I opened a bottle of Peach Color Nigori, which I had been reluctant to serve.
The taste has not lost any of its original flavor after six months of aging, and it has become a little more refreshing.
It is still very tasty!

Junmai Daiginjo, a limited edition of the brewery!

This is the third cup of the Kyoto Tango trip!
Although the menu at the inn describes it as dry, the sweetness spreads at the moment of drinking, but soon recedes, making it a pleasant drink.
Goes well with local fish!

This sake is brewed with sake rice from Takikawa, a town next to the brewery.
When served cold, the aroma was a little weak and lackluster, but as the temperature rose to a little below room temperature, it became just right.

It is a rare sake at this time of the year, and is believed to be a limited edition sake from the brewery.
My grandparents' house is located near the brewery, and I welcomed them with sushi with my relatives, but since Hokkaido is full of beer drinkers, there was no one to accompany us with sake, so I enjoyed the sake alone. (My grandmother is always kind enough to go to the brewery to prepare a bottle of sake for me).
I am very happy to be able to have a bottle of nama sake at this time of the year, the kind of sake we drink at New Year's!

After the strong sweetness, there is a strong sake taste and bitterness. The mouthfeel is thick and mellow and quite tasty. It went well with Genghis Khan.
However, because of the added sugar, it is treated as a liqueur, not sake.

It is served with sushi from Nagoyakatei, a conveyor-belt sushi chain based in Kushiro. Basic port city sake
As a local, I have to say that Hokkaido's sushi ingredients are top-notch, but the sake to go with them is not.
I wonder why Nemuro Hanamaru and Nagoyaka-tei only offer standard spec sake.
I always wish they would carry Junmai or Junmai-Ginjo sake with higher specifications. It is a waste that only a few restaurants do not have the concept of pairing sake with food, although this is partly due to the fact that we live in a car-oriented society. It's time to get rid of the idea that all you need is Sapporo Classic.

田中酒造久蔵翁 純米吟醸 原酒

This is the second sake from back home.
This one is a local brand using a rare rice called "Akagebyo" from Otaru, Kitahiroshima (the city where Escondido's Escon Field is located).
The sake has a nice ginjo aroma and sweetness with a hint of alcohol!
From an out-of-towner's point of view, this is a hidden sake brewery, but the taste is as good as you would expect!
