Higashinada Shuzo is a sake brewery near the sea in Katsuura, Minami-Boso. It is quite a long-established brewery, having been founded in the Keio period. They also have a brand name, Bonito Masamune, named after the famous product of Katsuura Port.
It was too hot, so I went out to Katsuura, which is known for its cool sea breeze, and bought a bottle. It is called "Narumi" and reads "Naruka". As I was warned when I bought it, "It will spew! I was warned when I bought it that it would spew!" It is a second fermentation, fizzy nigori sake. It is a summer sake with a slightly dry taste, but its beautiful acidity and bitterness, like grapefruit, give it a refreshing impression. It is considered to be a cold sake only.
The third picture is the shining sea of Katsuura.

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby! Katsuura is indeed a nice place, a bit cooler and the famous Katsuura tantanmen is delicious. It's a bit far though...
