Hanaabi純米大吟醸 美山錦 無濾過生原酒純米大吟醸原酒生酒無濾過 しんしんSYThe last of the day was "Hana-yosu"!
Whenever I see HANAIYOSU and SANCHIYO, I always try to get them at MISHINA!
Recently, Shouei in Yamagata seems to have stopped carrying Hana-Hiyo-Yoku, so the only place I can find it is here, Mishina and SHIGI38!
So I finally tasted the pineapple feeling again 💐🍍🍍.
This is the third time I've tasted this Miyamanishiki since I first had it in Sendai!
It was a happy night as I also got to try some Nama Nigori sake 🌉.
After work tomorrow, I'm off to Moka for a class reunion this weekend!
Before that, I'm going to have a little fun in Utsunomiya!
Looking forward to meeting new people!
I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of sake I can find!
extensive knowledge on the subject
Rice used: 100% Miyamanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 48
Alcohol content: 16%. しんしんSYThe customer in the back ordered X-type Shinmasa NO.6!
There was a more expensive sake that I wanted to try that day, so I ordered this one!
It's Nichinichi!
And it's labeled "Aizan"!
It is very rare to find Nichinichi!
This was my 5th Nichinichi after Kyoto, Tokyo, Miyazaki and Kumamoto (Hakodate)!
I remember that the Nichinichi so far was a sake with a relatively sour taste because it was a sake made from a traditional sake yeast, but this Aizan is a very beautiful sake, and I did not feel any sourness, so I thought it was an elegant sake!
We took a short break with some pickled vegetables for chopstick rest 🤏.
We asked for zosui to finish off the meal, so let's order one more cup of our favorite sake 🍶!

I'm having trouble with this one 😩.
All the sake I want to drink
If that's the case, I think I'll alternate between pure sake and nigori sake.
There are some recommendations for heating sake, but let's go with a crisp, cold sake!
If that's the case, it's Hakuginkai.
The nigoromi of the Hanahayokyu was also delicious, but this Kangiku was just as good as the Hanahayokyu!
The pineapple flavor of Kangiku is just as good as Hanaoyosu!
This is also a fresh sake with a lot of ori.
It is good with hot dishes!
I've encountered a lot of Ginkai, but this was my second time to try Shiro Ginkai since Morioka 2 years ago!
Lucky ✌️

I'm pretty sure it's the same one I had somewhere else and enjoyed.
It was a winner.
It was K1801, wasn't it?
Slightly sweet, but not too sweet!
Hot shellfish appeared around here!
Let's eat and drink at a leisurely pace!
There were relatively few customers that day, so we enjoyed chatting with the owner and proprietress.
Knowledge
The base yeast is K1801, which has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of apples with honey.

Alcohol level: 14
Rice polishing ratio: Koji 50%/Kake 60 しんしんSYThe last time I was here, I was told that the next time I visit, there will be a nigori of Hanayoso.
When I told her that I was going to drink it since there was another hanahiyo-yu that day, she said happily that both the owner and the hostess had saved it since it was nigori.
Then I'll have it right away!
It seems to be a rare sake!
I looked up Sake-no-wa to see if I had ever had it before, but it didn't come up!
It was my first time!
I'll enjoy the four-pack bottle with care 🍶.
Fresh, fruity, pineapple 🍍.
Delicious 😋!
Dishes are coming out one after another!
Salmon and cheese noodle soup!
This is a must-try!
Hot kimchi nabe right after that...
This is the first time I've had this dish at Misina!
Plenty of vegetables, full of nutrients, and warming!

I was able to catch an earlier train so I got there an hour early ⏳.
The snow had melted, but it was a cold night!
There were many brands that I was interested in that day too!
I thanked them for their hospitality last time and let's drink 🍶!

Details
Sake degree: -10.8
Acidity: 2.2
Condition: fired メキシコテキーラThe seventh glass is a Junmai Daiginjo of Tasake. I finished with this. Sake from the Tohoku region is right up my alley. I got to know Hakodate a little better this time. Delicious sake and food. I would like to visit Hakodate again. メキシコテキーラFrom the junmai ginjos up to this point, the sixth glass was a junmai daiginjo. I knew about Hiroshima sake at least as far as Drunken Heart and Kamotsuru, but it was Amego no Tsuki. I looked it up and found that it was the top ranking sake in Hiroshima. メキシコテキーラThe fifth cup. This restaurant, Misina, has a wide selection of sake from all over Japan. There was Nabeshima, so I asked for it. It is refreshing and powerful. メキシコテキーラI had not drank much Nagano sake, but this one from Suwa was delicious. The fried eggplant with red pepper is also delicious. メキシコテキーラThe third drink. As there was no sake from Hokkaido, Toyama was next. It has a clear taste and goes well with tsukimori. メキシコテキーラThe second cup is a gem of Akita Shinmasa. Even though it is not a ginjo, the aroma and taste are quite good. Delicious. しんしんSYTo top it off, I brought in some sake that I got in Sendai for the two of them to taste.
It wasn't cold, so I asked the owner to put ice in a new glass!
Quick refrigeration
Let's finish with a sharp and spicy sake 🍶!
There was Maou and one of my friends was drinking it!
We didn't order any rice or noodles at Minshina, so we stopped at a ramen shop across the street!
We could have had porcini style ramen!
At my age, I should refrain from eating ramen at the end of the meal, but I drank a lot of delicious sake and got a little tipsy!
After we finished eating, we took a walk around the neighborhood and enjoyed the night in Hakodate!
See you next time in Kushiro next spring!

We had a hard time deciding between Hanayu Yamada-Nishiki and this Tasake Yamada-Nishiki!
They enjoyed Tasake Special Junmai first!
Then let's go with Tasake Yamadanishiki!
It is a little different from Tasake, which has the same apple-like taste as we have had several times in the past!
Fruity and deliciously sweet, almost like passion fruit!
When polished more than 50%, it is really free of any unwanted flavors!
Golf in Hokkaido is basically a one-round round-through!
On this day, we started before 11:00 a.m. and came back after 3:00 p.m.!
If that's the case, let's enjoy a short sightseeing drive in Hakodate before going to Minshina-san!
I was told that private cars are not allowed to go up the mountains of Hakodate from November 11.
We headed for Cape Tachihai, but the iron gate at the entrance was closed, so we couldn't get in!
Hakodate Station, the morning market, the red brick warehouse district, and Motomachi Park offer a beautiful sunset view.
Running straight by the Mashu Maru to Goryokaku Park.
We enjoyed the lights of Goryokaku Tower from our hotel room!
Enjoyed the drinks and food!
After this, let's finish up with the real last of the drinks I brought with me!

It's a bit dry as expected!
But as I sipped it slowly, I could feel the sweetness of the rice.
I'm glad to have met you, Katsuma!
