This is a challenging sake from Shigemasu. This time, the alcohol content is 11%.
To be honest, we think it is a bit thin in terms of drinkability, but it has a good low alcohol content and a good acidity which is good for hot weather. And it is cheap😄.
I found myself drinking a lot of it. Thanks for the drink 🍶.
On my way home from a business trip to Fukuoka, I had a drink at a restaurant in Hakata City: ☺️
It is brewed with locally produced "Yume Issen" rice, which was developed in Fukuoka Prefecture, and its catchphrase is "slightly dry and full of flavor".
I especially liked the fruity aroma, but the sweetness was kept in check.

Light aroma of rice and alcohol
The mild banana-like aroma, the moderate sweetness, and the firm umami of rice spread gradually with soft acidity, and the slight bitterness and dryness of the alcohol, while retaining the umami of the rice, make the wine finish smoothly.
It is a somewhat classical sake with a solid impression that goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own, but is a bit heavy.
It goes well with eel on rice, grilled eggplant with ginger ponzu, and chilled tofu with mekabu, mozuku, and akamoku.
I was attracted by the label when I first saw it and ordered it.
The sake rice is Yume Ikkyo from Fukuoka Prefecture.
The light aroma of the rice is relaxing, but there is no fruity aroma.
The mouthfeel is smooth and moderately dry, and you can enjoy the umami of the rice.
A mild bitterness comes at the end.
As the name suggests, it goes well with fish, especially blue fish.
The bitterness follows when served with strongly seasoned dishes, and it is smooth and refreshing when served with light dishes.
It is a well-balanced and calm dining sake.
Thank you very much.

The package seems to be inspired by the traditional culture and crafts of the Yame region, and things that represent the area (^^)
