This is the first Hakkaisan type I have seen. Apparently, it is sold only from November to March.
The red label is a junmai ginjo, but this is a honjozo.
The high alcohol content makes it very drinkable. It is dry like Hakkaisan, so the aftertaste is refreshing, unlike the strong attack on the palate.
