Ibaraki Sake
Hikoichi Arago Unfiltered Nama
This sake is made by the Tsuki no I Sake Brewery in Oarai-cho, Ibaraki Prefecture. Recently, Getsui Sake Brewery was featured on NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and became well known. All the sake rice is made in Oarai. The aroma is only slightly fresh. It is fresh, but has a traditional bitterness and alcohol taste. This is not my favorite sake. I tried heating it up with some freshly bought chirori. The freshness and the alcohol feeling disappeared, and the taste became more rounded. It seems to go well with strong flavored snacks.
I was going to drink it at a camping trip with a friend who likes dry sake, but it was postponed. Too bad.
Degree of liking 6/10
