This is a Seicomart limited edition label Junmai-shu "Hokkai Do!" from Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo, Kamikawa-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido.
It is a tasty sake with a strong rice flavor and aroma typical of junmai sake, with a refreshing aftertaste.
The naming is...
This was the first time I purchased sake from Hokkaido. It was very clear and fresh, with umami and sweetness.
This sake is more delicate than the grandeur of Hokkaido.
Delicious 😋.

A friend of mine gave me a bottle of 🦑Squid 🦑, which I had to open to enjoy this delicious sake 🍶.
The aroma is sweet with a faint golden color. Watery mouthfeel. Sourness and sweetness spread out after a while. It is a delicious sake that is thick and easy to drink 😋.
The taste is rich and sweet with squid sashimi. In sweet-and-sour pork, the sweet taste is increased.
Tomorrow is a rest day, so I will drink it for tomorrow 😅.
Kamikawa Taisetsu with white koji: ❄️
It's getting hotter and when I hear "white koji" I just pick it up.
The aroma is sour with a hint of sweetness.
When you drink it, it has a pleasant sweet and sour taste with grapefruit and white grape-like acidity and sweetness. It has a smooth mouthfeel that is cut off by a sizzling acidity.
The aftertaste is sweet and sour, leaving a lingering sweet and sour aftertaste.
After a few days, it seems to have settled down to a slightly sweeter taste. The smooth acidity is still there, making it easy to drink even on a humid day.
I think the acidity was a little more noticeable right after opening the bottle, but overall it was light and gentle. I think the acidity was a bit more pronounced right after opening the bottle, but overall it is a light, gentle sweet and sour sake, perfect for this time of year.
I enjoyed it to the end ✨.
I bought it myself as a souvenir from Hokkaido.
As soon as I got back home, I opened the bottle straight away.
It's delicious!
It's perfect as a food wine.
Not too assertive.
It won the gold medal at the Hokkaido Sake Awards in 2025.
