KIHOKU's local sake drinking comparison
1. Waka no Megumi (Sekai Itto)
A Japanese liqueur created by Wakayama, the kingdom of fruit.
POINT

4. Kurumazaka (Yoshimura Hideo Shoten)
This is not a sake drunk at mealtimes but one specifically meant for fish! A ginjo sake that goes well with fish.

Kurumazaka is a delicious and sharp ginjo sake that aims to perfectly pair with the delicious taste of fish. They named such a sake after the hill (saka) that Oguri Hangan supposedly traversed when he headed towards Kumano.
