The refreshing aroma is reminiscent of strawberries picked in the morning, and the clear sweetness spreads on the palate with a soft touch. The clear, crisp flavor evokes a glorious springtime scene. The rich tone of the flavor is added by the addition of Ori, which gives the beer a deep and rich flavor. The indescribable joy of seeing a flower softly unfurling at the tip of a branch while thinking of spring. We hope we can bring you such a feeling. We hope you will enjoy the early signs of spring.
The Saikyu was a little bit heavy, but I could drink it easily.
It is a great cospa 😄.
This is a special pure rice (tokusujun) from Sairai.
It was purchased at the same time as the special junmai Hanazumi (hereafter referred to as Hanazumi) that I received the other day.
Both are the same special junmai, but they are completely different.
Both are unfiltered, unfiltered, unfiltered sake with a touch of gas, but the texture of Hana Sumi is smooth and smooth, while the texture of Tokujun is a little thicker and smoother. Tokujun has a pale yellow color, which is in contrast to Hanazumi, which is a light nigori white sake.
To put it simply, Hana Sumi tastes sweet and bitter, while Tokujun tastes sweet and sour.
Tokujun has a mild aroma, but the taste is richly sweet with a sourness that is like berry fruits.
It does not have an overpowering bitterness like Hana Sumi, and the lingering sweetness lasts until the latter half of the bottle. While Hana Sumi is a sake that is suitable as an in-between-dinner drink, Tokujun is a highly satisfying sake that can be enjoyed on its own, and is more of an "in-demand" type of sake.
Tokujun seems to be made with Akita Sake Komachi rice, which is used in sake breweries in the Tohoku region, especially in Akita.
I first encountered Sairai as a half-junket purchase, but it has become my favorite brand.
Souzhu. The aroma is light and sweet, and the mouthfeel is mild, but the taste is easy to drink with a hint of carbonation and acidity! I wonder if this is what is called "ginjo aroma. It is easy to drink, with a modern feel, while still having a strong sake flavor!
