JA Taisetsu is located in Higashitakasu and Takasu-cho, Asahikawa City, and has long been known as one of the best rice-growing areas in Hokkaido, thanks to the water flowing from the Ishikari River, which originates in the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range, and the fertile land. It is named "Hakaiku" with a wish that things will go smoothly by drinking locally brewed sake made from "Kitashizuku," rice suitable for sake brewing, which is grown "taisetsu" in this land.
Sake in Hokkaido is unknown.
It was recommended to me, so I tried it.
It is sweet, light, and flows smoothly.
It is not a strong sake.
It is not without flavor, but it has no peculiarities.
In a good sense, it is a sake that goes in easily.
Since it is 13%, it goes down even more easily.
The cup gets empty very easily.
In no time at all, the cup is full.
Combined with a cup of komai (rice), it was a smooth evening drink.
Chilled.
Soft mouthfeel with an initial sugar cane creaminess that moves quickly to a vodka like dryness. The nose moves to a nice floral / melon mix.
75/100 above average.
