Takeba Summer Junmai" has the gentleness and transparency typical of Noto's local sake, and it is a soothing bottle that can be enjoyed in summer. Just like the panda on the label, it is the type of sake that makes the drinker feel at ease.
Slightly full-bodied, with a hint of yellowish ripeness. It has a slightly yellowish ripeness, but it is clean, fruity, and slightly tasty. It is crisp and disappears in the back of the throat.
I ordered it from a sake boutique in Wajima, Okuda-san, in late September last year, and opened a bottle to avoid storing it at room temperature during the heat wave. I was glad to see that there was no twitchiness to it.
Kazuma Sake Brewery was able to resume brewing last April, and the fourth round of the "Don't Stop Noto's Sake Project" is now in stores. We will keep in mind the breweries that continue to wait for reopening and those that were able to reopen.
A special junmai sake made from 100% Ishikawa-mon.
Aroma of sweet & sour cream soda.
The taste is firm and sweet with banana and pear. The aftertaste is spicy.
The aroma is a little bit unsettling at the back of the bottle. It disappeared the next day.
Jungin in summer. Made with Kanazawa yeast.
The basic aroma is sweet, but you can also taste acidity like pears.
The acidity adds to the umami. The sweetness stands out, but the acidity is like pears or bananas. The spiciness comes afterwards.
The sweetness becomes stronger when the sake is not yet warm, so it should be well chilled to refresh the palate.
In June, I visited the Okunoto area for the first time since the earthquake.
I went to the Kazuma Sake Brewery in Noto Town. The urban area of Noto Town is relatively back to normal. The major sake breweries seem to have resumed sake production, but it must still be very difficult.
I was looking for sake to drink at the inn, so I found a perfect size of 300 ml. It is a Daiginjo-nama sake limited to the brewery.
The aroma is banana. It has a rich sweetness of bananas and pears, but the alcohol content is 17%, so the aftertaste is quite spicy. It has a refreshing cool sensation because it is alky.
