It is intense! 😬
As the endorsement says, the sourness was almost vinegar. I'll give it a try 😝.
I did taste a little sweetness later on, but the initial
The impact was everything. The first impact was everything 😝.
The sake is said to be made from mizumotozukuri, which was developed in the Muromachi period (1336-1573).
I was impressed that people used to drink this kind of sake.
I was impressed. 😅😅
At the usual restaurant
I asked the master if there was anything unusual
I asked him and here it is. 🙀.
The harmony of sourness and sweetness of 👍 is indeed
I enjoyed it. 😋
This is my first visit to Mai-Bijin.
Mai-bijin is known for its unique sake with strong acidity made by traditional methods, such as using a Japanese kettle, steamer, Yamahai with brewer's yeast, and pressing in a wooden vat. The sake I encountered this time was not brewed with brewer's yeast but with a fast brewing method.
The taste was completely different from other junmai ginjos I have had, being inorganic, hard, and reminiscent of a spirit-like distilled liquor. I wonder if it would be better suited to heated sake ^ ^.
The aroma does not rise to the top.
Smooth texture and acidity.
Wood and smoke nuances spread quickly.
The palate has a strong attack but is surprisingly cohesive.
The flavor is glossy and delicious.
The slightly spicy astringency is also good.
Surprisingly, it is very good.
It is a good pairing with a cut piece of hachio fish (marinated in sake lees).
Degree of liking ☆4/5
A strange sake, which I wondered what it was when I drank it for the first time about 4 years ago. I wonder if there are other sake made by letting sake lees sit for a while and then re-squeezing it, other than Mai-bijin.
The atmosphere is like Shaoxing sake, but it is still sake. I like it. It can be served with strong snacks or as a dessert. It is delicious.
I found a red Mai-Bijin and ordered it again. This is the third one I have ordered.
The taste was as unique as I expected. Sour mirin? It was a different drink that was no longer sake. I think there are different tastes, but I love it! (I don't think it tastes good, but...)
