Today I saw on social networking sites that it is delicious, so here it is! It is the first sake made with white malted rice in Zao! The first sake made with white malted rice in Zao😄Zao has been taking on a lot of challenges lately. Really good thing! As a local, I am proud of this brewery😄.
The aroma is very nice with muscat and citrus fruits, whereas the aroma of isoamyl acetate has been strong with banana. When you drink it, it goes from moderately sweet to sour and umami with good sharpness. The acidity is not as strong as it might be due to the white malted rice, and the balance of flavors is excellent! The low alcohol content makes it easy to drink. It's really delicious 😄.
According to the master brewer, he made this sake with white malted rice, not to increase the acidity, but because he thought that white malted rice would suit the flavor of this sake. A wonderful sense of style! A sake brewery in Shiroishi City brews with white malted rice. Something that will be talked about a lot (laughs).
Good evening, Mr. Sashu😄.
What a delicious looking sake ❣️
I can't believe that the white malted rice sake is not too acidic and well balanced 😍Great words from the toji ✨Sashu-san's local sake! Attention 👀 😆👍.
Good evening, Tsubuchan 😊It was a really delicious sake 🍶The fruity flavor was really well balanced with no alcohol smell. It is quite high in the recent sake I've had!
The liquor store said it was difficult to make it without making it cloudy using red yeast.
The beautiful pink color is lovely and spring-like🌸
The taste was refreshing and delicious!
One Year Aged Sake
It was surprisingly light and well-balanced delicious sake.
I visited this brewery 6 years ago, and it has evolved considerably since then.
I look forward to seeing more. ❗️
*I forgot to take a picture, so I picked it up.
Fruity, citrusy, berry-like, and sweet.
I would rather drink this alone than as a food wine.
It would be great on a sunny afternoon with a glass of this and a view of cherry blossoms!
