Rice polishing ratio: Not disclosed
Alcohol: 14.5

When the bottle is opened, it is a little gassy.
A little gassy
Slight melon yogurt-like top-up
The same slightly gorgeous aroma as the first sip, soft rice flavor and sweetness spreads with lactic acidity and a hint of gassiness, and finishes with a slight bitterness.
Although it is quite nigori, it has a fine texture and a moderate aroma, and the bitterness is controlled and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
It is easy to pair with a meal, and is delicious on its own as well.
Goes well with Sara Udon noodles.

Good evening, Masaaki Sapporo 😃.
I'm interested in Garakudai because it is promoted at many liquor stores in my area.
I'm not sure which brand of Niigata sake I want to try first 😄.

Masaaki Sapporo-san, good evening. The scene of Emperor Juntoku standing on Sado Island with winter snow falling (apparently) blended in with the real snowy landscape and looked more divine 😊The Gagakuyo's active nigori looks delicious 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌙 Tonight, I paired it with a Solitary Gourmet pacri recipe for stir-fried pork belly and leeks and mapo tofu, and it was refreshingly delicious 😋.

Hi Hirupeko-san, good evening 🌙Garaku here!
It's a bit on the modern side, but it's not too winey and it's very refreshing 😋I would love to visit Tenryo Cup Brewery and Itsumi Brewery if I ever make it to Sado ✨.
