A slightly unusual sake with a QR code that allows you to check the rice and brewing method by drinking the sake. It has a sour taste and is easy to drink and goes well with meals.
Purchased at a local liquor store. It is a sparkling & nigori (cloudy & cloudy) sake with a sweetness that is typical of nama-zake. It is easy to drink and a bottle goes quickly.
A souvenir from a trip to East Hokkaido. It is a locally brewed sake from Nemuro, and although it is traditionally made, it goes well with fish dishes.
Another brand from a sake brewery in the area of production. It is so effervescent that the first bubbles erupt, rather dry, and tastes great when drunk chilled. New discovery.
This is one of the last bottles from this year's Wadaya Hanpukai meeting. It has been a while since I drank a Kaze no Mori, but I remembered how impressed I was when I first drank it. As the temperature rises a bit, it becomes more flavorful.
A souvenir from Karuizawa. At first it seems sweet, but as time goes by, it becomes well-balanced and easy to drink. It is a sake that can be enjoyed with a meal.
A bottle from the Wadaya Hanpukai. Rebranded last year, the label is old-fashioned, but the taste is fresh and current. The alcohol content is low at 13%, making it easy to drink.
