Hohai特別純米酒　旨辛口ドライ特別純米原酒無濾過

I was expecting Toyobai to be quite dry since it is a dry, dry sake with 18% alcohol by volume, but it was delicious even for someone like me who is not that good at dry sake. Because of its high alcohol content, I enjoyed it cool and refreshing on the rocks, perfect for summer. Degree of preference: ★★★★☆

I tried Takachiyo Murasaki Label, which is only available in Niigata Prefecture. It was somehow paler than the Takachiyo I have had in the past, but the aroma was gorgeous and delicious. I paired it with soba noodles and tempura of bamboo shoots and matatabi. It was the first time for me to try matatabi, which cats like. It went well with sake! Degree of liking ★★★☆☆☆☆

I drank a bottle of Hiran made with Nikomaru, a rice for the first time, and also an edible rice. It has a slightly sweet taste with a very strong sense of gas and acidity. The aroma was gorgeous and delicious. Degree of preference: ★★★★☆

I found the Shin Takachiyo series, which I enjoyed very much at a previous tasting I went to, so I bought it. The one I had before had a grape aroma, but this "Chi" has a strong sourness and a citrus aroma. It also tastes citrusy and can be enjoyed without any snacks. Degree of preference: ★★★★☆

I have been wanting to drink Tasyu light nigori someday. First of all, the bottle was very beautiful with its blue-blue base color! Then, there is the mineral aroma, like that of ramune. When you put it in your mouth, it tingles a little on the tip of your tongue and disappears leaving behind a refreshing sensation. It is really delicious! My favorite degree: ★★★★★

The fifth cup is Hagi no Tsuru's Sakura Neko. The moment you put it in your mouth, the intense sweet and sour taste spreads in your mouth and dissolves in a swoosh, leaving a slight carbonation. This is delicious! Degree of preference: ★★★★★
