Today is Ishizuchi.
The yeast cultivated from "Princess Michiko," a rose given to Princess Michiko by the Crown Princess Michiko from England, is used.
The Princess Michiko yeast is characterized by a gorgeous fruity aroma reminiscent of mangoes, apples, and bananas, and the result is a junmai ginjo with a broad and soft flavor that is harmonious." The result is a junmai ginjo with a soft and harmonious flavor.
It has a gorgeous sweet taste with a very clean finish.
It was a sake with both gorgeousness and elegance🌹.
Postscript
It is not a draft sake, but very well-balanced and tasty even a few days after opening the bottle.
I had always decided to buy sake at an actual store, but recently I bought sake online for the first time.
The site is called Zero Shita and is run by Sakura Sake Shop in Gifu. I was lured by the offer to participate in a lottery for the purchase of sake.
(Of course, I missed the lottery...).
My first Ehime sake!
The aroma is subdued. The aroma reminds me of lime with a hint of bitterness and astringency.
When drinking it, it has the same limey flavor as the aroma. The bitterness and astringency come to the fore, followed by acidity.
The bitterness and astringency were unexpectedly strong. I wonder if the fact that it has been bottled for a long time has an effect.
It was too strong to drink one glass, so I decided to let it sit overnight for now.
When I drank it the next day, the taste opened up and the stimulating bitterness and astringency turned into a nice accent. The taste of rice and a hint of sweetness were also felt in the back of the bottle.
Yamada and Matsuyama-Mitsui, which is a rice variety, are used to make this Ehime rice. I wonder if the rice has a milder flavor.
At room temperature, it became much rounder and much tastier.
It is a classic, but it has a sharpness and a subtle umami of rice produced by bitter acidity rather than pungency.
So this is where Kimi can really come alive.
This is why sake is so interesting.
The cherry-red label on the outside of the bottle may make you think it is slightly sweet, but inside it is a sake with a strong rice flavor that makes you want to warm it up.
Sake made from flower yeast isolated from Bala Princess Michiko.
It is a noble sake with a gorgeous aroma and a gentle flavor that spreads in the mouth.
Accompanied by grilled sardines with salt
It has a fresh but not too simple taste with an astringent aftertaste.
The complexity of the astringent taste makes it a good match for strong flavored foods, and it went very well with stir-fried chicken and mushrooms with batapon. It also goes well with octopus sashimi, which has a strong flavor.
It is very tasty with the best balance!
It has a good richness and acidity on the palate, and a slight fizziness that makes you wonder if it's raw? It has a nice richness and acidity on the palate with a slight fizziness that makes you wonder if it is raw. It is a great food wine. It is a great food sake.
I stopped by a liquor store I had not yet visited and bought Ishizuchi because it was available!
Sake rice is 100% Shizuku Ehime from Ehime Prefecture, with a 50% rice polishing ratio!
The top aroma was quite consciously sniffed and had a faint apple-like aroma, fresh and refreshing sweetness, bright acidity, crisp bitterness, and a moderately refreshing aftertaste, a spring-like sake.
The road to national domination!
A long time update, the palate feels the gentle sourness of the fruit, followed by another gentle sweetness, a true springtime drink!
Only two more to go until the national conquest!
Iron plate sake in Ehime
The locals think of it as a watery sake, but it's a well-balanced sake, so it doesn't interfere with anything you pair it with.
Lightly fruity, with little alcohol, and I like to drink it with hiya.
