2 types of local sake 🙌
I often pass by the sake brewery so I was curious about Shiraoi 🍶.
This is easy to drink!
The taste is quick, but the aftertaste follows.
The aftertaste is moderate.
I served it with pickled shiso leaves (from a recipe by Ume Fat, a member of the N Saka Group) on chilled tofu...it was delicious!
And a heaping pile of crab cakes with wasabi and mayo!

Just between you and me 🍶.
Nice to meet you at the usual liquor store ✨.
She gave me a recommendation for a dry local sake and I chose Shiraoi. I knew it! I knew it!
Next time I'll buy a bigger one 📝.
At room temperature. Golden in color. The aroma has a hint of maturity.
It has a sense of maturity and mellowness, but it is different from sake for drinking, which is difficult to verbalize.
The mouthfeel is thin, cloudy, and smooth.
It has a refreshing green apple and melon flavor.
The taste is surprisingly meaty and juicy, with a hint of sweetness, perhaps thanks to the orikiri.
There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste,
The finish is light, dry, and refreshing.
Good balance.

The 7th Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉙
Shiraoi which BOUKEN got.
The brewery in Shiraoi was established by Giheiji Sawada, the third generation brewer, who developed the "fast brewing method" in the Meiji era (1868-1912).
In 2020, the koji room, the core of the brewing process, was burned down, but the brewery reopened without incident.
The brewery is famous for its "Shiraubai" plum wine, which is made using the same methods as those used by brewers in the Edo period.
Shiraoi Wakamizu Junmai 70% polished rice, directly brewed at the brewery.
It is fresh, sweet, flavorful, and thick with a gaseous taste.
I had a good impression of this sake at the "Takashimaya Sake Festival" and it was also delicious.
Matsuo Taisha Sake-1 Grand Prix㉗
Since there was only a short time left, we decided to choose one sake from each brewery separately to share!
Polishing ratio 70%, Sake degree -1, Alcohol 18%.
It has a gaseous taste and is sweet and delicious. I liked it better than the Shiraoi I've had in the past. I might buy it again if I have a chance.
