The second drink was my first. I realize now that this was not Nagano. I wonder if I had ever had sake from Kagawa. Sorry, I forgot what it tasted like.

Event.
Sake Fair 2024.
Each prefecture has its own unique booth 😄.
Kagawa prefecture had a selection of "Sanuki Olive Yeast" sake 😳.
The booth staff explained to me emphatically that "Kagawa is not only about Udon noodles ❗️" 😆.
Here is the sake.
Color is slightly yellow🟡.
Taste is sweet and sour.
There is also a sweet aroma wafting through the air.
The throat is mild.
The sourness remains and the aftertaste is clean & refreshing.
The finish is a lingering sourness.
A sweet and sour sake with a cohesive and refreshing taste.
I'd like to drink more olive yeast with a variety of sakes to gain more experience 💪.
Good morning, Hiro😄.
I had my first taste of olive yeast sake here last year and it was so good that my son bought it immediately 😉.
I've only had this one so far, I'd like to try some more 😊.
Hi, Tsubu, ☀️
Olive yeast is interesting 😄.
Your son bought it right away, he is very discerning: ❗️
Kagawa Prefecture is a big proponent of olive yeast, so other breweries should be on your radar too 😆.
The aroma is subtly sweet. The pleasant sweetness on the palate is typical of ginjo-shu, making it easy to drink, but the robust flavor will keep you drinking it for a long time.
From Ayagiku Shuzo, Kagawa Prefecture...
Ayagiku Junmai Ginjo Namaishu
This is one of the few "Ayagiku" series that is a pure sake type!
There are quite a few unpasteurized sake types, but there are not many unpasteurized sake types.
This junmai ginjo sake is made from 100% Kagawa sake rice "Oceto"!
Junmai Ginjo-shu is made in early spring and bottled as is.
The aroma on the nose is pleasant and refreshing, reminiscent of a fresh sake, and in the mouth it has a juicy fruity aroma reminiscent of melon, and the flavor of rice with just the right amount of flavor spreads out, with a core acidity typical of Ayagiku, a pleasant bitterness, and a good finish due to the slight sense of gas that still remains ♫
It has a good drinking experience, but it feels lighter than the alcohol content (17%), and is perfect for the coming season when well chilled.
It can be served with a wide range of meals, from light dishes such as sashimi and carpaccio, to dishes with a slightly stronger flavor such as meuniere and grilled chicken (salted).
