Kunimare “Onikoroshi”

 I ran out of sake at home, so on my way home I stopped by a nearby supermarket to look for Hokkaido sake. I found a bottle I had seen before but had never tried, so I bought it. It’s called “Onikoroshi” and is made by Kunimare Sake Brewery. 

I knew there were many people who loved it, but strangely enough, I had never tried it before. So I bought this sake without any hesitation. 

Now, let’s taste it to see what kind of sake it is. My impression after taking a sip is that it’s quite punchy. The general expression would be that it’s very dry. It spreads in my mouth all at once and then disappears. It has a very sharp taste. It’s a good choice for the hot summer. It’s no wonder that there are so many people who love it. 

Tonight’s dinner main dish was stir-fried lamb, and this sake went perfectly with it. I think it goes well with meat dishes in general. And it’s a sake that you never get tired of drinking. You can see the skill of Kunimare Sake Brewery. 

Kunimare Sake Brewery is a sake brewery in Mashike, a small town on the east coast of Hokkaido. Unfortunately, I have never visited the brewery. I plan to visit once before the snow falls. 

And the sake named “Onikoroshi” is not exclusive to this brewery. I will cover that in the next article. 

I am grateful to have enjoyed another day of health and to have come across delicious sake.
