This ogara-mi sake is made from local food rice "Haenuki". The opening was gentle, but the carbonation was lively enough to make the pour soar. Fruity aroma with a hint of apple. The negative sake level made me imagine it would have a sweet taste, but it had not only sweetness, but also carbonation, grape-like acidity, and a bitter aftertaste that kept the sake flowing. The flavor and richness of ori (rice powder) is also to my liking. It is also very cosy, and I thought about buying it again, but it was sold out.
We enjoyed it while looking at the hina dolls still on display according to the lunar calendar.
