Characterized by the sweetness, depth and acidity of rice, it is white wine-like.

The sweetness of the rice is well perceived. A little sourness.

Not too bad, not too bad. A little rice sweetness. I was attracted by the 100% Yamadanishiki, but...

No outstanding characteristics. The acidity in the aftertaste does not match.
While "Kamikawa Taisetsu" brewed at the Midorigaoka Brewery uses ultra-soft brewing water and has a soft and delicate taste, the brewing water used at the Hekiun Brewery, where "Kamikawa Tokachi" is brewed, is a medium-hard water with a rich mineral taste, making it a Tokachi style "drinkable sake" with a strong and drinkable flavor and sharp taste.
Kamikawa Taisetsu [Tokachi].
In 2016, the sake brewing company that had ceased production in Mie Pref.
Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery was established in 2016 by relocating the brewery from Mie Prefecture to Kamikawa-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido.
The first brand "Kamikawa Taisetsu" is brewed by Mr. Shinji Kawabata, a master brewer who won various awards including a gold medal at the National New Sake Competition, using Hokkaido's best rice for sake brewing at Kinjitake Shuzo, also in Hokkaido, and was created under the concept of "Yummasaru-shu*," which is made with ingredients produced in Hokkaido and can be easily combined as a mid-meal drink.
The word "Yumemasaru" is a word in the Hokkaido dialect meaning "to drink easily".
The family crest on the label is the symbol of Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery, which represents the five tastes of sake: sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent, based on the design motif of the character for "big" in Daisetsuzan, beautiful snow, and an Ainu pattern.

This special junmai sake is brewed using the tomizu brewing method that was practiced in the Edo period (1603-1868), which is very rare in Japan. Yamadanishiki and Ginbuki, grown under contract in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, where the brewery is located, are used as the raw materials for this sake. This limited edition sake has a concentrated rice flavor that will surprise you with its density of flavor in the mouth. The juicy flavor spreads throughout the palate with a viscosity that makes you feel a viscous sensation, and this is a bottle that will delight you with its richness. Despite its richness, the bright acidity covers the entire wine evenly, so it is not heavy, and the richness and lightness are beautifully fused. Haginoroh Tokubetsu Junmai Jusui Jyunmai Amadare Ishi wo Utsu (Amadare Ishi wo Utsu) Nama-zake is a transparent, sweet sake that can be enjoyed to the fullest. We hope you will try it for yourself for its rich and refreshing flavor, which is different from that of ordinary sake.
