Shocking label. I asked about it and was told that it was made from rice harvested at Kawaguchi Natto and brewed at a sake brewery in Miyagi. There was also a Sasanishiki, but I chose the Miyamanishiki.
It was quite umami, with a mellow mouthfeel and a clean, dry finish. It is a heated sake, but it also has a carbonated flavor.
This sake is brewed from Miyamanishiki grown in Kawaguchi Natto's own rice fields, which are apparently famous in Miyagi Prefecture.
From the name, one might expect, or even slightly expect, the smell of natto (fermented soybeans), but the initial aroma is quite elegant.
The top aroma is very elegant, and the richness of Miyamanishiki can be tasted in the mouth.
The brewing water is soft and mild.
The sake has a sake strength of +6, but I felt it was too sweet. The final taste is a moderate bitterness and astringency.
Now I want to try the real thing, not sake. I would like to try the real Kawaguchi natto next time.
It is not so easy to find it living in western Japan.
Thank you very much for the food.
I drank this sake at a sushi restaurant.
The name of this sake is strange because it is made from rice of a farmer who also makes natto (fermented soybeans)🤔The taste is full and rich!
The palate has a natural feel while gradually becoming more bitter. The second half is sharp and punchy. I think it is easy to match with Japanese food.
