koge2
It is a sake that should be called sake fortified, but with added sugar. The alcohol content is over 20 degrees Celsius, so it is treated as a miscellaneous sake.
It is made from "Reihou" rice, which was once the third largest rice planted in Japan (apparently). It is said to be a low-cost rice used for sake brewing in northern Kyushu.
The sweetness is like drinking sugar water, but the high alcohol content makes it dangerous. It leaves a grapey aftertaste.
