This product was developed through repeated trial and error based on the theme of using Hokkaido rice to create an unprecedented type of junmai sake. This junmai daiginjo is suitable for long-term aging and can be enjoyed warmed after aging. The aroma and flavor can be enjoyed at all temperatures.
Sake rice is Hokkaido Ginpu, milling ratio 50%, in-house yeast "NISIKI 100 Year Yeast".
Sold exclusively at special dealers. They say it is rare to find it in Tokyo even though it is available in Hokkaido 😆.
I had it well chilled at a corner shop ✨.
It has a clean, crisp taste right from the start!
The aroma has a hint of muscat 😆.
The sweetness is moderate and subtle, and the umami of the rice stands out! The rice flavor spreads as you continue to drink 🤤.
It has a clear and transparent impression, with a light and dry taste that is not too assertive!
It will be a great addition to a variety of dishes ✨.
The scent of the north stands up and then falls away all at once.
It has the feel of rice peculiar to Hokkaido.
It's called Comet.
Sake with a sense of the northern land
As the label suggests, it is a representative brand of "Kitano-Nishiki".
It was featured in the movie "The Railroad Man" starring Ken Takakura, and is the oldest brand of Kobayashi Shuzo, which has lived together with the coal mines of Sorachi. This is a honjozo with an emphasis on flavor.

Delicious!
Good evening, Penguin Blue 😃.
The label has Hokkaido in the foreground! The colors are lovely and eye-catching 🤗I'd like to try this one, like your review of the taste!
I went to Hokkaido every summer and missed it so I decided to go with Hokkaido sake.
I bought it at my usual Asahiya Sake Shop using Setapay. 2970 yen, but Setapay gives 20% back.
The taste is easy to drink but firm. I think it is because of the 70% rice polishing ratio. It is normally easy to drink and goes well with sashimi.
Today we are toasting with sea bream sashimi that we received as part of our hometown tax payment.
Both the rice and koji are from Hokkaido. It is 15% alcohol by volume, a little sweet, and leaves a strong alcoholic aftertaste that makes me happy. It is a sake for everyday drinking.
Next, Kita no Nishiki Fuyu Hanabi Draft, which is also available only at this time of the year. What a treat! I haven't had it in a while, but was the label black?
I like this one a lot. It's cloudy and completely juice.
