HIDEKI
Elegant sweetness. Feeling similar to when I drank a cup of Toyo cup.

Is this what melon incense is all about? A stylish taste. I drank it with cheese. It was delicious.

I forgot to record the specs. I ordered it hot. I was not impressed by the alcohol and the sake tasted good, but I was not impressed by the sake.

This was the most impressive wine I drank on this trip. Gorgeous sweetness with impact. The alcohol content was high, but I didn't find it unpleasant at all. I don't know why. It was delicious.

It was fruity, sweet and gorgeous, but I was not impressed, partly because I had high expectations.
I would like to try other sake from this brewery.

Mutsuhassen特別純米(火入)
HIDEKI
To be honest, I didn't like it much. It does not stand up to elegant sweetness, nor does it have a good sharpness. It left me with a light, unpleasant feeling of alcohol.
It was not bad by any means, but it did not make me want to drink more.
I would like to try it with different dishes and at different temperatures.
It was good with fish.

Shirakami Sanchi Spring Water
After the ultra-fine carbonation taste, it has a full-bodied sweetness, and it is very smooth and crisp. It was so delicious that I drank more than half of it in one night.
It was great by itself, but even better with sashimi.

Torai特別純米超辛口
HIDEKI
I had never had a dry sake before, so I bought one to try. Since I was at the level of wondering what a dry sake was, I chose a super dry sake for clarity.
I guess you can taste the sake right after drinking it and the stimulation that comes right after that is called "dry". I liked the way it tasted and snapped me out of it. It was delicious, but I personally preferred the Toyo Cup and Hatsusen that I drank before.
I paired it with cheese, salted squid, kanikama, and natto (fermented soybeans), but the kanikama was the best fit.

Fisherman's food wine.
A very crisp taste. This time, I only had cheese to go with it, but it didn't go well with it. I heard that it is recommended to pair it with Hachinohe's famous squid or mackerel, so I will try it next time.
I felt it had a peculiar taste when drunk alone, but when paired with fish, it was delicious. The combination of sake and food is interesting. (1/12)
I tried it with salted squid, and it was really good. (1/13) Amazing.

HohaiWINTER 純米吟醸 生酒
HIDEKI
Rich aroma, fresh taste.
As expected, it was easy to drink and had a long lasting aftertaste. It was not my favorite aftertaste because of the alcohol, but when paired with cheese, the flavor of the wine stood out and was delicious. Next time, I would like to try it with fish.
I tried it with meat and fish, but they didn't go well together. Is that what junmai ginjo is all about?
