Fancy and cute packaging but very tasty and robust sake. You can taste the flavor of rice. It tastes like a combination of amazake and calpis. I drink it very much ¨.
I bought this bottle at a liquor store in Murakami after listening to the owner's explanation. It is only available in Murakami and only here. The Shikumo label is also a non-regional sake, but this one is the only ginjo-shu they make.
The eye-catching package reads "Boshi woman working in Hokuetsu," and I wondered what a boshi was. I wondered. I drank it, imagining that the sake was probably made with a lot of thought and care, given the name. It is a ginjo with a strong sake flavor that is as good as salmon in sake-bitashi. It is a taste that can be enjoyed without anything else and that makes me want to drink it in winter.
Junmai Ginjo brewed with Gohyakumangoku, which the toji himself grew in his own rice paddies. This is a limited edition sake made by Mr. Masayuki Hirata, who is certified as a "Zengikuren Meister".
Polishing ratio 60%, 100% Ihyakumangoku
Mellow umami, gentle sweetness. It also has a dry taste in the middle. We also have Torajiro, a Saba tiger that we got at the SA and brought to our house.
A light, dry special honjozo. The name comes from its predecessor brewery, Matsunodew. It is made with yeast for ginjo-shu and is said to be as clear as morning dew. It is a strong, clear, and dependable sake that is delicious with handmade salmon soaked in sake by a grandfather in Murakami.

The acidity and the sake flavor coexist well. It is like a sake white wine, and the package is true to its name. It would go well with Japanese potato salad or other light snacks.
