Purchased in Obihiro when I went back home for Obon.
It has just the right amount of sweetness and is very good as a food sake!
I remember Tokachi-Haru used to be made by Tanaka Sake Brewery in Otaru a long time ago, but it was replaced by Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery before I knew it. Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery has recently improved its quality (it used to be too weak and watery), and even though the brewer has changed, it is still my favorite brand!
Last week was hard work and no drinking 😮💨 midweek, but today I'll take a break and have some sake 🍶.
As winter is approaching, I will have another Kamikawa Taisetsu today. The aroma is sweet with vanilla and honey with a touch of grape astringency.
The first sip has a spiciness along with sweetness and acidity, and the second half has an astringency that disappears after the first sip. I feel that it is easy to match as a food wine. I have paired it with saikyo yaki, blue cheese, and crab cakes and it is delicious 😊I wish I could eat real crab 🦀✨.
Good morning, MISAMISAO!
Thank you so much for your hard work last week that you can't drink🍀.
You have to recharge your batteries when you can drink even in the middle of the week! Right 😁✨✨
I would love to eat crab 🦀!
Good evening, ma-ki-. Thank you 😭I am relieved to be out of the busyness. I've been holding back on weekdays because my performance at work the next day would go down, but now I've had enough! I've been eating only crab cakes 🍶🦀.
Slight aroma of wooden barrels
Unique taste with aroma of unrefined sake, umami, acidity and astringency.
When paired with cheese, it tastes like wine!
Unique taste but delicious!
Also great with cured ham!
I drank it with Hokkaido cheese.
I thought it was too sour before I ate the cheese, but after eating it with cheese, the sourness disappeared and I could taste the flavor.
Delicious 😋.
Today we will have the WITH CHEESE series from Kamikawa Daisetsu.
It seems to be a sake that tastes great when paired with cheese. The aroma is sour with lactic acidity. It has a sour, acidic, and delicious taste that disappears nicely in the mouth. It is delicious with blue cheese and parmigiano cheese. 😋It is more delicious when paired with something acidic and full-bodied.
I would also like to try it with pizza and burritos 🍕bono✨.
Hi, missamisao 😃.
I'm curious about this drink but haven't had it yet... I guess it's better with strong tasting cheese than light cheese... I want to try the burrito 🌯!
Good evening, ichiro18. I was also curious about this and tried it and it was perfect with cheese 🧀It seemed to go well with cheese on tomatoes and such 😊I will try it again when I find it!

When I went on a trip to Nasu Highlands
I happened to see a sake that goes well with cheese at Imadeya's main store in order to enjoy the cachocavallo I bought!
The sake had a strong rice aroma with a slightly sour taste. I tried it cold, but the milk of the cheese stood out and was very tasty!
Now I want to warm it up a bit and have it with potatoes and raclette. ☺️
