Purchased at a kiosk at Obihiro Station.
It is a sake made from Hidaka's Comet rice, a brand I have never seen before even though I visit Obihiro regularly.
It is easy to drink with a refreshing sweetness and a nice sharpness.
We will have sukonoko (herring roe), chikuzen-ni (boiled and seasoned chicken and vegetables) and New Year's Eve soba noodles as a side dish. They go well with New Year's dishes.
The label is backwards because the sake is usually sweet, but it was brewed as dry as possible.
It is a little bit strong when served cold, but mild and pleasant when heated.
A doburoku from Tadami, Fukushima Prefecture. Like a juice, it has a strong sweetness with a clean aftertaste. Sweet sake tends to be tart, but this is a good sake that does not make you tired of drinking!
Purchased in Mino City on a trip to Gifu and had it at the hotel at night.
It declares itself fruity. The initial aroma is unique and a little unusual, as I have not had much experience with other aromas, followed by the usual fresh fruity aroma! I think most Gifu sake is a bit classical, perhaps because of the strong flavor of the food. This is good!
It has a pleasant aftertaste with a good amount of gas and a strong sweetness. The pleasant melon-like aroma is also very pleasant, making it easy to drink.
A drinking iron with no snacks on hand.
It is sweet and fruity, but goes down smoothly and is a very tasty sake that can be drunk as much as you want on its own.
At a soba noodle restaurant near Funabiki Station, where the brewer is located.
Slightly fruity and very easy to drink. It goes well with snacks and is easy to drink!
Review one week after opening the bottle. More fluffy and easy to drink than at first. It has a nice assertiveness (neither too strong nor too weak), as is typical of Aizu sake, and is pleasant to drink.
