This is a raw sake brewed with flower yeast from Tsukishita Bijin, a sake brewed by Ibaraki Sake Brewery in Akashi City. It was a little schwarziness when opened in the mouth, and although I am not sure about the flower yeast, it was a delicious sake with a slightly dry taste.

It was sold at a supermarket for 500 yen. The label says that it is made by Symphony Yoshida Brewery, a joint venture between Symphony Brewery of Hong Kong and Yoshida Brewery of Hakuryu. The sake is apparently made for export, but why in a Japanese supermarket? It was a delicious sake with a strong acidity and a good rice flavor. I felt special to be able to drink such a sake at such a low price.
