Jinling the other day.
PUR means "pure" in French. It is said to be a sake with an aroma reminiscent of young apples, harmonized with the refreshing acidity and sweetness of citric acid derived from white malted rice. Exactly. Green apple flavor. A well integrated taste with no strange peculiarities.
The sake rice, Oceto, is a variety often used in Kagawa. It has been used in Kagawa since 1980, so it must have been of the Matsuzaka generation. The resulting sake is described as having a mellow aroma and a clean, crisp taste.
Sanuki tasted sake from Kotohira.
I purchased it at a direct sales outlet on the approach to Kompira-san.
It has a mellow and harmonious flavor that spreads quickly, but the aftertaste is refreshing.
It was a truly delicious sake that was perfect for the cool autumn weather.
This is a limited edition sake made with locally grown rice called "Akigeshiki". Akigeshiki itself seems to be a Kumamoto-born rice variety.
Chilled.
Plenty of ginjo aroma. It has a very rich taste with a combination of mild sweetness, gradual acidity, and umami with a sense of body. It does not leave a lingering aftertaste.
A local brand in Kagawa.
I think the percentage of izakaya (Japanese style pubs) in Kagawa that carry this brand is high.
I felt the strength of this light, dry sake was as strong as the curry udon noodles at the end of the meal.
First of the day! Listed on immediately.
Alcohol 15.Sake degree -2.5, Acidity 1.6, Amino acidity 1.5
It ages well and has a strong rice flavor. My impression is that it is a mellow sake like Kenryo with a little bit of umami added to give it a refreshing taste.
Warmed sake is a must!
100 points
A large warehouse with a museum and other facilities is located on the approach to Kompira-san in Shikoku. When I went there in the evening after visiting the shrine, it was already closed except for a store. The whole town closes early. Udon noodle shops close early in Kagawa, so be careful not to move around the same way as in other areas.
I bought this one, which was recommended by the clerk. It is a good sake with a strong aroma and flavor, not too flashy, and suitable for both during and after meals.

The color is pale and the taste is light, but the sake strength seems a little high.
I bought this at a roadside station in Mure where I stopped during my trip to Takamatsu the day before yesterday and yesterday. It is a limited edition sake made from 100% sake rice called "Akigeshiki. I have a weakness for limited editions, so it was a quick decision.
The color is a little yellow, the aroma is slight, and when you put it in your mouth, the sweetness and bitterness spread to your palate, followed by a lingering sweetness in the back of your mouth. The bitterness seems to be unique to Akigeshiki sake rice.
Delicious 😊.
As expected, driving back and forth with my husband and husband's father in the car was tiring~.
