Chokki
Abukuma Honjozo
15% koji 65% kake 70% 1.8 liters 1980 yen
I bought a bottle when I went to Fukushima.
It is very sweet. It is sticky and clings to the tongue unpleasantly. It has a strong alteness. I'd rather drink it hot than lukewarm.
Abukuma has a good image, but I would have had a better impression of this brewery if the honjozo was good. I searched for it and found it at a reasonable price of 1980 yen for a bottle! The sake degree is plus 1, so the taste is quite sweet, but if I had taken the price into account, I might have given it a higher rating.
