ひえだの
I was originally going to buy Tokachi at a certain liquor store in Tokyo, but they told me that there was a slightly rare Tokachi sake in the grab bag, so I bought it.
I was told that Comet itself is not widely available, but especially the raw sake version is hard to find in Tokyo.
I was excited to finally be able to drink sake from Hokkaido, using Comet, a local rice. I was excited.
The aroma was fruity and melon-like.
The color was clear and clean with almost no cloudiness.
When I put it in my mouth, the complexity of the taste touched my tongue and I was scared. This is delicious...!
First of all, the sweetness of the rice comes first, like a comet (not the sake rice), and fills the mouth with its aroma. After that, a cute bitterness comes and finishes the whole taste. The melon aroma and taste catches up with it. It is a wonderful sake.
There is only a hint of gas. The acidity is well-balanced, and you can't help but keep drinking it.
I think Tokachi's Junmai is also reasonably priced, so I'll buy it next time I see it. I'm also curious about the other sake from Kamikawa Daisetsu Brewery, so maybe I'll take a weekend trip to Hokkaido again... (I went to Hokkaido for 10 weekends last year...)
