Tacky
This junmai-shu is sold only in the Tokachi area (produced by Hekikumo brewery). The brewer, Mr. Kawabata, calls it "a sake to be drunk in a glass", and he is right. It is a sake to drink when you are happy and want to make a fuss. The first sip is a big hit, the taste is not gorgeous, and the aftertaste is bitter. However, the aftertaste is not bad.
Kamikawa Daisetsu Shuzo sells a similar regional junmai sake in Kamikawa and Aibetsu, but the taste is completely different (Midorigaoka brewery).
The price of Kamikawa Daisetsu Shuzo sake differs from shop to shop. The cheapest is at the direct sales shop in Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine.
