Zanko Hourai Tokubetsu Junmai Namazake
Zancho Horai by Oyataka Shuzo in Kanagawa
Shirokushiki" means "Shiro" in white malted rice.
Because it is made with white koji, the acidity is very strong.
The aroma is moderate and the aftertaste is refreshing.
Sake with a refreshing sharpness that lingers in the mouth.
I think it is more enjoyable in a glass than in a cup.
It is the kind of sake that refreshes you on a slightly hot and humid day.
It is a good sake!
No scent.
Tingling fizzy feeling except when included.
The palate is smooth, with a gentle sweetness and juicy acidity.
Slight nuance of calpis and apple.
A bit of fresh rice richness comes later.
It is tightened by a gentle astringency.
4/5 stars for my taste.
Forgot to record
It is light anyway!
But not so light that you don't feel like you drank it like you did with Wind Forest, but good enough to feel satisfied after drinking it.
Also, it is cheap!
What's wrong, Zaruho?
The usual, fluffy, rice sweetness characteristic of breweries does not appear.
I drank it over a few days, but it was just spicy and I couldn't taste any umami. Is it because it is dry?
