Hachioh from Ecchu Yatsuo.
It is a 78% polished rice, 18% raw sake, so we were looking forward to opening it... and it did not disappoint with its rich but subdued flavor.
It is not flashy, but it is not fussy, and most importantly, you don't feel the alcohol content at all, so it goes on and on and on.
When warmed to lukewarm, it is even clearer, and the acidity is a nice touch.
This is the kind of sake that makes me happy...although I tend to drink too much of it.
