常陸国正宗
As you may have guessed, this is a local limited edition sake from Kobayashi Shuzo, the brewer of Houou Mida! We procured it at Michi no Eki Omigawa, a roadside station in Oyama City! When I drank it, I found that it was not as gorgeous as Houou Mita, but it had just the right balance of fruity and umami flavors, and it was great 😋.

The label looks like an energy drink! It has a fruity mouthfeel with a green apple feel, but the aftertaste is sweet, like amazake? It had a well-balanced taste with the flavor of rice. The alcohol content is light at 12%, so I drank it very quickly.

Hitachinokuni Masamune A Journey Through Time at E501 SAKIGAKE PLATFORM13 It was hiyaoroshi and the taste was a bit mellower, but the fundamental part of the flavor was that it was one of a kind. It was delicious 😋.

A Journey Through Time at E501 SAKIGAKE PLATFORM13 An event was held at Ueno Station using E501 SAKIGAKE, a converted E501 series train that was once (briefly) active on the Joban Line! In the train, we were able to enjoy Ibaraki's local sake! The first cup was a Daiginjo from Kiri-Tsukuba! It was a slurp and I drank it all up in no time!

At SAKE MEETING 2025 Autumn Needless to say, this was also delicious😋. Fuji Daigan Yamadanishiki Daiginjo (2025 National New Sake Competition Gold Medal winner) from Morishima Shuzo was also available at this event, but it was already out of stock when I visited the Morishima Shuzo corner, I guess you have to drink the most popular sake before you buy it! Also in terms of not forgetting the taste impressions 😂.
