I have drunk Hakkaisan before, but this may be my first time drinking a standard sake. I found it to be quite spicy when drunk chilled, but you may be able to taste its true flavor at room temperature.

Hachinohe's summer nigori sake. Although it is nigori sake, the alcohol content is the same as regular sake at 15 degrees. It has a slightly peculiar aftertaste, which may or may not be to the liking of the drinker. I didn't like it.
（The aftertaste disappeared as I drank it, so my initial discomfort may have been my imagination. I felt a peculiar bitterness. It does not mean that it is not tasty.
