This is a gem of a bottle that was left on the sparse shelves due to reduced shipments. It has a round, mild sweetness and flavor. It has a refreshing aftertaste with a light acidity.
Sake I hadn't purchased in a while, a refrigerator at my favorite liquor store, and an inspiring label I found. I was torn between the summer sakes already on the shelf, but I chose this one because I thought it was still too early. It has a mild aroma, sweet and sour, and umami flavor.
I went looking for Noto sake, but there was none, so this is Ishikawa sake. It has a classical flavor with a hint of malted rice. It is said to go well with jibe-ni (stewed vegetables), but tonight we had sukiyaki. It also goes well with sukiyaki.
A sake brewery in Suwa planned to build a brewery in Hachioji, and this sake was brewed with Hachioji sake rice. It has a rich sweet and umami flavor, and the high alcohol content (17%) is not too much. The sake has a very high alcohol content (17%), but the sake has both a hara-shu character and a hiya-oshi character.
I was torn between Miyamanishiki and Hitogochiki in the store's refrigerator, but I followed the lead of a later visitor who chose this one without hesitation and brought it to the cash register. It was a good choice, with a full aroma, sweetness, and round flavor.
