It has a dry taste with a delicious rice flavor, and is quite good as a mid-meal drink. Polishing ratio 70%, alcohol 15%. Pair it with yakitori (grilled chicken). We have found that yakitori with sweet and spicy sauce, especially motsu (pork), goes well with sake.

The last sake of the evening. Honu is a Hawaiian word for a sea turtle, which is believed to be a guardian god of the sea. Serve with cream cheese marinated in miso as an after-dinner drink. The rice polishing ratio is 55%, and the alcohol content is 15%. Well, since three of us drank six different 2-ounce sakes, that's four sakes for each of us. However, there was no residue the next day. Perhaps it is better to drink it while taking in the water, but is this the power of the hamo?

This is a summer sake with a touch of acidity. The sharpness may be due to the high alcohol content. I paired it with hamo (conger eel) shabu-shabu, the main dish this time. Sake is great with hamo (pike conger). This sake is made with 100% Miyamanishiki, 60% polished rice, and 17% alcohol by volume.

At Sanrikuzen, a sushi restaurant inside Sendai Station. I don't know more than that it is the first brewery. You can taste the flavor at room temperature. The entrée was cooked tuna. After that, we had raw oysters, sea squirts, sashimi, and grilled fish cakes.
