Sake from Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is made from 100% Hitogochi sake produced in Omachi City.
The price was 1980 yen at Chateraise.
It seems that there are only two kinds of Hakuba Nishiki sake sold in the market.
I thought it would be a bit more fruity and sweet like spring, but it tasted more like junmai ginjo than I expected.
Today we have a local sake from Shinshu.
It is sold exclusively at Chateraise.
Hakubanishiki Junmai Ginjo from Hakubanishiki Sake Brewery.
The aroma is mild.
The taste is sweet at the beginning and tastes refreshing and delicious afterwards.
Sake made in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture. It is made from 100% Miyamanishiki produced in Omachi City. It is not too sweet and is a legitimate junmai ginjo.
The Genkai pickles, which are whale's head cartilage marinated in sake lees, from Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, are delicious and make the sake go down a treat.
Can you see the Chateraise mark at the bottom of the label? Chateraise has two types of sake, each priced at 1,980 yen, and I bought both. I will post the other bottle soon.
