Here is another memorandum.
I have been drinking Tanaka Rokuugo regularly since I learned about it at an izakaya in Fukuoka, but I had no idea there was a nama-shu ver, so I bought this one 💰.
It has a white grape-like aroma with a hint of sweetness, and since it is a nama-shu, it has more gas than the regular Tanaka Rokuugo.
Overall, it was a well-balanced sake that I never got tired of drinking 😊.
Fukuoka Prefecture is proud of its Tanaka Rokuugo junmai sake. Itoshima City is famous for its Yamada Nishiki. This sake with a rice polishing ratio of 65% comes from the rice paddies of the famous Yamada-Nishiki. The aroma is like that of top-grade rice or Kamishinko, followed by a fruity aroma attack like melon. It is a crisp and clean bottle. It is a junmai sake, but it is like a junmai ginjo sake, with elements of mellow sake and fresh sake. Anyway, it is suitable as a food sake. It is my favorite.
Sake Brewery Memo
Tanaka Rokugo brews only one junmai sake. Sake that the Shiraito Brewery wants to share with the world. Sake that we really want to convey to the world. When I thought about it, the answer came naturally.
It is the hesitation that fades away, and the individuality that swells up becomes the future.
By continuing, a form will take root. This will become the high standard for Fukuoka sake.
