Dairy and Yeast August Corner Report 1📝.
It was the last business day of Sumino Brewery before its renovation, so after stocking up with bouken-san, we decided to go to Mystery Chi 🚌.
We decided to have a Katori, which I never had a chance to drink because of its strong label 🍶.
The sweetness of the alcohol comes through quickly and stays on the palate with a touch of astringency.
If you look closely, it says 21 degrees ⚠️
Good morning, bouken-san: ☁️
Yes, yes, I remember sweating profusely as I rode the bus 🚌.
I heard that they don't have a sink at the moment, so you can't go to the corner 💧.
Kouzaki Sake Brewery Festival (4)
The Terada Honke side of the festival is quite different from the Japanese festival-like nabe store side, with ethnic stalls and musical performances. It is recommended to visit both sides of the festival for fun.
Terada Honke has an image of making maniacal sake, such as Bodai-Hashimoto, but this Katori is a standard sake with a low-pasteurization. It has a deep flavor with acidity and umami.
⚫︎Raw material rice: Miyamanishiki
⚫︎Polishing ratio: 80
⚫︎Alcohol content: 15
The last of the three sake breweries in the eastern part of Japan is "Katori" at Katori Jingu Shrine in Chiba Prefecture.
It is not only delicious, but also seems to bring good luck 😊.
Polishing ratio": Percentage of polished rice used to make sake
Polishing ratio of 90% means that 10% of the brown rice is polished and the remaining 90% is used to make sake.
Chiba Prefecture
Nature Sake Junmai 90
Polishing ratio 90
Alcohol 15
This sake is made from the raw yeast with almost no polishing.
It has a very strong rice aroma and flavor, and goes very well with pickles.
When drunk cold, it has a lactic acid aftertaste, but when heated, it becomes mellow and full of umami.
This is a strong acidity.
It has a sharp characteristic that is not found in many other brands, which is desirable.
I think it is similar to the fermentation found in Kagoshima and Okinawa brands.
