Tasting at Nara Izumi Yusai.
This sake is brewed using the Bodhidashi method at Shorakuji Temple in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of sake.
Unlike the stiff appearance, the mild acidity and bitterness are well balanced, and the taste will keep you going for several cups.
It has a round impression like Mimuro Cedar Dio Abita.

Mimuro-sugi! Why is it served so easily at festivals! I've heard a lot about Bodai-zukuri and other brands I've wanted to try.
What's this? It smells like peaches. It smells soooo sweet and fruity, but it's not apple like you usually smell, it's peach.
Is it a sweet sake? The brewing water is a gentle woman's sake, and the peachy sweetness is there, but it's also very sharp and pleasant.
I will buy it again, I really will.
It's too good, so I'll add Mimuro cedar to my list!
This is one of the bottles I purchased during the new sake rush at the end of the year.
At first, I was going to open it on New Year's Day, but then I found a bottle of Boshimoto Mimuro Sugi labeled for the Year of the Snake, so I opened that one on New Year's Day.
The other day it was Kikuhime, so I thought I'd open a lighter sake 🍶.
However, it took me about 15 minutes to open the bottle, probably because it was still fermenting in the bottle😅.
It has a slight sourness like Bodaiyuan yogurt, but the sweetness is quite moderate, and the gentle sweetness of the rice and the strong carbonation stimulates the stomach, making you hungry the more you drink it 😋.
It was great as an aperitif and very good as a mid-meal drink 😁.
