The next brand name is Rikuwa 132.
Rikuu 132 was produced in 1921 by crossing Kame-no-o and Aikoku rice.
Kenji Miyazawa encouraged the cultivation of this rice because of its resistance to cold damage and good taste.
As is typical of Junmai, it has a slightly strong attack and a strong flavor of rice.
It's also good with fried foods and such, and this one seems to go down a treat. 😅
The first picture is Mr. Kudo, the president of Washinoo.
And the one on the right in the second picture is the owner of Tamura Sake Shop, which is famous in Kuji City.
They usually have drunken whale, rice and agave.
When I first entered the store, I was surprised to learn from someone at the company, "Why is a brand I've only seen on Hasegawa Sake Shop Online normally stocked in a store in Kuji City?" I was surprised. 😱
After this, we had a mooted conversation about craft sake! 😁😁
