Eikofuji Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake, Mori no Kumasan
Morikuma-san 2025 in support of the reconstruction of Kumamoto Castle.
Sweetness, umami, and lactic acidity from 50% polished Kumamoto rice, Morinokuma-san. Not too sweet with a slight effervescence and a final sharpness.
Fruity juicy, not like the usual Eiko-Fuji, but delicious👍.
Was it because I was drinking Kudoku-jote on my first drink?
One sip... and I thought it was ordinary.
But as I took two or three sips, it got more and more... delicious✨.
I thought I was only going to have one, but...
I was going to have a little more...
I drank more than I planned.
At a bar in Omori. Eiko Fuji.
I have had this one before, but it is a repeat.
Fruity aroma as usual.
It is crisp, refreshing, sweet, and tastes like Eikoufuji.
There was also a Glory Fuji.
It's unusually dry.
I knew it was dry.

In France, there were usually candied violets and sweets, but unfortunately I am not familiar with them and I don't recognize violets. They are sweet, juicy and pear-like.
The name "Fuji" comes from the character for "glory," which was added to the original sake name "Fuji" when the company was first founded to express the wish for prosperity. It is also said that the symmetrical character "Eiko Fuji" represents the brewery's philosophy of "sake brewing without backs and sides.
