Morita Junmai Ginjo
June 3, 2022
Junmai Ginjo from Fune Shibori, a brewery in Kurashiki's Bikan Historical Area. I had high hopes for this, but it still has an aged aroma with a hint of hineyness.
I sympathize with the concept of Colors, but I wonder if the planners and brewer are really thinking about whether people who drink this will really like sake or Okayama sake.
The sake that opens, the aging and hiney aroma is terrible, and honestly, it cannot be compared to the sake made by today's breweries. I can only think that it only lowers the value and reputation of the sake.
This is a sake brewery that I saw during a stroll in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter in GW. I was given a tasting and bought the sake that was easiest to drink.
The sake was very easy to drink.
I can drink a lot of it, but maybe the taste isn't anywhere near as special as it should be?
If I were to buy it, I'd probably prefer the unpressed sake (orange), personally!
The aroma of sake is clean and refreshing.
It is light and can be poured down the throat without any irritation.
The aftertaste is a little dry and washes out your mouth as you eat your food.
It's not as dark as it sounds, but it has its own character, and I found it to be an interesting sake.
Taste the sake of Bicchu Kurashiki. There is an elegant sake brewery in the Bikan area.
The name of the sake is "Mannensetsu", which sounds cool and mountainous, but the taste is quite rich and mellow, with a lot of sweetness and umami.
It is a rare sake with a capacity of 500ml, and I thought I could drink more if it was a 4-gallon bottle.
