I bought it at a supermarket in Numata, but I guess it is not easily distributed outside of the prefecture.
It is a firm sake, typical of Gunma. As is typical of highly polished junmai (pure rice), there is a hint of fruit and flowers in the aroma. It has a sweetness and umami that comes out when it is lukewarm or more, which is typical of Gunma, and I think it would go well with motsu-ni (stewed pork), pork dishes, mushrooms, and wild vegetables.
Freshly pounded rice cake, lime, green bamboo, pear, lime tree, slight apple
