Junmai Ahusu Nama Genshu "acid high" limited edition‼️.
What kind of brewing method is it? 🤔
Very sour and unique tasting sake 😳.
I'm being cheeky not knowing the normal afs, but it was a stylish sake, more overly yellow in colour than other afs❣️.
Limited edition for the 10th anniversary of L'Effervescence
It really has a mellow aroma like Shaoxing wine!
The chestnut flavor of the dessert matches the richness of the 🌰!
As it has been aged for a long time, each sip has a great weight and you can't drink a lot of it but you can be satisfied with a small amount😵💫
Kidoizumi afs Stratae Chiba Prefecture Sake
Brewed in 2017
It's been matured for about 3 years, so the color is amber!
It was served at room temperature.
It is based on the strong sweetness of the noble sake making, and there is a thick sweetness like a caramel because of the aging.
And the sourness is amazing!
This mixture of sweetness and sourness is intense.
This mixture of sweetness and acidity is intense.
I had it with Mont Blanc which has more astringent skin.
The heavy sweetness of the Mont Blanc suppressed the sourness of the afs, and the flavor of the afs came to the fore.
It's quite an intense cup!
Thankfully, it was a gift. Apparently, it's a crowdfunded sake, made by assembling several different types of aged sake from the 1970s. It's been over a month since I opened the bottle, and I'm slowly savoring it.
The color is a light brown with a reddish tinge rather than amber, and the aroma is sweet like vanilla and caramel. It has a sweet aroma of vanilla and caramel, with a hint of malt. The palate is sweet with savory brown sugar and caramel, and the acidity spreads quickly, but the fruitiness is almost non-existent, and it is probably the sweetness and flavor of the grains. The body is about medium with no horniness at all. The aftertaste lasts for a long time, with little bitterness and a little astringency at the end. It's like drinking a brandy, but it's not like a distilled spirit, it's like a fine Shaoxing wine or a sherry (cream?). It has an impression of sherry (cream?).
I'd like to pair it with something like whiskey or brandy, or maybe chocolate with more cocoa.
We'll have a local liquor store manager's favorite, Kidoizumi Brewery's Afs!
Normally, sake is brewed by dividing the ingredients (rice and malted rice) into three stages, but this Ahusu is brewed in one stage, so the sweetness and sourness are emphasized.
In addition, it is made with the Yamahai brewing method, so it has an interesting mellow taste!
Alcohol content: 13 degrees
Rice polishing ratio: 65% (100% So no Mai produced in Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture)
Dear A205X253
Good morning. There are many sakes that I don't see often at Obayashi, so I tend to linger here. There was also Junmai from Kidoizumi Shuzo, so I would like to try it next time.
It's so thick that it's hard to mix.
It is very slippery.
When you mix it, it becomes pure white.
Strong aroma of lactic acid.
It has a very milky melt-in-your-mouth muscat flavor.
It's like muscat sherbet that has melted a lot.
It's easy to drink even though it's very thick.
It is sweet but has a strong sourness.
It is refreshing and dry.
It is very delicious.
