It is a blend of Hitomebore from Gunma Prefecture (yeast 1801) and Watanabune from Shiga Prefecture (yeast M-310).
(yeast M-310) from Shiga Prefecture.
It is mild on the palate, and the umami comes through softly.
As the temperature rises, it becomes a little spicy, so it is easy to drink and delicious when it is cold.
I remember buying a jar at a roadside station a long time ago and it was delicious, so I bought it again. At that time, it was a blue bottle with cuts all over it.
Since I was on a trip to Gunma, I thought I'd like to have one from a Gunma brewery, too.
Not too sweet, not too spicy. Is it more on the spicy side?
We bought it at Sarugakyo Ichimasuya. It is a good liquor store!
This is the first time I have seen clear bottles in Kanto no Hana.
This is also the first time I have seen a label that is not made of raised material.
You can't go wrong with any of these brands.
It has a sweetness or a full-bodied flavor. I can drink it forever.
I love it as well as skunk cabbage.
At Izakaya
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma and is fruity.
It has a nice lingering finish with just the right amount of umami and acidity.
Rice: Hitomebore produced in Gunma Prefecture
I bought it because it was the first namaishu at the Sei Shuzo brewery.
Sweet nama-shu aroma with lingering aftertaste, sweet and sour with a sense of body and shuwah. It's like the goodness of rice.
I think the standard product had a lighter taste, so I prefer the nama-hashiroshi.
Next, another order made with Gohyakumangoku from Shibukawa City.
The aroma is quite mild.
No sweetness like Hitomebore
The taste is just the right amount of sweetness, mainly sweetness and umami, but with a sense of transparency, as one would expect from Ihyakumangoku!
Comparison of sake rice and sake rice
Delicious and well-balanced sake!
Junmai Daiginjo made with Hitomebore
The aroma is relatively mild, with a hint of rice sweetness.
The taste is very rich with rice sweetness and umami.
Later on, there is a slight grain complexity, but it is not unpleasant.
Edible rice-like taste is well blended.
It's just a good sake.
