Echigo de Dori Red Label.

Echigo de Dori Red Label.

Hakkai Brewing Company's freshly squeezed raw sake. There are blue and red labels. The difference is the rice polishing ratio. This is the Daiginjo version released last December. The rice polishing ratio is 45%, and the type of sake rice and koji are unknown. The alcohol content is 17.5%, which is somewhat low for a pure sake. Other specs are unknown, but the sake has a Sake meter of about +3 and a medium acidity level, giving it a slightly acidic taste.
If Chichibu-Nishiki's sake, which will be introduced later, is a heavy sake, this is a light sake.
I actually drank one that I purchased shortly after it went on sale, but the flavor was still clumpy and scattered. After about 2 months, it has settled down and the flavor is coming together. The liquor store near me often lets it sit for a year or so, but I still think it tastes better after a year.
The purchase price was about 2,000 yen, at Super Harashin in Muikamachi.
