Purchased at a supermarket in Takayama City. Also sold at the brewery.
It is made from 100% Yamadanishiki.
Like Kyokusiden, it is sold in single-batch bottles.
It has a fruity aroma and an easy-drinking balance of sourness and sweetness in the mouth.
The design and color of the label may be different.
Purchased at a local supermarket. I have a weakness for tags that say "super-limited" or "special order. I immediately drank it at home. The mouthfeel is sweet and round. It is sweet and round on the palate with a strong sense of umami. I thought it would be dry, so I was surprised. The aftertaste is tightened by a bitter taste. It is delicious.

Silent when opened
No gas feeling
Slight aroma of melon and rice malt
The same fruity aroma as the first sip, the smooth sweetness and umami of the rice spreads out with a soft acidity, and it finishes with a slight bitterness.
The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is soft and harmonious, and the spiciness peeks out in the latter half, giving the impression of being firm.
It goes well with yellowtail and tuna sashimi, grated yam on rice, butterbur, chicken and fried bean curd stew, and dry chorizo.

Last weekend I went to Takayama for fun. During my visit, I went to Watanabe Sake Brewery in Hida City and bought a bottle. It is a limited edition sake and the rice used is Hida Hidahomare. It is sweet, fruity, and easy to drink. Yesterday was the anniversary of my marriage, and I entered the family register 30 years ago on 777. By the way, my daughter was registered on June 6, 2024. Today, on the anniversary of our registry, we enjoyed drinking Hida sake together with Hida beef barbeque for 2,750 yen.
A little summer ☀️ rest as I have a lot of work to do next week and some tests on my body. Kombujime flounder and sushi 🍣 from the best fish shop 🐟 nearby! Summer vegetable salad with mini cucumber🥒 and water eggplant🍆 from Senshu!
