Summer Junmai
Dewa Tsannyu 65% polished rice
The amino acid content of the original sake was high, so they added more water than last year.
It is hard to believe that they watered down the alcohol content from over 20 degrees C to 13 degrees C. It has so much flavor!
The aroma and taste are just like Tsuki no I itself!
The aftertaste is light and dry, so it is easy to enjoy.
In fact, the waitress that day was said to be the person who runs the business at the Tsuki no I sake brewery. Apparently, several people take turns running the store. Since I heard that, I ended up with a heated glass of Tsuki no Ii. It must have been my first time. It was very good for my stomach.
The first Tsuki no I nigori. Bottled in 2022, BY unknown. Slightly colored?
At room temperature, the nigori rice flavor is strong and sharp. When heated, the soft rice flavor expands, and it has a nice sharpness.
The label is fun. It is dry, not unlike a daiginjo. You can feel a good amount of alcohol. Recommended to drink at room temperature. It may be a little difficult to find a good match. Maybe fatty white sashimi?
Mild rice aroma.
Rice-umami~ with a hint of berry flavor! Just a hint of berry flavor.
Low sweetness, a little dusty, sepia graininess.
Sourness comes a little.
Surprisingly beautiful.
Light and refreshing.
My favorite type.
Degree of liking ☆4/5

Today is the summer festival of Tsuki no I, the so-called "kurabiraki" (opening of the brewery).
A wonderful event where the brewery opens its doors to the public and you can drink various kinds of sake along with local delicacies!
Review of one bottle out of the many we drank
The summer festival sake is said to be sake that has been purified at the Oarai Isozaki Shrine, but anything is fine as long as you can drink it!
After a soft sweetness, it is full of flavor, just like Tsuki no I!
It goes well with edamame (green soybeans), motsu (pork cutlet) stew, and curry.
It is a summer sake with a lot of alcohol.
Thanks again for a fun brewery open house this year!
