(2) Sake from Shizuoka on a business trip to Hamamatsu (Day 2)
Although it is nigori sake, it is as smooth and gentle as described and has no turbidity.
It is easy to drink with a refreshing aftertaste!
Sake Tasting in Hamamatsu (Day 2) (5)
It was chilly today, so I had a recommendation for heated sake!
I was told that it was aged in Shizuoka Distillery whiskey barrels!
It really smelled like it was aged in the barrels!
It also has a slightly sweet taste, and is as unobtrusive as the Hatsukame we tasted earlier!
At first, it has a sweet taste that is typical of nama-zake.
It spreads in a full-bodied manner with no unpleasant taste.
The acidity is low and the aftertaste is refreshing.

The proprietress recommended this autumnal hiyaoroshi!
This is another hiyaoroshi sake with a very typical flavor, but less pronounced, but the best of the day 😊!
It is characterized by Shizuoka yeast, but the Kokkou Brewery, where it originated, has stopped producing it since R6BY!

I heard it is called "Kikuyoi" instead of "Kiku-sui".
Modest sweetness at first!
The taste, flavor and aftertaste after that are all modest!
You can drink it all the time!

Sweet and gorgeous mouthfeel of today's sakes.
Aroma, but the aftertaste turns to dry junmai!
Tasting Shizuoka Sake on a business trip to Hamamatsu (1)
Slightly sweet on the palate, but not overpowering.
But it's not too strong.
Some acidity in the aftertaste
While it was super dry with a sake degree of +15 degrees, it was also delicious with the umami of hiyayagoshi.
It was delicious with hiyaoroshi flavor.
Next time I want to drink it as the first drink😅.
My first sake from Tokyo.
Lightly sweet with a smooth aftertaste.
It is unfiltered but clear,
It has the robust flavor of nama-zake, but not too strong.
Can you drink only at Tomoji in front of Hamada Station? This is a rare sake!
The sake brewery is Kamerei Shuzo in Higashi-Hiroshima.
The owner's wife wrote the words on the label!
It is wonderful!
Local Sake on a Very Rare Hamada Business Trip
I had never tasted Sakonishiki sake rice before!
I could taste the acidity, but it was not too pronounced.
Is it the character of the region? But I felt a very good impression of it!
Special Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Unblended Sake Brewed in 2023
The alcohol content is 17% and you can taste the matured feeling.
The aftertaste disappears without any unpleasant taste, so you can drink it in small sips.
Local sake from Shiga Prefecture, where the rice, water, and environment are all locally produced.
It is a hiyaoroshi sake with a soft taste and goes well with sashimi as a mid-meal drink.
I've never tasted Aiyama sake rice before.
As described, it has an apple aroma and a sour taste.
The aftertaste disappears quickly and smoothly, making it easy to drink.
When I was drinking the Junmai, the waiter told me that there was a little bit of Hiyayogoshi left, so he offered me a cup of it (thank goodness)!
I could tell that the flavor had deepened!
