Chizu
100% Hitanishiki, Polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 16%.
When poured into a vessel, it has a clear and gorgeous sweet aroma. (The bubbled glass vessel makes it difficult to discern the subtle color.)
The taste is gassy, sweet and juicy. After swallowing, a strong aroma escapes through the nose.
Aoki Sake Brewery makes delicious, easy-to-drink Hitanishiki, a sake-compatible rice variety from Ibaraki Prefecture. I enjoyed talking with Mr. Chisa, the managing director, at the sake event in front of Corona ❤.
By the way, Chisa-san is going on maternity leave next month, so we'll have to have another toast at our house soon 😆.
