Timeline
Islander
I finished my business in Tokorozawa area early and had a lunchtime drink.
It was smooth, full-bodied, deliciously spicy, and had a bitter aftertaste.
It was a little alcoholic, so I guessed it was probably honjozo.
I like their motsu-nikomi (stewed pork cutlet) and thought it would be a good match, but unfortunately they were out of it at the time. I had it with deep-fried tofu and yam. I would have liked something with a stronger flavor.

It is delicious with a mellow sweetness that is typical for a sake made from the traditional sake yeast and Kame no O. It is very drinkable, but has a good sharpness.
It is drinkable, but at the same time it has a good sharpness. This is a good example of the quality of aluzoe. This is a high quality sake.
The label is cute and nice.

When I went to Yahiko, I happened to see a tasting event and bought it on the spot because it was delicious.
It was soft and mellow.
I was also told at the time of purchase that it was unfiltered.
It is indeed quite refreshing and crisp for a regular sake.

It has a fruity taste with a tangy gasiness. It is a well-balanced type of sake that is supposed to be light and dry.
It was easy to drink with a mild and refreshing aftertaste.

It has a characteristic nutty, caramel-like sweet and savory taste. There was also a slight acidity, and the flavor spread gently and was enjoyed slowly. Delicious.
I couldn't really taste it when it was cold, so I returned it to cold at room temperature and it was outstanding. It was also good lukewarm👍.

Yamahai drinking comparison 4 kinds of food set
While waiting for the connection, we went to SAKE Shokudo at Kanazawa Station.
All of them are rich and delicious. The pairing with the food was also good. I learned a lot about how different rice makes such a different impression.
All of them were very good, but personally, Omachi was a critical hit. I would like to revisit.
