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.
Yoshidaya and Mansho Hanegi Press in Minamishimabara, Nagasaki. Hanegi Shibori is a traditional method of pressing rice with a giant tree called Hanegi. It has a slightly yellowish color, and the mouthfeel is very sharp, but does not leave a lingering aftertaste. It has a good rice flavor and is very much like a Japanese sake.
