From a sake brewery in Hirado, where the sea spreads out before your eyes, you can feel the "breath of the sea" in this bottle.
It is bottled directly from the bottle after being pressed at the CSW only, and the freshness of the freshness is irresistible! The light aroma reminds one of green apples and white grapes, and the refreshing acidity bursts on the palate. The gasiness is exquisite, and the crisp finish is reminiscent of a sea breeze.
The light body makes it easy to drink, but the umami of Yamadanishiki can be felt well, and one can sense the skill and passion of the brewery. The balance of aroma and sweetness is good, and lightness and depth coexist in the taste.
The concept of sake that reminds one of the sea was perfectly realized in this sake, which was as gentle and pleasant as a spring haze.
Last Thursday, we went on a brewery tour to Fukuda Shuzo, the westernmost brewery in Japan that brews Fukkai!
It is rare that the public can visit the brewery😊.
I had been wanting to visit Hirado for a while, so I went sightseeing before heading to the brewery 🚗.
There was still some of the limited edition sake from last week's brewery opening still left, so I took it as a souvenir for myself!
Cold sake
The aroma is mild.
Slightly gassy feeling on the tongue
The moderate rice flavor comes quickly.
The taste may be a little stronger than the standard one.
The taste reminds me of the sea in front of the brewery depicted on the label.
The first time I tried it, I was surprised by the fizzy feeling! It is a very interesting sake. The coolness is the winner. It's dangerous to drink it too fast.
Aroma is thin and clear Pitchy and acid Taste is slight aroma and sweetness, light cloudy-like bitterness and sharpness Aftertaste of soda water Strong impression of clearness Delicious and strange when eaten with bananas
A bottle specially ordered by Fukuhara Sake Shop in Taito-ku, Tokyo: ❗️
The aroma is fresh and fruity, like green apples 🍏.
The mouthfeel has a fizzy, bubbly sensation that can only come from direct pumping 🤤.
The juicy flavor is filled with a beautiful minerality like spring water 😋.
You can also feel the crispness from the beginning, and towards the end, the process of gradually changing to a pleasant bitterness is also wonderfully designed. ❗️
Fukkai indeed: ‼️
Delicious 🤤🤤🤤.
Sweet water!
But it's not sticky, and it's refreshing!
Also, it's a proper alcoholic beverage.
It's often compared to spodum or fruit, but it's not.
It's actually alcohol!
And yet it's not too alcoholic and easy to drink!
As expected from Fukkai, it is very good!
I went to the opening of the Fukuda Sake Brewery,
I went to the Fukuda Sake Brewery's brewery open house.
The freshness of the freshly brewed sake was irresistible.
We received 5 kg of sakekasu (sake lees) for free.
Thank you for your comment, Chesta.
Fukuda Sake Brewery is anyway far away.
I was tired because I had to go from one end of Hirado Island to the other.
By the way, Mori Shuzo (Hiran) is one week away and close to the brewery, so I recommend it.
