あおい
I bought this bottle at a liquor store in Murakami after listening to the owner's explanation. It is only available in Murakami and only here. The Shikumo label is also a non-regional sake, but this one is the only ginjo-shu they make.
The eye-catching package reads "Boshi woman working in Hokuetsu," and I wondered what a boshi was. I wondered. I drank it, imagining that the sake was probably made with a lot of thought and care, given the name. It is a ginjo with a strong sake flavor that is as good as salmon in sake-bitashi. It is a taste that can be enjoyed without anything else and that makes me want to drink it in winter.
