Rice used is Kitashizuku
This is a genuine kura-only, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
Fresh and full of alcohol, with a punchy mouthfeel.
Sweetness can be felt in the mid-palate, but the overall volume is too much and soon disappears.
It may not be able to compete with other strong flavored food items.
It was a delicious sake that was well worth drinking. ‼️
Rice used is Comet
Probably. The last visit to Asahikawa this year.
I will have less chance to visit Asahikawa next year,
I stopped by Meiji Sake Brewery after a long time.
I thought it was a limited edition of the brewery.
But it seems it was not.
It was an orthodox Junmai Dry Sake with a freshness to it.
Purchased during a trip to Asahikawa, Hokkaido, when I visited the Takasago Sake Brewery.
The bright blue color of the bottle and the Ezo squirrel label are very cute.
Sake bought at a local brewery tastes better and is more memorable.
Degree of preference *☆☆☆☆
I bought this Junmai Daiginjo by Kokushimusou at a Hokkaido product exhibition.
It was a limited edition made for Kagoshima, and when I tasted it, it was gorgeous and delicious, so I bought it!
I also tasted Asahi Shinwei, but it was so much more gorgeous than Asahi Shinwei 😁 I was convinced that the price is more than double of this one! LOL!
Takasago Shuzo 125th Anniversary Sake Junmai Ginjo-shu, only sold directly from the Meiji Sake Brewery. It is a delicious sake with a slightly sweet taste.
