We opened Aizu Summer.
Light and elegant, with a gentle sweetness and a slight bitterness.
It has a nice sharpness and is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking!
When buying Aizu sake, I was attracted by the words "Dry Honjozo".
The simple name "Aizu" also intrigues me👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was mineral and clear.
The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. The dry, refreshing taste is balanced by the sweet, astringent acidity and the umami of the rice. Although it is a regular honjozo, it has a delicate, gorgeous flavor, perhaps due to the 60% rice polishing ratio, which makes it one rank above other dry honjoze!
The soft and clean part is reminiscent of "Ding" ✨.
It is also very cost-effective and tastier than I expected...!
You can clearly feel that it is well-known as a local sake.
I would love to drink it with codfish stew 🤤.
Grapefruit with sourness and gentle bitterness when drunk without the cage.
When mixed with orizumi, it is silky but light and crisp.
The best nigori sake I've ever had!
Amazing!
Oh!!! When I go back home and don't drive during the day, I buy beer there and drink it on a bench outside. (There is also a craft brewery called Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing nearby, so if you like beer as well, be sure to stop by!
