Cloudy white nigori-shu type, slightly effervescent, with a pleasantly fizzy mouthfeel.
Slightly sweet and sour, fruity. Characterized by an aroma reminiscent of yogurt and lactic acid beverages.
Well-balanced sweetness and sourness, with a refreshing, slightly carbonated taste. Low alcohol content, light, juicy, and not tiring to drink.
It was the first time to drink Hokuyo, and I was asked at the store if there was any shwashy type sake because of the hot weather.
I divided it into several portions so it wouldn't blow out, and at the end the moromi floated in a blur, and now let's drink it: ‼️
It's like a 🫧sweet and sour lactic acid drink wrapped in a 🫧gentle foam 🫧packet. It was a good drink to drink in the current extreme high temperatures🥂.

It has a mild aroma, a rather light and refreshing attack, and a mild sweet umami flavor that spreads softly. You can enjoy its well-balanced taste and sharpness as a food sake, and its refreshing and light aftertaste leaves an impression that makes you want another drink. It is a perfect match for sashimi, grilled fish, and other seafood!
A longtime local favorite, this brand has evolved greatly along with the renewal of the brewery!
The price is also reasonable, making it an ideal bottle of sake to keep on hand!
At a standing bar in Gotanda.
This is my first brand.
Fresh and fruity ginjo aroma.
It is light and moderately sweet.
It has an alcoholic taste and is very drinkable.
It has a robust flavor for a summer sake.
Purchased at AEON Liquor Shop in Tonami.
Hokuriku Shinkansen 10th anniversary commemorative sake.
The color is pale yellow. Lees are visible, probably due to the unfiltered process.
It has acidity and sweetness, but the acidity is a little strong.
The acidity is a little strong, yet it has a dry taste.
