Sake by Moriki Sake Brewery, which makes Rumiko's sake. Looks like yogurt.
They only received 12 bottles this year.
Usually, kakemai is made in a three-stage brewing process, but this sake is pressed in a single-stage brewing process. Opening caution: ⚠️
I was going to go back to my hotel on the snowy road after leaving Seri, but I was curious about the sign across the street, so I read it!
There is an entrance but no name of the store 🈚️
It was still early, so I opened the door and went down the stairs.
I knew it was a sake store!
I sat at the end of the counter and turned around to see a cold storage room full of sake!
The waitress explained to me what to order, and we started with a brand I don't usually drink!
Myonohana Special Junmai
Crisp and dry, with a nice crisp aftertaste 😋.
It is from the same brewery as Rumiko's sake, which I have had before!
The No. 9 yeast is also the same!
We were full, so let's go get a little bit of something recommended by the waitress 🤏.

Slightly mature aroma. A little grassy on the palate. But it finishes lighter than expected. Alcoholic taste is strong. It is sticky, bitter, and spicy. A little sourness. Delicious with spicy miso wings and sweetness.
Umi to @Takadanobaba 20230922
When poured into a glass, it is a light golden yellow color. There is not much aroma. With a sake degree of +7 and a sugar content of 9.2%, it is supposed to be quite dry, but it has an umami taste that does not make you feel it. When heated a little, the acidity comes out. It is common for sourness to appear, but unlike other sake, the umami is enhanced and the taste is mellower than the sourness. It is very tasty.
Rice used: Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio:60
Sake degree: +6
Acidity: 2.0
It has a full rice aroma, a touch of alcohol, and a strong umami flavor that lingers on the tongue.
