けいけい
Purchased at a local supermarket.
From the aroma and aftertaste, this sake is like a very dark sake that is more like amazake, but made easier to drink with brewer's alcohol. It is not difficult to drink due to the low alcohol content (13%), but it becomes quite addictive in a good way if you keep drinking it.
It was not a good match for lukewarm or hot sake, as the acidity became too strong.
I was looking forward to drinking this sake because I had enjoyed a concoction from the same brewery at a sake festival, but it did not exceed my expectations. For a four-pack of honjozo sake priced in the 1600 yen range, I'd probably repeat the Masamune.
