I bought this sake after much hesitation!
Light and dry sake
Well-balanced!
Would it go well with kiriboshi-daikon (dried radish)?

I was strolling around the Hankyu Department Store in Kobe and saw a brewery selling their products on a business trip and was asked if I would like to try a sample. I didn't hesitate to say "Yes" and bought some after that.
Slightly yellowish color
Nutty aroma
The sweetness, acidity, and Yamahai flavor rush into the first sip, making it a strong sake.
Serve with sauteed chicken
Firm flavor that goes well with meat
Purchased at the Kiku-Masamune brewery opening
Queue for 30 minutes due to admission restrictions
Grape juice?
It is so sweet and sour that you would think it was grape juice!
It is best served as an aperitif or with a dessert such as chocolate cake.
Feel Spring in the Nanbu Plum Grove in Wakayama
Ume plum trees in full bloom
On the way home, I visited a sake brewery.
Sweet aroma
The spiciness comes first when the bottle is opened.
but after a week, the sweetness comes through.
It is mild and smooth.
but also has a sharpness.
Very well-balanced sake.

I'm not getting enough exercise these days.
I walked 2 hours from my house to visit Shiraga to open the brewery.
I took my time and visited the brewery just before the brewery closed.
