I enjoyed Kikusen, a famous sake from Fukaya City in Saitama Prefecture. It's a limited edition gift from a celebrity 🥰✨I'm uploading it exclusively on Instagram ☃️.
Fukaya City is famous for its screws, but Kikusen is a gem that benefits from the fertile land of the northern tip of Saitama (almost Gunma) and the abundant Tone River water. The mossy taste and blockage have an illusion of being a negative factor at first glance, but thanks to Fukaya Negi, that heaviness is transformed into umami. It can truly be said that it is an asset of this region created by Eiichi Shibusawa.
By the way, we had corned beef with lettuce and mayonnaise as a snack.
Not a lot of acidity coming through.
The mouthfeel is clear, but the alcohol comes out later.
The aroma is not sweet and fruity, but more like a bran aroma.
I like it.
SHINKI Awa Tropical...Strong acidity with a tropical aroma. It is sweet and easy to drink.
Science brothers....quite light and unadulterated. Slightly sweet and easy for anyone to drink.
Kikuzen Shibori...fruity aroma like a banana. You can feel the umami in the midst of the miscellaneous flavors in this sake.
It has a taste and aroma that is not typical of Japanese sake. The deep taste and the freshness of firing is addictive.
We drank it in a flute glass (^_^)
