Yellow malted rice for shochu
It is said to be a sake aiming for a wild taste not unlike Gohyakumangoku.
This is my impression,
A little heavy sweetness.
There is a sourness and bitterness to counteract it.
It has a dark, savory, and complex flavor, not unlike Gohyakumangoku.
It is sweet and delicious.
Tsuchida Brewery
Shin Tsuchida Princess Sally
A brewery in Kawaba-mura, Gunma Prefecture.
88% milled "Princess Sally" rice grown in Gunma Prefecture.
So called "indica rice" (medium-long grain rice).
Yellow malted rice for shochu gives a good balance of flavor and acidity.
Soft grain aroma, gentle acidity from the sake yeast
and a rich flavor with a light aftertaste.
It is an excellent match for ethnic and Western cuisine.
Recommended to be cooled or lukewarm to hot.
#Sake
This time it is "Tsuchida 12"! I bought it as a souvenir for a drink at a friend's house after a business trip.
I bought it as a souvenir for a drink at a friend's house after a business trip, but I brought so much that I had to bring it home with me... lol.
I brought so much that I ended up bringing it home with me... lol... The local liquor store doesn't carry Tsuchida's sake, so I guess it's a good thing that I got to taste it while I could 😅.
The aroma is fluffy, but not showy and calm.
It has half umami, half sweetness, and half sourness! I'm not sure how to describe it... 🌊....
Too much information!
The label says it has a lemon flavor, well, it surely does 🤔.
I drank it a few days after opening the package, and it seemed to have a slightly increased cloying taste...?
It's a colorful bottle! Is it mixed juice? (No, it's not.)
I can taste a lot at once, so the satisfaction is a flower circle! If you let it sit for a few days, it may taste a little bit like a bad taste, so try it while it's fresh! It's a bit like a "fresh" juice, so try it while it's still fresh! ✨

Impression: Quiet, clean, and balanced
I was prepared for this because I was shocked when I drank Shintschida earlier, but this one is the exact opposite, a royal road clean type.
It is a balanced type without any habits, and the alcohol content is low, so it is easy to enjoy.
It has a good balance of fruitiness and riceiness.
It is widely popular as a food sake and goes well with anything.
There will be a repeat!
