Saijo Sake Festival. Sake Hiroba.
Another strong two words.
Rice🌾 sweetness and a bit of astringency.
Creamy on the palate with a rich rice flavor 🌾.
Of course, this is the first brand I have ever had. It is an aged type, which is rare in Tohoku, and is said to be at least 3 years old, but the BY is unknown.
Not much color.
The temperature starts at 40℃. In addition to the umami of the rice that gradually expands, there is a good amount of minerality. It is not sour, but a favorable minerality. It becomes spicy and sharp as it is.
45°C. Not much change, but it becomes spicy and has a strong sharpness. The acidity is stronger at lower temperatures.
50℃. It is better at 40-45℃.
It smells a little medicinal at room temperature, so it is best to warm it up according to the label's recommendation.
Compared to Daishichi, it is lighter, and the minerality gives it a slightly refreshing taste. It has a characteristic balance of umami and minerality, which is quite my favorite among aged sake. The brand name is difficult to write, and I wish they would disclose more information (there is not even a website of the brewery).
I had it warmed ✨I was told that the rice would gently wrap around you and it really does 🤗It's soft and gentle and tastes great cold, but I love the gentle aroma when it's warmed 🙂.
