I bought it at the direct sales store of Tanaka Sake Brewery at Ohara-juku on the Inaba-kaido Road.
Walking along the old streets, I found the direct sales store at the end of a leisurely alley. The sake has a light, refreshing taste. Delicious.
According to the liquor store owner, the sake brewery here is not properly managed, so the same label can have different contents, and only the president knows what's in stock.
Is that true? Anyway, this is a small sake brewery in Okayama.
It has a light color, but is almost transparent.
It doesn't have much of an aroma. It has an aroma of lactic acid with a hint of sourness, spices, green grass, and tobacco mixed in. I think it has been aged for some time.
At room temperature, the main flavors are acidity and umami. There is a lot of volume in the taste, but thanks to the minerality from the ata, the aftertaste disappears nicely. The taste is mellow and gentle, unlike the image you get from the aroma.
As it warms up, the umami and acidity come together to create a nourishing taste. It also has a sweetness that gives it a sensual color that cannot be felt at room temperature.
This is delicious.
It may be a small brewery, but I want them to keep making it. I want many people to know about this sake.
The mouthfeel, throatfeel, and aftertaste are consistently straightforward, as if to say no change is necessary. This is exactly how the undefeated legend that Musashi built up is conveyed.
7 It is nigori but has a strong sake flavor. It has a solid taste. It is delicious. It lacks flamboyance and breadth, but is a straightforward, authentic sake. Saina Chaya 1150
