I bought this souvenir for myself at a roadside station for drinking in my room. It is sweeter and more umami than I expected. It is indeed a junmai ginjo. I thought this brand was dry, but it has this kind of finish. I think it is a dry type of sweetness. It tastes like it was made a long time ago. Anyway, it is delicious!
The only brewery we stopped by during our trip to Hokkaido was Hekiun Brewery in Obihiro by Kamikawa Taisetsu. This brewery is located on the grounds of the new Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine ✨.
I was attracted by the shop's limited edition sake and bought a bottle of the draft. I was in the middle of a trip, so it arrived yesterday via courier😍.
The aroma is subtle and banana-like. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, with a clean sweet and sour taste that spreads in the mouth. The finish is dry and refreshing. The minerality is also very refreshing and you can gobble it up 👍.
On the second day, the nose has a dense sweetness (like Murayu) with a hint of sourness, but it is not too sweet because of the sourness ✨.
It's easy to drink and I can see why it's so popular!
Good evening ichiro18😄It's rare to find a sake brewery in a university! I can't leave without buying the store limited draft sake 👌I've seen Tokachi but haven't had it yet...💦Maybe I'll buy some next time 🤔.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama 😃.
The president of a famous sake brewery graduated from the brewing science department of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, so I wonder if that's part of it 🤔I've seen it too, but I wouldn't have picked it up unless I had a chance to 😅.
Good evening, ichiro18!
Good trophies from your trip to Hokkaido: ⤴️
I can't pass by it when you say it's a "Fat Fat Fat Fat" only 😁✨✨.
I'll have to try more Hokkaido sake! It makes me want to try more and more Hokkaido sake 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki.
Yes, I'm a sucker for limited editions, so even if I think this one tastes better, I can't pass it by because it's a special occasion 😅and actually, I have another one too🤣ma-ki, you should try it too!
Good evening ichiro18😍I am a big fan of Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery! I went to the Midorigaoka brewery this year and both Tokachi and Goryo last year 🩷Goryo seems to have left Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery🧐.
The limited edition brewery is definitely not to be missed 💪I'm looking forward to another bottle 💖.
Good evening, Pekho 😃.
I read your article about camping at the Midorigaoka brewery 😆.
Goryo is away 😳I was jealous of you visiting various breweries based in Midorigaoka 😍I'll be looking for limited editions when I visit the brewery ✨Next time I'm going to try something different!
Purchased directly from the brewery.
It said "with Cheese" so I thought it might be white wine-like... I liked it and bought it!
It smells like rice, but with a miscellaneous taste that goes well with cheese.
I had just bought smoked cheese,
I had just bought some smoked cheese, so when I ate it together, the drink went very well!

The nose is modest, with a slight fruity aroma like that of white wine and a hint of astringent acidity. Slightly fruity aroma like white wine with a hint of astringent acidity.
The texture is slightly thickened.
In the mouth, there is a slight sense of acidity and rice-like umami.
After that, one senses alcohol, white wine-like astringency, acidity, and bitterness, followed by a persistent white wine-like bitterness.
It is exactly a white wine. It is really a white wine. This is amazing.
It is quite light, as is typical of Hokkaido sake. When rolling it around, you can also sense the strength of its umami. It is quite easy to drink, with little bitterness and other unpleasant tastes.
If you want to match it with food, it would be better to drink it sparingly; after the second day, the umami seems to come out a little stronger, so you may want to drink it with something stronger.

The flavor is amazing when drunk warmed.
When paired with cheese, the temperature of the warmed sake melts the cheese and expands the flavor of the cheese many times over.
It is said to be good with white mold and raclette.
