I was finally able to return from my lapsed first Corona.
When I first opened it, I could detect a slight sourness, but the next day the sourness was reduced and it was easier to drink.
It has a slightly fruity taste, a moderate sweetness, and a full-bodied flavor.
It has no aftertaste and is very tasty.
Chiyotsuru Nama Nigori Sake 720ml
Rice variety Tentakaku
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 19-20%.
I heard from Mr. Yoshida that it was manufactured in December and sold out, so I went to Mizuhata and found it still available.
I took it with me along with Sogape.
The degree of nigorigo varies from bottle to bottle. The bubbling seemed to have calmed down a little and we opened the bottle without difficulty.
It is neither sweet nor spicy, and creamier than it looks.
Seasonal sake, local sake, I took a cue from Jay & Nobby and drank it at home 😄.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. ☀️
Chiyotsuru is a very rare brand even in Toyama prefecture, and is just as delicious as Katsuma.
I recommend it if you have a chance 😄.

(7) FUMIKIKIKU SAKE Brewery, Reconstruction 2024 Bottle, 15-year aged sake
The last one was a bottle of Fukko 2024 created by Kaede Ito, a painter from Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, and produced by the Toyama Sake Brewers Association.
It looks like a beautifully aged old sake. The taste is clear and refreshing. I was surprised at the gap.
When I entered the store, the first two customers had just finished and I was able to start tasting slowly. So I gave up my place to someone who came later and went home carrying four four-goupe bottles (two from Hanpukai and two from Haneya) in my backpack.
The snow in the Tateyama mountain range is gradually getting lower 🥶.

(6) Haneya Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo Aizan
Next was Aizan.
I had the September lot at home, but my impression was not so good. The November batch was quite tasty, with a moderate sweetness and umami! I was surprised.
I attended the tasting while picking up the last of the hanpukai and ended up with Prism and Aizan in my backpack😅.

5) Haneya Junmai Ginjo Tominokou
The next one is Tominokou, a rice produced in Toyama Prefecture.
It is a gentle and gentle one. It is better to drink it by itself.

Haneya Junmai Ginjo Kirabi
This is a regular all-year-round sake.
After the prism, it was a bit too much. Is it a normal sake?
I felt that it was a normal sake.
If you drink it by itself, it's not like that.

Haneya Jungin Prism Hologram Label Ultimate Shiboritate
This is so fresh!
What is this? It was like "What the heck is this?
Hello, @Mizuhashi-san.
Haneya-san I've had this sake once since I got it a long time ago, so when I came across this one, I wanted to get it: ⤴️
The Tateyama mountain range is beautiful✨
Good evening, ma-ki-.
Please do discover the prism 😉.
The Tateyama mountain range turns pink in the evening sun 😄.
I'll take a picture if I find another beautiful moment 😃.

(2) Haneya Moonlight Beauty, Omachi No. 10 yeast brewed Nama-shu
We will taste them in order. Next was Omachi.
I felt this sake was weak, perhaps due to the lingering aftertaste of the sparkling sake. If I had drunk it by itself, I am sure I would have felt its delicacy.
Before entering the restaurant, we had miso ramen for lunch at Tsukushi. Last week in Sapporo, we had to give up Sumire because of the long line.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi-san 🦉.
That's an impressive Haneya drinking comparison!
Last year, this one was so good that it might change depending on the year, the order of drinking, etc. 😊I feel like it's a once in a lifetime experience🎶.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌇.
I think you are right 😄the sparkling aftertaste was too strong😅
I also realized this time that the same sake rice can be different from time to time when it's brewed...
Interesting 🤣.

1) Haneya Junmai Daiginjo Sparkling Nama-shu
I went to the tasting by Mizuhata. Just after opening the bottle with a bottle opener. It's dangerous at home unless it's in a bowl because it overflows with shwash. ⚠️
Good for Christmas🎄. It is gas-filled, so once the bubbles are gone, it's solid sake.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
I walked to go to the tasting 🚶.
Next week we are going to a tasting at Tateyama Sake Brewery, but I am a little worried 😩.
