Sake Brewery and Delicious Sake Party 2025①

Kurumazaka Autumn Select special junmai sake 2023BY
This sake was recommended to us as an easy-drinking sake. It has a refreshing acidity and a mild umami flavor. Since I don't decide which sake to put in the bottle every year, I don't have a label on the front, so the one I wear around my neck serves as a label.
KODO.ec162 Junmai-shu
KODO.ec162 is a yeast extracted from the soil of Kumano Kodo. Mild, clear sweetness with a sticky texture. The acidity is plum-like and fruity. This is the second test brew since last year, and it is said to be a yeast that makes toji (master brewers) cry because of its weak fermentation power. They are planning to brew another batch this year, but are not sure if they will be able to sell it.

Today, for the first time, I went to Nachi-taisha Shrine and Kumano Kodo.
So I am drinking this sake that I bought on the way.
Kurumazaka, which originally had a punchy taste. This sake seems to have been made as a prototype for it. It is refreshing, slightly sour and fruity, great on a steaming day like today.

This sake was test brewed with KODO.6C162, an ancient road yeast born from the soil of Nakaheji, a Kumano ancient road.
It has a high acidic quality and is a sake with a lot of wild flavor.
Pour it chilled into a class and enjoy the unique flavor of the prototype.

Kurumazaka - Ginjo-shu that goes well with fish
Rice: Miyamanishiki, Polishing ratio: 58
Sake meter: +5.0, Acidity: 1.8
AL: 16.3
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This sake goes so well with fish that it has the name of a delicious fish of each season written on the label!
In order to enhance the taste of fish, the sake itself should not be too overpowering.
So, in this case, sake with aloso sake is better than sake with junmai (pure rice).
The flavor and sharpness of the sake were well combined, and it was quite a good sake!
