Purchased at a liquor store.
Kakuemon, a polar bear with an impressive label that is sometimes seen at liquor stores in summer, is the first hiyaoroshi sake I will drink. Other than Kakuemon, I am impressed by Izumihashi's Summer Yago, Kankoubai's Penguin, and Sengoku's Kabutomushi.
I first learned that this is the same sake brewery as Fukukomachi, which I drank some time ago.
The rarity of this sake is high in the Kansai region.
Cold sake.
Gorgeous aroma.
It has a mouthfeel like Akita's local sake. It has an elegant flavor with a glossy sheen, but the end is quite sharp. The aftertaste is long.
Suitable for intermediate-level sake drinkers.
