I tasted a variety of sake at Takashimaya and found it to be very unique, so I purchased it.
It is a one-of-a-kind sake that is created by chance through the workings of unpredictable microorganisms.
The sake is made using yellow malted rice for shochu (distilled spirit).
The yellow color is eye-catching when poured into a glass.
The unique aroma is a mixture of lactic acid aroma and fruity aroma, which I don't like.
The taste is more acidic than sake.
It tastes like drinking white wine, which is addictive. I don't dislike it,
but my husband who tasted it said it was not his favorite taste😅.
On the second day, the acidity has settled down.
Shin Tsuchida is completely additive-free and recommended to be stored at room temperature. It is said to be a sake grown here.
The first characteristic is this yellow color. It must be the color of yellow koji rice. Then the aroma smells a little like Shaoxing wine. The aroma smells a little like Shaoxing wine, which is similar to the Chinese word for a brew like Shaoxing wine, "Huangshu.
It tastes like gentle Shaoxing wine or ripe wine, with no peculiar but strange peculiarities, so it will be worth growing.
I am already looking forward to its growth from now on.
PS: When I drank it about a week after opening the bottle, it was more curdled and mellowed.
