The second bottle of Fukushima buying results, 70% polished rice ratio. Rice and rice malt are domestically produced and labeled as domestic rice. There is also a seal of Tohoku Reconstruction Space Sake.
When I asked the proprietress at the Bandai Shuzo store about the origin of the sake, she told me that it was brewed with yeast that had gone to space. I thought this was a good idea, so I bought it. I also received a leaflet.
When poured into a glass, it was a very light golden color. The aroma is typical of sake at room temperature, and when you sip it, it tastes quite old-fashioned, complex, but powerful!
The rice flavor is thick and delicious, but as you savor it, the sourness and bitterness, which is akin to astringency, start to come out, and it is quite complex.
The aftertaste is not pungent or alcoholic, but it leaves a numbing presence in the mouth.
After a few days after opening the bottle, it seems to become easier to drink. It was surprisingly old-fashioned and novel for a space sake.
