piko
On the way back from a family trip to Gotemba near my parents' home, I visited the Gotemba Ishikawa Sake Brewery's store, Mikuriya Eikura, which was just opened this January.
The brewery was founded in 1882 in Omaezaki, also in Shizuoka Prefecture, and then went dormant until a company in the food service industry revived it.
Last Monday, I went to the store attached to the brewery, which is located far from the city center in the heavy rain, and purchased a limited edition of 50 bottles of the new sake that went on sale that day. I received a wooden tag with the serial number 2/50.
Before boarding the bullet train back to Mishima, I bought my favorite "eel bone" at Mishima station.
Not much aroma.
Not sweet, but a clean, clean rice taste. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
I thought it was an elegant and delicious sake.
I guess there is a commercial agenda, but there are new sake breweries that have been established in recent years and are attracting a lot of attention.
Hopefully, it will become a place to make sake that will make sake lovers happy.
