Hachikaisan Special Junmai Harusake Nama-Zakari.

Hachikaisan Special Junmai Harusake Nama-Zakari.

I bought my first bottle this season at Hachikura in Nagamori, where Hakkai Brewery is located. It has a clean alcoholic aroma typical of junmai sake, and the taste is still dry, with a slightly sweet aftertaste, probably due to the sake being a pure sake. The price was about 4,000 yen, and all the sales facilities in Nagamori had only one or two cash registers, and since it was a sunny Saturday in the middle of the rainy season, there was a long line to pay. Moreover, the only cashier in the store was marked as a beginner!
