zgo259Today's third sake, Otters! Even when I was not so interested in sake, I used to hear about this brand as a delicious sake! I can't take a picture of the label so I don't know, but 45 means the rice is polished to 45%. It's so light and refreshing!

RyuPolished 45 After drinking the blue, the softness of the water is still noticeable. The aroma is also more spread out. It is as if the innocent taste of the soft water helps the aroma to spread. I think once again that this is a finished product.

RyuOtter made in New York. The label says something about the pursuit of even better taste, but it tastes just like the usual Otters. In a sense, this is the work of Otters, whose manufacturing process is data-coded, because they make this in America, where the environment is different. It is strange that the item is not sake but sake because it is not made in Japan. Still, they can call themselves Junmai Daiginjo. It's in Roman characters, though. The water in the other country has a high hardness, so the minerality is strong and the taste has more depth. The alcohol content is a little low at 14, but you don't feel it. Usually, when there are a lot of minerals in water, yeast tends to play an active role and the alcohol content tends to be higher, but I wonder how they adjust the alcohol content. The wine's alcohol content is around 12%, so it is likely that the aim was to lower the alcohol content to match the wine. 4

keiIt was a gift. It has a fruity aroma, a little sweetness, and a clean, easy-drinking aftertaste. It is definitely delicious and easy to drink, even for people who are not used to drinking sake. It is a quintessential Otter Sake...but I wonder if it is a luxury that I feel it is lacking something.

ariccyFirst Vintage of Otter's New York Brewery The rice is still Yamada Nishiki from Japan From now on, they plan to use Yamadanishiki from Arkansas The aroma is slightly floral and fruity, with hints of pear and white peach. The alcohol content is 14%, which is lower than that of the Japanese, but the alcohol is slightly stronger than the Japanese. The taste is very clear, as expected from highly polished rice. It is very delicious with a clear and elegant flavor with a sense of fullness. The water is probably different, so the minerality is a little stronger than the Japanese, and the taste is relatively refreshing. This is not a reproduction of the Japanese Otters, but rather a mastery of the taste that can be produced in New York, and this may be more suitable for the U.S. It would be nice if we could spread the word about what good sake is to Americans as we did in Japan.
