Umeichirin八〇精米旨口純米酒
おっ
ume (plum) unripe plum blossoms boiled in soy sauce with mirin
Delicious. Sweet aroma of grape type + yogurt. Numb but soft on the tongue. The flavor is strong, yet not cloying.
Purchased at Mikiya, a direct sales store near Umeichirin Sake Brewery.
They sell Ume-Ichirin sake, sake cups, and other goods, but they also sell boxed lunches and other items, just like a convenience store. I bought this one, which had a pop-up sign saying it was the most popular.
I found out about this place at a bar in Matsumoto the other day, and since it is a sake brewery in Kujukuri, I went there since it was the GW season and Kangiku was close by. The back of Cheeba-kun's head.
Umeichirin Sake Brewery is doing quite well for a local sake and is expanding nationwide. I heard from another nearby sake brewery (Moriya Sake Brewery) that they are expanding their business nationwide.
