Hakurei Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu vivid 1650 yen (4-pack bottle)
On the first day of my business trip, I went to the liquor store as usual and was given a choice of delicious sake, this time this one!
The aroma smells of alcohol and is a little less than expected. The first attack is sweet, sweet, sweet. The fruity sweetness of wasanbon sugar and high sugar content lasts for a long time, followed by a slight bitterness and sourness. It is probably the sweetest sake I have ever tasted. There are many kinds of sake 🍶.

Hakurei Shuzo: Freshly squeezed new sake!
Very refreshing and crisp, with a soft and gorgeous aftertaste that lingers on afterwards.
I drank it with gusto. I want to buy it again.
I bought some nozawana in Nagano for the occasion.
100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Kyoto, Japan.
The osake with its unique sourness, "Sanki Yakashi", is neither a sake that waits for lactobacillus to be stored in the cellar, nor a yamahai sake, nor a fast brewing sake that quickly throws in lactobacillus. If it is just a lactic acid to kill bacteria, it would be true, but if the acidity is deepened by selecting lactobacilli, we can enjoy the depth of the sake in a different way.
A slight bitterness and a gentle sweetness of candy spread. The initial aroma is of boxwood and raspberries with a strong sourness.
I heard that the sake is good warmed up, so let's try it. I wonder if this sourness can be enjoyed cold as well.
This is the third type of VIVID from Hakurei.
It is a little high in alcohol, but very easy to drink. It tastes light and refreshing, but you will never get tired of it. I can drink this all the time!
