Ibaraki Sake
Sakura Sho Junmai Daiginjo
This is "Sakura Sho" made by Urasato Sake Brewery. Usually sake is made from rice dedicated to sake (Omachi or Yamadanishiki), but this sake is made from Milky Queen edible rice produced in Ami, Ibaraki Prefecture. The yeast is a flower yeast isolated from "Princess Michiko. This sake is unusual for Urasato Sake Brewery, which mainly uses Ogawa yeast. The aroma is gorgeous because of the flower yeast. It has a gentle sweetness and a sourness that comes from the sweetness. Even though it is made from edible rice, there is no cloying taste at all and it disappears nicely. It is delicious! It is a limited edition, so it is hard to find, but I hope you will try it.
