Fukushima Pref. Higashishirakawa-gun. Yazawa Sake Brewery Co.
Ginjyan Special Junmai Awahappo.
This sake was also purchased at the Fukushima Prefecture Satellite Office in the Osaka Daiichi Building.
They said this sake is also only available here in Kansai. I had never seen this label before. And when I went home and looked at it carefully, I found that it was manufactured in 2024.08.
I had it cold.
The bottle was opened without any sound even though it was light and effervescent when opened.
When poured into a glass, it has just a hint of bubbles, and the color is clear and faintly yellow.
The top aroma is mild and slightly melon-like.
Unfortunately, there is no sense of microbubbles on the palate, and while there is a sharp sourness, there is a sweet umami taste that is reminiscent of the dull color of concentrated dark amino acids. It has a slightly aged taste and reminds me of Tamagawa's Ice Breaker.
There is a mild tingling after swallowing.
The alcohol content is a little high at 17%, and if you add water with ice like Ice Breaker and cool it down, the acidity and astringency increase, so I recommend cooling it down in a refrigerator.
