On another business trip to Morioka, I was confronted with a bottle of Iwate sake.
Cab Driver, with its rather disturbing label, is a representative bottle from Kikumori Shuzo, a pure rice brewery in Kitakami City, Iwate Prefecture. The sake is said to be named after a dark movie starring De Niro, but the other brands also have names like Denki Bosatsu (Electric Bodhisattva), and this all-out subculture makes one feel like the old Village Vanguard...
Although it is a draft sake, the brewery's introduction includes some unexpected phrases, such as "It can be kept at room temperature" and "Try heating it up.
I opened the bottle and drank it cold, and found it to be rich and dry, a bit like "Bakuren". I quite liked the taste. I am looking forward to seeing how the taste will change.
The third one is Iwateyama.
⚫︎Raw material rice: Kakehashi
⚫︎Polishing ratio: 55
⚫︎ Alcohol level: 17
I was drawn to this sake by the impact of the label. It has a unique dryness unique to sake, and it may not be to everyone's liking, but I highly recommend it to those who like dry sake. I drank it cold, but it would also be delicious hot.
I wanted to drink it!
Fluffy ao! I think I might love it!
Fruity!
It's a little bit different from sour sweetness, but yes, it's a little bit white!
I love it! I love it!
It's not really spicy, but it's light, what the heck!
When it comes back from the sky, there is a slight spiciness at the end! But I love it!
I'm really glad I tried it ♡!
I don't dislike it even though I came back from 14yo! Do you feel the whiteness?
