The new Famima limited edition sake, Hoshi Tsukiyo, is the non-sparkling version and is made by Gekkeikan. It has a wine-like sweet and sour taste, but also has a strange alcohol taste, which I thought was quite similar to the Sesession I had about a year ago. The same goes for the fact that it's alsobeerated. I think it is good for beginners to drink in a convenience store where only classic sake is available, but I can't help but think that the same Hoshigetsuya should have been labeled on the front as well, since the alcohol content is quite far from that of sparkling, target-wise.

After finishing the Sakiyami, I opened a bottle of the recently released Famima's limited edition Hoshigetsuya. This very sweet, sour and juicy low-alcohol sparkling sake is just like Mio. If it is sold in convenience stores, I think this is the right line, but I would have liked to see more different characteristics. It is delicious, though. It is strange that the seller is Gekkeikan but the manufacturer is Sanko Shokuhin. I wonder why they don't manufacture it themselves.... I thought the brewer should be Sanko Shokuhin Kogyo, but since the non-sparkling version is manufactured by Gekkeikan, I decided to go with them. I wondered if Sanko Shokuhin Kogyo had a license to produce sake, but it seems they have already obtained one for sparkling.
