As it is a nama sake, one would expect a freshness to hit the taste buds, but it is rather subdued. The acidity is surprisingly subdued, and the flavor is so rich that the sweetness may be a bit tart compared to the hi-ire version.

This is a limited edition sake sold only at a certain store in Hachinohe. The aroma, which is typical of red-label sake, is intact, and the directly pumped raw sake is rather refreshing and easy to drink, although one might expect it to be strong.

It has a peculiar sourness like a sake yeast yeast yeast, but it settles down when the bottle is opened and left to mature. It has a good balance of sweet and spicy.
