Kinkame by Okamura Honke in Toyosato-cho, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
A sake brewery that makes all of its sake by hand, using the old-fashioned wooden sack pressing method.
The summer sake has 60% rice polishing ratio and 17% alcohol content, which is a little high, but the taste is so light that you do not feel the alcohol content of 17%.
Since it is a summer sake, it is recommended to be chilled and served with soda, but I tried it on the rocks.
