I picked it up casually, but expectations were high because it was 100% Aizan, yeast-free, unfiltered, and unpasteurized.
The aroma was fresh and mildly banana-like. The sweet and sour taste makes you feel a bit pungent. A lingering citrus-like acidity lingers in the mouth, and when it disappears, you want another sip. The "sake that makes you want to chase after it" on the back of the bottle is very clear.
The label looks like a folding screen, but the sake has a modern taste.
Kitajima's Hikari, with its pop label and modern flavor, is a solid, robust sake.
The sake rice is Omi Ginbukietsu, and the flavor is crisp and dry, with a very restrained sweetness. It has a taste suited for summer. It was a delicious combination with gyoza (dumplings).
unfiltered, unfiltered sake (raw)
It has been 3 years since Aizan from Kitajima 🍶.
Sweet and sour mellow Junmai sake
It has a strong taste of acidity typical of sake yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.
On top of that, Aizan's characteristic comes out.
Elegant and refined Junmai-shu
Is this your first time? Kitajima?
Pulled by the name, the entrée is octopus.
The sake has a yellowish taste.
It reminded me of old sake.
Perhaps because I drank it as an extension of that image, my tongue picked up a sourness. It wasn't that much, but..,
The rice used seems to be Ginbukiyo,
To be honest, I can't taste the difference in rice, so I don't know. Octopus? I wonder if I could tell if I drank as much as a squid,
The aroma is slightly sweet, but when you drink it, the acidity is firm and thick.
It is dry and full of rice flavor.
It is not only spicy, but also well-balanced sake that you will never get tired of!
It is not only spicy, but also well-balanced and never boring!
