Junsei Short-stalked Boat, Junmai, Wooden Oke Brewing R4BY
Wooden bucket brewing requires a lot of time and effort for maintenance and quality control of the sake brewing process!
This sake is brewed in such wooden vats using contract-cultivated, super-soft sake rice called "Short-stalked Watabune (Watabune No. 2)" produced in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, and soft water nurtured by the topography of Banshu, using the "Namo Hashiwazukuri" method, which has been handed down since the Edo period, to "nurture lactic acid bacteria that live in the brewery and brew"! This is a junmai sake brewed in the "ikuhashi-zukuri" method!
This is a sake that can only be made with today's "Fukyu-Nishiki".
Some people may get the impression that the aroma is strong like that of sake made in a barrel, but it is not a new barrel, so you can only feel the gentle texture of the sake.
The impression is sharp, crisp, and dry, with a full-bodied calmness and concentrated rice flavor, perhaps due to the wooden vat brewing process!
It is well-balanced with a pleasantly light acidity, and can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, making it perfect as a mealtime sake.

On this day, Danna's nephew came to Nara for a visit, so we opened the second bottle of 🐰 at a banquet with his relatives.
I'm a lover of Aizan, so I kept it in the fridge for half a year or so 😅.
Aizan sake has a beautiful image with a lot of sweet and sour, but this is the first time I've ever tasted a sake made from a traditional yeast yeast yeast yeast ✨.
I also like Junsei sake because it has a good balance of clarity and umami while still having a nama yeastiness 💕
Aizan is produced in Kasai city with 60% polished rice and 16% Alc.
This sake was also delicious, but I thought Aizan might be better as a fast brew for my taste.
The third school is a showdown between Junsei and Hanzo.

Pair it with my favorite sake, Torotaku!
Knowledge
Junsei" is unfiltered sake, meaning that the pressed sake is not filtered before bottling. The pressed sake is transferred to a tank and left to settle out the oli. The supernatant is then bottled as "junsei. Naturally, some of the oli remains at the bottom of the tank. One day, I poured some into a glass to see what was happening with the oli. The cage glistened and sparkled like a star shining in the night sky. This is the origin of the name "Galaxy.
Sake with a strong but pleasantly sweet aroma.
Delicious junsei with a slight tanginess on the palate, but soft and easy to drink.
This was the first time for me to try it, so I went for the regular one, but I may try a different one next time.
Aizan.
A sake from Hyogo, named after the artist of today's concert.
Sweetness and fizziness swell.
The richness of the sake's traditional sake yeast is slightly mellowed by the orikara flavor.
