Rating: ★★★☆☆☆
Bitterness is strong. I wish it had a little more sweetness to make it more to my liking.
I've been so busy on weekdays lately that I haven't been able to exercise. I'm going back💦.
6/10
I thought it would be super fruity because it is Isshaku Suisei and Sake Mirai, but what do I find? It was a little different from what I expected.
It was a slightly thicker, richer sake with a stronger bitterness in the latter half.
Maybe it was because it was a mouth-opener.
I was expecting sake from Sake Mirai to be more like Jyushiyo, but this was not like that at all, and on the contrary, I liked it.
I am not too familiar with the factors of taste and true cause, but it is fun when there are flavors that tend to be different from what I expected.
Purchased at a liquor store in Kagoshima.
It has a very light but not too sweet taste, and the lingering rice flavor and bitterness is very long and wonderfully sharp.
The aroma is pleasant and easy to drink, but the bitterness is exquisite and interesting 🤣.
Fukuro-huri is a method of squeezing sake by hanging each sake bag individually, which means that although it is more labor intensive than the normal method of squeezing, it produces beautiful sake. The sake is made by hanging sake bags one by one, which is more time-consuming than the usual way of squeezing, but it also produces beautiful sake.
Naturally, the sake has a good aroma, but it is a sake with a refreshing sourness and bitterness rather than sweetness. When tasted closely, grapefruit is the best fit.
It is also a good food sake. It would go well with salty cheese.
Notes (see online information)
