A gift. 70% polished rice
Odorless. It has a dry taste in the mouth.
It is very refreshing when paired with bonito sashimi. It is an amazing sake that changes its taste depending on the presence or absence of snacks.
The 47th home drinking in 2024 🍶.
Tokachi from Kamikawa Daisetsu, Hokkaido. This is my first brand for drinking at home! Kamikawa Daisetsu Brewery has three breweries, and the sake made at the Hekiun Brewery in Tokachi is sold under the brand name "Tokachi" 🧐.
The sake rice is a comet produced in Hokkaido☄️ and is somewhere in between sweet and spicy or light and dark. It has quite a lot of umami and a slightly tangy aftertaste that you can drink all the time without getting sick of it🍶I quite liked this type of sake. 🙆♂️

Tokachi has a lot of dry sake, but the summer sake has a little sourness to it.
The spiciness and bitterness is controlled.

Sake from the Hekiun Brewery of the Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery in Hokkaido. It has a fresh, crisp taste, good acidity, well-balanced sweetness, spiciness, and bitterness. The price is a little high, but it is a delicious sake.
