Rice used is Yamadanishiki
It is quite a popular local product and seems to disappear as soon as it is released.
It has a clear mouthfeel and goes well with Japanese food. ❗️
The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (6)
The booth of Kunimei from Hokkaido.
◉Kokunikare Special Junmai Sake
Standard sake. It has a nice flavor, but it's very refreshing and goes well with seafood.
◉Masuge's famous sake Kuniume
A 900-bottle sake with a 65% rice polishing ratio.
It has a good acidity, sweetness, full flavor and mellowness, and is a good value for money.
◉Kunimare Junmai Ginpu Kunimare
A refreshing mid-meal sake with a hint of acidity.
◉Hokkaido Limited Junmai Ginjo
A refreshing sake with a mild acidity and a light, refreshing taste. Not too much sake.
◉Hokkaido Limited Junmai Daiginjo
A very elegant, clean, sweet sake with a tangy aftertaste. The aftertaste is piquant. I know you said it can be drunk on its own, but I think I'd like a little more impact.
The brewer said that in Hokkaido, the main snacks are seafood, and there are many light, light food sake, but this was almost like a food sake.
Kuniumare is the sake of choice.
The attack is light, the aroma and the mouthfeel are clean and refreshing, and it is a drink that will not bore the sake drinker.
It comes in a 5-ounce bottle, which is rare for sake. The price of 1,000 yen is too good to be true.
This sake is made from "Ginpu", a sake rice suitable for sake brewing produced in Hokkaido. Compared to Kuniumare Junmai Daiginjo, this sake has more of the flavor of rice. Personally, I prefer this one.
I received this as a souvenir from a festival in Mashike. It was a limited edition sake and amaebi (sweet shrimp). Kitashizuku is 65% polished rice. It was very tasty when slightly cooler than room temperature because it had a strong acidity if it was too cold. It is aromatic and goes well with amaebi sashimi. The miso soup with shrimp broth was also delicious!
