gomibako
It is said to be a product limited to Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture.
It does not have much aroma, little grueliness, and a slight taste of rice. It has a rich but clean aftertaste.
Not exactly my favorite, but delicious.
It tastes like a more refined version of the sake my grandfather used to drink...
And it is cheap!
No wonder it is popular among the locals for their evening drinks. (A bottle costs about 2,000 yen).
