Pile Driver!
Bizen Oumachi!
It was delicious.
It is called "Pile Driver" because the tank containing the freshly squeezed sake was lifted by forklift and squeezed by the force of gravity without using a pump.
Sake made from a blend of 16 different liquors ranging from 9 years old to 1 year old.
Delicious with an aroma and flavor similar to Shaoxing wine
Mellows out as the temperature rises
Touring the sake corner of a drugstore (Cosmos), I found this sake for 1,106 yen with a 30% discount. I looked it up on the Internet and found that it was from a brewery that has a good reputation in Gifu Prefecture. The name "Asahi" was the same as my grandson's name. I had no choice but to buy it. So we drank it. The rice used is rice rice to keep costs down. It has a mild aroma of pineapple and feels soft. The internet says it is characterized by sweetness, but it does not seem so sweet. It is sold by a major sake brewer (more like a sake manufacturer?). The sake is not comparable to the daiginjos sold by major breweries (more like sake makers?) that are sold with unknown rice. The cosmos I go to has a changeover and last year's crop was on sale, so it will continue to be a target for my patrol. 😊
I saw it on each liquor store's instagram before summer and was curious about it, but in September I found it at Daimaru😅.
It's a non-pressurized sake, so it has a soft and gentle mouthfeel like a high-end sake. It has a slightly fizzy, green apple-like sweetness to a trace of bitterness.
The bitterness at the end is typical of Miyamanishiki.
Kozaemon invented his own no-pressure pressing and named it Pile Driver 🤔.
Pile driver is the name of a wrestling technique.
The only wrestling move I know is the Bren Buster 🙄.
bouken-san Good evening. I personally liked this very much. I agree with you about the bitterness from the sweetness. I heard that the liquor store I often go to now has a new Omachi, so I'm thinking of buying some.
Chef's sake #2
Sweet melon-like aroma, sweet, sour and fruity, smooth and fresh on the throat. The alcohol content is light.
It is a delicious sake that you can drink as much as you want.
