I visited the brewery and purchased it.
Sweet and sour strawberry, sour pineapple-like aroma, thick and sweet
Yellow color.
Unlike the impression of the aroma, the mouthfeel is light, with a moderate sweetness, a little sourness, and bitterness.
It is easy to drink, without a sticky feeling. There are no clear characteristics, but it is easy to pair with food or by itself.
I like it rather well.
I visited Rikisen Shuzo and purchased it. After talking to the brewer, we purchased it. The brewer told us to dilute it to our liking because it is a very strong sake, but this time we drank it as it was.
It has a deep sweet aroma of rice with a hint of sourness. It has a classic rice flavor rather than a fruity one.
The color is quite yellow. The sake rice is 100% Omachi.
The mouthfeel is gentle, but you can feel the stimulation of alcohol. It has a classic sake taste, but the gentle sweetness and acidity make it quite easy to drink.
This sake is from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture.
I went to the brewery and bought it on my return trip in August.
As expected of a ginjo, it has an elegant aroma.
The color is quite dark. The color is quite dark, but the sweetness is moderate and the taste is quite dry.
When you take a sip, you first get a sour taste with a strawberry aroma.
Then, the ginjo aroma of the main body and spiciness follow quickly.
Strawberry aroma and sourness, quite nice!
How about when it is heated up?
The deep sweetness and acidity create a thick foundation, while the spiciness is sharp and not overshadowed by the sweetness.
As the temperature drops, the acidity and sweetness stand up, harmonize, and become a powerful flavor.
This flavor is best served warm.
Only one more brewery remains in the tour of Fukui breweries. Reach! Reach!
The remaining brewery's sake is from a liquor store near my house, so I'll complete the tour next week or the week after that!
