It was my first visit to a sake shop, and I wanted to buy a sake that could only be found here. Then I noticed a sake that is only available at four stores in Japan, and it was a kijozo-shu (a sake made with alcohol)! Everything was too chaotic, and I wanted to try this sake! What would it taste like? Let's go!
The aroma is surprisingly mild, with a freshness derived from the aluzoe flavor and a faint sweet aroma like that of murayuke. The slightly viscous sweet brewing water... Is this sake? This one brings a deep, rich sweetness like port wine. If I had to say more, I would say it is like Murayusuke, but a kijoshu with honjozo is really a sake that shatters the concept of kijoshu. The astringency and acidity pleasantly muffles the palate. This one is thicker than Shinmasa's Yonotori. However, by adjusting the aroma with aloso sake, the brewer has created a sake that is wonderfully easy to drink. I think raisins would be a good accompaniment. I will visit Fukuhara Sake Shop again! Thanks again for the food tonight!
