November 2018, as the fifth drink of the day at Shibuya's Tiger's Bird's Nest.
This sake, with its impressive illustration of a large snowman, is one of the brands of Senkou, a brand of Senkin Co. in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture (search for "snowman" and you'll find many articles about it).
Because it comes in a transparent bottle rather than a label, the snowman looks stylish and cute standing in the background against the white of the nigori sake.
Because of its effervescent nature, there is a vent hole in the cap, and the introductory articles in sake stores and other stores say that it is not suitable for gift-giving because of the possibility of leakage. If stored at room temperature, it seems that it may spurt out through the hole.
*From the ingredients and rice polishing ratio, it is equivalent to Junmai Daiginjo, but since there is no indication on the bottle, no tag is attached.
