This sake is made by Imanishi Seibei Shoten in Nara. It is said to be a sealed sake, something that only selected breweries can produce! The label is cool and sparkling!
The name comes from the fact that the gods came to Kasuga-taisha Shrine in Nara riding on a deer. Incidentally, there is a sake called "Aki-shika" in Osaka, which was named after the first generation of the family, using one character from the harvest season of autumn. There is no direct connection between the two. Well, I digress, but I got a bottle of Harushika!
After opening the bottle, the first aroma is slightly fruity. It has an elegant sweetness. The aroma is not that strong, but rather faint.
In the mouth, a soft sweetness and a slightly strong acidity spread. After that, you can feel the delicious taste of rice spreading. This is delicious!
The slightly strong acidity flows down the back of the throat nicely. Well, it is indeed sealed!
The rice polishing ratio is 55, but the taste is so good that it gives the illusion of being a junmai daiginjo. This is fantastic! And at a reasonable price of about 1,700 yen, it's a good value!
Harushika will probably be the last one this year.
All's well that ends well! Thank you for the delicious sake!
