Yamatogawa Junmai Ginjō Kasui Utabandai

This sake is the epitome of jizake: not only is it made of ingredients grown in the vicinity of the brewery, but it is also only sold at the Michi-no-Eki Urabandai in Kitashiobara. However, we were lucky to find a batch at the local Seven-Eleven. The name "Kasui Utabandai" 「佳き酔 歌磐梯」 is derived from the eponymous song featured in the movie "Ohara Shosuke-san" (小原庄助さん, 1949). This Junmai Ginjo does not have an intense aroma. It is full-bodied, refreshing, and slightly dry. It is very delectable and easy to indulge in.
