I found this bottle when I was shopping for a small size sake at a liquor store I frequent.
The fancy packaging, the name "Hako-irimusume," and the location of Fukuoka, which I personally am not familiar with in terms of Japanese sake, and to top it all off, it was selected as an in-flight sake for first class flights! I honestly did not have high expectations for this sake.
I honestly did not have high expectations because of these factors, but I apologize in advance, it was a delicious sake.
I drank it after chilling it in the refrigerator for a day, and my first impression was that it was a crisp sake.
The alcohol and fruity aroma in the mouth are not strong, and although modest for a daiginjo, there is little cloying taste and you can tell that it is a high quality sake.
After it goes down the throat, the alcohol is tangy, and unlike the moment when you drink it, you can feel a little alcohol in the aftertaste.
I would like to drink this with sashimi with strong red meat such as tuna or bonito...
The small size is perfect for light drinking, and although it is 40% polished rice, you can enjoy a daiginjo at a reasonable price (although it is not that much when you consider the quantity). I think it is a very valuable bottle.
