This sake is brewed by Maiko Tsuji, the female toji at Tsuji Honten, a sake brewery in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. It is said to have "more lactic acid bacteria" because it uses twice as much soyashi water (lactic acidic water) as is used in the traditional sake making method of bodai yeast yeast yeast. Before drinking it, my expectation was that it would be a highly acidic sake, but it has a banana-like fruity flavor that makes it refreshing to drink. Although it has 17% alcohol content, it is a delicious sake with a gentle taste.
The aroma is subdued, with a slight hint of grain. In the mouth, one senses a full acidity with sweetness, and once the acidity picks up, it ends with sweetness. The acidity is quite strong and the body is thick, but it is easy to drink. Good ‼️‼️‼️
The one I bought on a recent trip to Kesennuma.
The liquor stores in Kesennuma are expanding their lineup of brands, and this is one of them. It is a brand that is hard to find in the prefecture.
The fruity aroma and the sourness in the mouth. It is very tasty! I paired it with Miyagi's traditional shisomiso, and the strength of the shisomiso was not defeated at all.
We will definitely repeat this dish.
Please don't abuse me.
〜Kenta's hot sauce is very spicy! 〜I'll be back again!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

I enjoyed this sake a few years ago, so I repeated it.
It is still great. There is a tingling gas from lactic acid, and a depth of sweetness with an elegant wagashi feeling. The lactic acidity remains pleasantly after passing through the throat.
The power of Bodhi Hashiroshi was shown to me once again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This sake is in my hall of fame.

Back in Okayama, we went shopping at a local supermarket, Every. They have a full lineup of sake made from Omachi rice.
I bought this reasonably priced but seasonal sake for my evening drink, which was quickly consumed.
It has a gentle taste and I never get tired of drinking it.
