Last Sunday I went to the Saijo Sake Festival in Hiroshima.
This is the second time I attended the festival after last year!
First, we went on a paid tour of the Saijotsuru Sake Brewery.
We learned a lot about the brewery, the history of Saijo and the sake making process.
As with last year's Saijo Sake Festival, we bought a limited edition sake from the brewery!
Cold sake!
Aroma of grapefruit, white bean flour and rice
Light acidity and mild umami
Gentle volume
Slightly short aftertaste
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gentle aroma of soft green apple 🍏.
As the day goes by, the aroma changes to a melon-like rich sweet aroma
melon-like scent as the day goes by.
Smooth and silky on the palate.
You can feel the umami of rice well. ☺️
The aftertaste is very sharp, and you can't help but drink more and more!
It tastes better when it is close to room temperature, as it has a deeper, mellower flavor. ☺️
Rice: 100% Omachi rice (Omachi rice produced in Akaban and Akasaka)
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 16%.
2,250 yen/720ml at Yume Town Hatsukaichi
It was purchased at the brewery's direct sales office in Saijo.
The design of the laval is similar to that of Kamotsuru Gold.
There is no gold powder in it, but how does it taste?
My first impression was that it was smooth and easy to drink without any punch.
It is a dangerous sake that will go well with both food and alcohol at once.
It is the kind of sake that makes you want to buy a four-pack and enjoy the various combinations,
Is there such a thing as a four-pack bottle?
Today's beer,
Today's beer is Aki-no-kuni Brewery's red shiso beer.
It has a strong bitterness.
It seems to be a beer that people may like or dislike,
