The third bottle is Miyagi's sake rice, Gin no Iroha, Zao no Kokoro series. The first impression on the palate is of muscat! It is elegant and crisp, as is typical of Miyagi sake. Easy to drink. Delicious!

A summer sake from Zao brewed with Miyagi sake rice, Gin-no-Iroha. Slight ginjo aroma. This is my first time at the brewery, and it finishes with a slight bitterness. It is crisp. The expression of Gin-no-Iroha varies from brewery to brewery.

Souvenirs of your trip to Sendai The aroma is slightly tinged with sourness. Slightly banana-like aroma. The taste is light, for better or worse, with a touch of astringency at the end. For someone like me who likes sweetness and umami...

I suddenly tried a sake that I liked a lot. It was completely unmarked... There was no umami or acidity, just a sweetness that was the vector of the taste. Of course, it is not too sweet. It's not unfiltered raw or unpasteurized sake... this is very good stuff. K is for kokoro

A bottle purchased at Marushu Sake Shop in Shiroishi City during a trip to Miyagi Prefecture. K Cocolo is a series limited to special dealers. The yeast used in the ZAO series is an isoamyl acetate strain, which is said to embody the concept of a sake that never gets old and gets better with each successive sipping. The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture. Rice polishing ratio is 40 The alcohol content is 16%. When poured into the sake cup, it has a smooth and clear texture. When the bottle is opened, the aroma is fresh, elegant, and sweet. The first sip is very smooth, with a moderately full flavor that spreads in the mouth, but the rich flavor disappears in a clear, light aftertaste. It is very easy to drink, with a light throat feel for its alcohol content. Perhaps it is the umami of the middle distillation. It tastes great chilled, but the umami is more intense at near room temperature. It is certainly a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking.

Aroma is green apple, some iodine. Not much flavor, mainly umami and acidity, with a slight alcohol taste at the end. When heated, the sweetness comes out, the umami is a little stronger and the acidity is weaker. It can be heated up quite hot.

Sake I drank on my trip to Sendai. The beautiful and enchanting cherry blossom color is said to be derived from the yeast. It was so cute that I got excited! It has a gorgeous berry aroma, sourness, and sweetness, and is refreshingly delicious. I paired it with oden with Sendai miso 🍢.

Well, well, well...this one is from the local Miyagi brewery, Zao Shuzo. White malted rice brewed at 13% low alc. I have an image that local Miyagi sake is more like classic sake. I guess it's the white malted rice brewing process that gives it the right amount of acidity. Freshly squeezed citrusy taste I tend to put off drinking local sake because I can drink and buy it anywhere.... I'm not sure why... 🙇 ... But when I pick it up again, I can buy it anytime and take my hat off to its quality 🤗. Miyagi sake is a good work after all 👍👍👍👍👍. I think I'll go after the sake brewed with white koji 🤔.

Marubuku first shot A challenging sake made with white malted rice that produces citric acid compared to the yellow malted rice often used in sake. A balance of sweetness and acidity reminiscent of freshly squeezed citrus fruits. It has a sweetness, but it is also sharp and refreshing on the throat. It also has a citrusy aroma.
