikawa Takasago Shuzo "Kaitakitama" dry junmai sake. Made with 100% "Kitashizuku" sake rice produced in Higashi Asahikawa, Hokkaido. Local sake made with delicious rice and water, and "corn tempura". Enjoy Hokkaido to the fullest.
I found "Koei Kiku Seikai" at a soba kappo (buckwheat noodle restaurant) in Sapporo! We ordered it without hesitation. I drank it with a tin cup. The acidity is mild, but the taste is refreshing...it's delicious. It is a summer sake that goes well with sashimi.
After performing a goma (prayer) at Takahata Fudo-son, we had a bottle of Kangiku "True White" from the nearby Koyama Sake Shop. The fruity and refreshing summer sake was delicious!
At the May Grand Sumo Tournament at Ryogoku Kokugikan, I sipped on a glass of Tatsuma Shuzo's Shiroshika Ginjo-shu "Kokugikan". It goes well with makunouchi bento. Dosukoi...dosukoi!
Senkori "Sakura"...locally produced sake for local consumption. It's a delicious sake with the flavor of cherry petals floating in the light cloudy water. Sentori Domaine is nice!
