Dodgers League Championship Commemorative Bottle
Neat taste from a gentle mouthfeel
It is a sake that takes you back to the beginning.
We toasted to celebrate the master's birthday and the Dodgers' victory!
Accompanied by grilled Kyoto red chicken with sansho (Japanese pepper)
I found this at a convenience store in Kanagawa Prefecture.
I bought it because I have never seen it before, and it seems to be a Seven-Eleven only product. I guess it tastes like the middle of "light and dry"... (this is my personal opinion).
(This is my personal impression.)

Recently, I have been reevaluating the classic type of sake. The recent Kubota Aki-agari was particularly excellent. This time, I bought a bottle of Hakkaizan nama sake, which is only available during the new sake season. It is a member of the Hakkaisan group, along with Jyushiyo and Hakkaisan, which established the sake boom in the past! How good is it? Let's go!
What? It has a very gorgeous apple aroma! Why does it have such a fruity aroma? Slightly viscous sweet brewing water! Yes! The apple-like sweetness and sourness envelopes you, but the bitter astringency brought about by the heavy structure of the 19% Hakkaisan is a very good punch and makes it drinkable! The sweetness of the rice is gentle, and above all, it has the best flavor. And a strong sharpness! This is really a great sake!
Once you get used to drinking sake, try some Echigo-Tsumari! You will be reminded how delicious Hakkaisan is! I really like it as a base for the classics! Thanks again for the food tonight!
Nose is quiet, but it is quite chilled. Flavor is bold and up front. Cotton candy, red vines, and a bit of spice but not much on the finish. The finish is long and maintains the sweetness. Not my preferred flavor profile but I'll have it with food.
