うぴょん（豊盃こそ至高）
Rice: Aomori Prefecture rice
Rice polishing ratio 55/60
Alcohol content 16%.
Hachinohe Shuzo was the first sake brewer to start producing this sake. I drank it while wondering how it differs from Hachisen. The soft water unique to Aomori makes it smooth on the palate. However, as one would expect from Otokoyama, it has a heavy weight that hits you hard as soon as you start drinking. The taste of rice is subtle, but it is heavy. However, the heaviness faded in the latter half of the bottle, and by the end, the acidity, which is typical of Hachisen, was light and easy to drink. It is heavy, but that being said, it is an easy-drinking bottle.
