Purchased at Coop Sapporo in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, on a business trip. This is good! Dry but mild. It is dry but mellow, with a hint of hinoki (Japanese cypress). It's so well balanced! It's a versatile sake! Of course, it has some travel spices. I paired it with kaiseki cuisine at a hot spring ryokan in Noboribetsu. It goes well with sashimi. I tried every other dish that came out, and nothing didn't go well with it. The "Kitayorigai mussels with green vegetables" was a nice dish. The taste of the sake did not fade away even though I was drinking it with various other dishes. This means that this is probably very tasty. It seems to be a Co-op Sapporo exclusive. Is it only available at Co-op Sapporo? It tastes good as a sake, and it has few peculiarities, so it can be easily matched with food. I am very happy when I find such an unexpected and wonderful sake. At any rate, what I can say is that it is not at the level sold in supermarkets. It was about 1,600 yen, but it was well worth the price. I had a saké from the collaborator, Sanzen Sakura Sake Brewery, in Otaru last year.
