Purchased at Hashimoto's in Koshigaya.
100% sake rice "Koshitanrei" is used.
This premium draft Junmai Daiginjo is sold only at stores that carry it and in limited quantities.
It is quite sour and acidic.
The acidity mellows out when the glass is changed to a daiginjo glass.
Sake with a clean taste and refreshing acidity.
Date of manufacture: March 2023
Date of closure: May 20, 2023
Purchased at a local supermarket.
It has an unusual name, but it is because the 888th of 1200 attempts was a good one.
It has a clear rice aroma and an apple-like fruity taste.
The taste is light sweet but with a good strong and refreshing acidity.
Like a green apple.
The sweetness spreads when you chew it well in your mouth.
I paired it with sushi, but it might have been better with fatty meat or something.

Commemorating the return of home drinking. Although it was not labeled as a summer sake, it was a refreshing sake with a strong acidity, perfect for summer.
