Chokki
Kurokabuto Unfiltered Bottle Enclosure Junmai Ginjo Black Koji Brewing Yamadanishiki 15% 720ml 1760yen
Purchased this sake from the Ikegame Sake Brewery in Kurume on a trip to Fukuoka.
It is made with black malted rice for shochu. It is very robust despite its 15% alcohol content. The label on the back says "Strawberry," which is very obvious! It also has a custard-like sweetness and a dry aftertaste.
It has something in common with Kikusui's canned shochu liquor with sake lees.
Well, I repeat, it is very strawberry. A bargain!
