December 2019, at Tora Vigilante in Shibuya, one of six drinks I had with friends to close out the year. The brewery is Senkin Co. in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture. The clear bottle has a stylish design with a snowy landscape of nigori (nigori) sake. I have had this sake before, but it has been a long time since I had it again. Because of the foaming, a hole is drilled in the cap to release the gas. http://senkin.co.jp/
