Daisetsu Sake Brewery is a recent hot topic in Hokkaido. Kamikawa's Kamikawa! They have a strong love for their hometown and locally you can buy it at a convenience store for 1200 yen, but if you try to buy it in Kanto you won't find it. I've heard rumors about it, but this was my first chance to try it. The taste is refreshing, contrary to my expectations! You can feel the coldness of Hokkaido. The fruit aroma is a bit peachy, but the flavor is light and dry, reminding me of the tequila with lime I drank when I was younger. I enjoyed it with fried horse mackerel as a side dish, but I would have preferred a white meat without more fat. Like sea bream or saki? It's not good enough for salmon or hockey, which are popular in Hokkaido.
