I bought it on the first day of my business trip to Okayama and had it at the hotel. It had a pleasant aroma, a fizzy mouthfeel, and a mild, robust flavor.
Easy to drink with a pleasant balance of umami and acidity.
Sweet on the palate, but the aftertaste is rather refreshing.
A bottle that goes well with a variety of meals.
Today's sake is a Gozenshu made with Omachi from Okayama Prefecture❗️
The aroma is of junmai with a slight sweetness❗️ sip and you will feel a tingling sensation on your tongue and a slight sour acidity will come❗️❗️ interesting sake for a mealtime drink⭕️
This is my first Bodai yeast brewed sake. The mild acidity is very tasty, with a clean aftertaste that is not too lingering, which I like, and it is apple-like.
The label says that the previous master brewer revived the Bodai Hashiro, but the Bodai Hashiro Kenkyukai website has a different story, which I will look into further.
Bodai-Hashiro is said to be the oldest sake brewing method established in the Muromachi period (1336-1573) at Shoreki-ji Temple at the foot of Mt. It is characterized by soaking raw rice in water to propagate lactic acid bacteria and using the "soyashi water" as the brewing water for the sake brewer.
When opening the bottle, the stopper or fly away.
After that, when you open the bottle, it makes a nice popping sound.
The aroma is soft and sweet like Bodai yeast.
It is light and easy to drink as the name suggests, compared to the Bodai Hashiro and Mizu Hashiro we have had so far.
Mimasaka tasted Katsuyama sake.
The impression was that it was sweeter than the usual "Gozenshu.
But it is not sweet, and the taste is sharp.
It is an old-fashioned "Bodhi yeast" sake, but with a refined flavor.
It was a truly delicious sake.
