Germinated brown rice wine 🌾.
I found this at a liquor store and asked if it was nigori sake. I thought it might be nigori sake, so I asked about it and found it was the first time I had heard of germinated brown rice sake. I heard it had a unique taste like pickle juice, so I bought it because I like pickles!
I was surprised when I drank it 😵 It tastes like carbonated sour pickle juice. Super super super unique and this is not sake 🙂↕️
It is made from 100% brown rice and is very good for the body. I don't buy it anymore because it doesn't suit my taste buds, but my mother raved about it.
Trusted Chiba Sake & Terada Honke = reason for selection.
I'm creeped out just having five daughters...
Jacket value... 2/10
I don't know what's going on....
Ki ... 11/20
The smell is a piercing malted rice smell, with a barley shochu & fermentation smell in the back.
The color is surprisingly clear, the taste is not heavy, and there is a weak sweetness and astringency on the tip of the tongue.
Sei... 12/20
The acidity is nice, spreading gradually, and the main flavors are bitterness and acidity, but the sweet and tart flavors are also present and do not disappear.
It is a strange world, but it is safe to say that it is fresh.
Turning point ... 16/20
The texture is a battle between astringency and bitterness, but the sweetness is still present behind the bitterness.
Yui ... 15/20
The bitterness prevails, leaving a burning sensation, but the ama-ami (not to be mentioned in particular) is persistently persistent.
The sublimation smell is like plum wine, so I don't consider it SAKE-like.
COSPA ... 4/10
Purchased at 2,000 yen.
Aftertaste ... well, it has a white wine taste, but the aroma is not enjoyable.
It has a more comprehensive flavor at room temperature, with a more pronounced Alc and sweet flavor.

Purchased at a roadside station in Kanzaki. It is made with a particular method, including the use of pesticide-free rice and natural fermentation with no added yeast. The taste was a little different from the sake I usually drink, as it was quite noticeably sour.
