Sekizen Junmai-Shu Hitogochochi x Sunflower Flower Yeast
Rating 4.3
Rice: Hitogochi, Rice polishing ratio: 59%, Alcoholicity: 15.0, Sake meter: +5.0, Acidity: 2.0, Yeast: Sunflower flower yeast
Sunflower flower yeast has a well-balanced acidity. An all-round sake that is easy to pair with meals and changes its expression depending on the temperature range. It has a dry taste with good acidity. May be better at higher temperatures.
Staying in Matsumoto for dinner. The second glass is here. A summer sake brewed with Tsukishita-bijin flower yeast and Hitogokochi.
It has a mild aroma and a refreshing taste.

It has a strong sweetness like honey from flowers.
As one would expect from a brew made with flower yeast, it has a slightly salty taste.
It has a slightly salty taste, and its gorgeous flavor is suitable for an aperitif.
On the second day, it tastes a little bitter, which makes it even more appealing.
Another brand that is also new to me. Gorgeous aroma. Mellow mouthfeel, with a surprisingly strong sense of rice flavor. The sweetness gave way to a dry aftertaste, which was a strange taste, but delicious.
Sake purchased at Shimizuya in Saku, Nagano 🍶.
A rare sake brewery whose signature is sake brewed with various "flower yeasts" such as apple and sunflower 🌼🌻.
They are aiming for an era where people choose sake by its yeast.
This time it was a saké made with cherry blossom yeast🌸.
Gorgeous and fruity as expected!
The stable Yamae-Nishiki is delicious!
Sunflower flower yeast, a bit of a bad moment, apple-flavored bread left in the freezer, warmed up, less noticeable. 5 days after opening the bottle, the bad feeling gets stronger and I can't turn it off. I don't want to buy anything other than new arrivals at the same store.
