Iwate Homare Special Junmai Sake" opened after returning from Mizusawa. One of the wonderful things about the sake culture is that it allows us to dig up the ties and memories of a place without leaving it. The taste is clean and refreshing with no falsehoods. This famous sake reminds us of the sky of Mizusawa.
In front of Mizusawa station, Sennari. This is my first time checking in for Iwate sake. Even though I have a connection to the area. A toast to a life well lived.
Manufactured in January 2025. We were sent this freshly squeezed sake from Echizen-cho, Fukui Prefecture, just in time for the New Year. It has a wonderful sweetness like amazake with a slight effervescence. We were thrilled by the fresh taste, the origin of sake!
Purchased at Ikebukuro Tobu at the end of the year as a limited edition. Opened it on New Year's Day for New Year's sake. The deep oak aroma is wonderful.
I was impressed with "Ona" from Tochigi, which I met last year, and its sake production evokes the water and atmosphere of Nasu. This time, I had a bottle of the raw sake. It was as wonderful as I had expected. The sweetness bloomed quickly and gorgeously.
Happy New Year, Koji 🌅.
Oh! That's Ona's second one 🤗I'm glad I could live up to your expectations😊No, who are you looking at️⁉️🤣.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby 🎍.
Thanks to Jay & Nobby's recommendation, Ona-san, I was allowed to open the sake on New Year's Day: ❗️No, it was a gorgeous sake suitable for New Year's Day: ☺️ I will enjoy Tochigi's sake again this year 😄.
I look forward to working with you again this year🙇♂️
Full, gentle, watery flavor. The sweetness comes in easily. I wondered if "Hanamizuki" was the name of the sake, but it turns out that there is a beautiful place called "Hanamizuki. It is sold by Noto Hanamizuki, an agricultural cooperative in Noto Town. Looking back on 2024, which was a year of hardship for his region. I pray that next year the Noto Peninsula will be restored and its industries will regain even more strength.
Dedicated to the altar at the Aragami Festival in 2024. This is delicious. It is refreshing and fruity. It is like a white wine. It has a sharp taste without any polished and cloying flavor. Fruity and dry at the same time. Surprising performance just opened at room temperature. This is good.
Individualistic. Very powerful. Made from "Enishinomai" sake rice produced in Shimane Prefecture. The flavor of rice. Mild flavor and sweetness from one summer of maturation. It is said to be named after the symbol of Tsuwano, the Taishogaya Inari Shrine. We are very impressed with the great "strength" of the original sake from this historic town.
