The brewery is located in Kusatsu, Shiga Prefecture, but they also have a brewery in Nada, and this sake was brewed at the Chiyoda Brewery in Nada.
The Shiga brewery's brand name is Doukan, but some of the sake made in Nada also call themselves Doukan, so it's a bit complicated...
The rice is Fukunohana from Hyogo Prefecture. A Chiyoda brewer who visited my neighborhood liquor store once told me that only Chiyoda brewery and Fukumitsuya (Kagatobi) in Ishikawa always use Fukunohana.
It was light nigori, but it was cloudy, gassy, and shuffling more than the Hamachidori I saw earlier. It's a refreshing sweet and sour sake.
But there was something off-flavorful and uncomfortable about it. It smells unpleasant, like disinfectant. If it were not for that, it would be a very tasty sake.

bouken, I'm sorry to bother you here as well💦.
I didn't know that Ota Sake Brewery has other brands besides Doukan. And they have a brewery in Nada too 😳 That's a new one for me! Still, I'm sorry about the smell 😢.

Hi Ponchan 😃
In Hyogo, I have more chances to meet Chiyoda brewery's sake than Shiga's Doukan 😊.
I've never compared the taste but I heard it's a completely different type of taste too 😁 the smell 😭.
