Hakui, Ishikawa Prefecture, where the Goso Sake Brewery is located, is in the middle of the Noto Peninsula. It was manufactured this year, so the damage from the earthquake must have been relatively small. I picked it up without a second thought.
The freshness of the unpasteurized sake combined with the rich flavor and acidity typical of Noto sake is a wonderful balance. It suddenly got cold again, so I enjoyed it with oden.
