あきさん
This is a honjozo sake made by the Nishioka Sake Brewery, which is well known for its "Kurei" brand. It seems that "Yukiyanagi" was a major sake in the past, and when you visit the brewery, you will find many old tools with the name of the brewery.
I don't know where else it is distributed other than at the brewery's store, as it is not available at the chain supermarkets near Kure Station. I bought a bottle at the end of the trip for about 2,200 yen, I think.
It is dry but has a slightly floral mouthfeel. When heated up, it has a more floral aroma and a dry aftertaste. It is also good to drink it cold.
