Iwakikotobukiイーストトラベラー「参」純米吟醸
くぅねるNo. 3 yeast.
In the late Meiji period, when the Russo-Japanese War broke out, heavy taxes were imposed. The people were forced to live in hardship.
Ten years later, in 1914, World War I began.
While some people enjoyed a wealthy life thanks to the booming economy of the Great War, others had to live a hard and difficult life again due to soaring prices.
This led to a buildup of dissatisfaction among the citizens.
It is hard to believe now, but the victory over Russia in the Russo-Japanese War awakened the people's ego as a first-class nation.
They began to demand politics and society befitting a first-class country, and social movements were launched in search of more equality and freedom.
That is the Taisho Democracy.
That is Taisho Democracy.
Well, what constitutes Taisho democracy?
No, I was talking about No. 3 yeast.
In 1914, Kyokai No. 3 yeast was supplied by Drunken Heart in the Taisho era.
However, it was discontinued in the early Showa period (1926-1989) because it degenerated.
That makes sense.
I put it in my mouth while thinking about such a thing.
Is this Kyokai No. 3?
The aftertaste is peculiar in a good sense.
It certainly has an image of the old days.
Drinking sake with a sense of the historical background of the times is also very special.
