A gift. Probably a limited edition sake from the brewery. It tastes rather dry. Slightly dry, with a clean, dobrokku taste. I think I like nigori dry sake.
February 22 and 23 is the opening of the Shiraito Sake Brewery where Tanaka Rokuugo is brewed!
This is the first time in 6 years that this event is being held, and up until last year, it was only a drive-through sale 🚗.
I had some errands to run, so I just bought sake.
The limited edition sake was a collaboration sake with Hana-no-Kou from Kumamoto and the 15th anniversary Tanaka Rokuugo (raw yeast yeast ver.)!
Cold sake
Slightly fruity aroma!
Refreshing mouthfeel like Tanaka Rokuugo at the beginning.
Gradually, a slightly mellow sweetness develops.
The unique sweetness seems to be a taste peculiar to Hana-no-Kou.
No gassiness
The aftertaste is rather long.
Shiraito is also delicious. I am planning to buy it at an event of Hana-no-Kou Sake Brewery in Kumamoto, where they will be selling a limited edition sake called Hana-no-Kou Disco Shiraito Sanjikin Banquet.
Good evening, AAJI! It seems so! Maybe the rice and koji making will be done by Hana no Aroma as well as this one... 🤔 looking forward to your feedback 😊.
On the second day of our trip to Hakata, we had Shiraito Shuzo's Shiraito 55 at Ichido, a motsunabe restaurant. It has a gorgeous aroma, sweetness, and a refreshing taste. It also has a nice sharpness. We enjoyed it with excellent dishes such as motsu nabe, vinegared motsu, and sesame kanpachi.
It was a gift.
I had never heard of this brand before, but my wife, who is not a big sake drinker, was drinking it very fast 😆.
It is a good sake, well balanced without any peculiarities 😊.
We visited the Shiraito Sake Brewery in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, but were unable to tour the brewery as it was right in the middle of the brewing season. I bought the Shiraito series, which is only available online and locally, in a red and white set for the New Year. Red = Junmai Ginjo (Polishing ratio 55%). White = Junmai Daiginjo (Polishing ratio 35%) Both are 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima. I opened both at a family gathering so I could enjoy the difference in taste produced by the rice polishing ratio!
