LIBROM Lemom Verbena
During my trip, I stopped by a liquor store that handled a few different kinds of wine. I thought they were all interesting because I could taste the flavors of the ingredients. The one I bought had lemon verbena in it. It was effervescent, with a strength of 10, and easy to drink, with a sweetness and dryness that comes from the effervescence.
Craft saké requires the inclusion of ingredients that are different from sake ingredients in the production process, so the company has been thinking outside of the box and has released a variety of products one after the other with this as the main feature.
The price is quite reasonable at 2,600 yen for 500 ml including tax. The price is for people who receive receipts and can write it off as an expense. It is probably not something that the general public drinks on a daily basis.
I think the price is fair since the business seems to be successful with small-scale production and selling out unique and tasty products, but craft saké is generally priced quite high. Craft beers such as Yona Yona and Spring Valley are mass-produced and widely known for their reasonable prices, but craft saké is different from the background of its establishment, so I don't think it will be popularized among the general public.
However, if you go to a region, it would be nice to have a sake unique to that region. I guess that is the stance of this type of sake.
