Kumakichi
We received fireworks by Hato Masamune, a.k.a. "Hato Poppo," which we have been curious about for a long time!
It is a sparkling pure rice sake made with Aomori Prefecture's Hanabukiyuki rice, which is suitable for sake production, and is apparently produced in a limited edition of 920 bottles. The package has a cute dove motif and an illustration of fireworks, making a big impact!
When I tried to open the bottle, there was a sign on the cap that said "Caution when opening the bottle"... I opened the bottle with trepidation, and although there was no spillage, I had to pour it slowly.
The taste was a bottle that popped when poured into the glass, and although the aroma was subdued, the milky sweetness of the rice and unique lactic acid taste cut through beautifully in the mouth.
In the hot summer, I would like to drink it chilled, but it has an alcohol content of 15%, so I enjoyed it with a sip.
Rice polishing ratio: 60% (100% Hanabukiyuki rice)
Alcohol content: 15%.
