This sake is brewed by Umeshiki Yamakawa, a subsidiary of the major sake maker Hakutsuru Shuzo. In recent years, Hakutsuru Shuzo has purchased a number of breweries from across Japan. The Aomori-based brewer Momokawa, which uses Hakutsuru Nishiki, is also a subsidiary company of Hakutsuru Shuzo.
Not much of an aroma, slight whiff of alcohol. Dry, watery and clean on the palate, with little umami and a slight alu taste. After drinking it, it has a light throat feeling with a faint sweetness. It is a standard shokuchu sake.
For the snacks, we had stewed kalbi and root vegetables, mussel pickled in soy sauce, chili bonito sakutome, and baby star ramen with the flavor of kondashi. It goes best with sakabuto, which enhances its sweetness.

Good evening.
Momokawa" was originally purchased by a Korean soju maker "Jinro". It is good to see that the local long-established "Momokawa" has returned to a Japanese company from a foreign company.

Momokawa is located in a neighboring prefecture, so I remember seeing a lot of commercials for it on local TV. I didn't know that it was affiliated with the Shinro family... I guess sake breweries have their work cut out for them.
