Drinking a bottle of Kangiku's Discovery series. The theme is to explore the charms and possibilities of Chiba rice.
The sake quality design of each sake is almost the same, so the characteristics of each rice are said to be well expressed.
Kangiku Meikozo is interesting because they use rice from different regions of Japan with different concepts and ideas for each product.
This one is named "blue sapphire" because the toji (master brewer) carefully managed the unrefined rice as if he were handling a jewel while being conscious of the balance with Yamadanishiki, using the corporate color blue as a reference to Kangiku's main rice "Gohyakumangoku".
With the theme of jewelry, it is brewed to have an elegant, delicate taste and smooth texture.
A light nigori sake suitable for summer. It has a clear umami flavor and a mild sweetness. The lingering aftertaste is pleasant. I paired it with a rich meat dish, but it would have been better if I had paired it with a more refreshing, light dish.
With this, we have now conquered two of the four products. Looking forward to the rest!
