Kikumasamune生もと しぼりたて
okd
At my favorite izakaya (Japanese style bar) which serves delicious fish snacks. This is a restaurant dedicated to Kikumasamune.
It is freshly squeezed and goes well with sashimi of tuna and whelk, and homemade nukazuke (pickles).

Opened a bottle purchased on a GW trip to Kumamoto.
The aroma is not much, but it is rather nice because the water is from Aso, which is very good water.
The taste starts off sharp and dry, with a hint of sweetness and a fairly small aftertaste. Personally, I think this lack of aftertaste is very good because I never get tired of drinking it.

Purchased at a local supermarket during a trip to the Kii Peninsula.
This sake is a simple pure rice sake. Light and easy to drink, it goes well with seafood as it is from a port town.

It is sweet like drinking yogurt and is easy to drink, but it is also low in alcohol content, so it is safe to drink.

Purchased on a trip to Mashiko.
This one is a gem brewed with Hokkaido comet.
When I tasted it at the liquor store, it was a little rough like a new sake, but after three months in the refrigerator, it was cleaned up in a good way and became a refreshing drink with a good sweetness, just right for summer. (It lost some of its gaseousness, though.)
It is good to drink as it is, and also very tasty with sashimi.

It is called Tomiji-tei. It was a little far from the station, but I visited there because it seemed to be the best place to eat horse sashimi for lunch!

Was it Tomiji-tei?
I used to go there often, but I didn't know they had horse sashimi. I'll try it next time since it's my favorite. Thank you very much.
