Today we have that long-awaited sake, yes, Jikin! It is a junmai ginjo brewed with my favorite sake rice, Aizan. In fact, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it would not be wrong to call it a Junmai Daiginjo, would it? This is the fourth sake brewed with Aizan, following Akabe, Hitakami, and Ona. So far it's all good!
Now, now that we have the Jikin, let's open the bottle with a full Samurai. The sturdy stopper was sealed tightly, but I twisted it open with a lot of force.
The top aroma is not that strong, but the dignified sweet and sourness peculiar to Aizan spreads comfortably in the back of the nose. I can't wait to drink it! I can't wait to drink it!
The color is clear with a hint of lees. The back of the bottle says that this is because it is not filtered. I can feel the care that went into the bottle.
When I took a sip of the long-awaited Jikin, I found it to be... delicious. I have had several sake brewed by Aizan, but this is the most refreshing among them, with a crisp sweet and sour taste that spreads easily in the mouth. The taste is refreshing, with a slight bitterness lingering in the throat, and a dignified, careful taste spreads to the back of the throat. It's really delicious...I found myself drinking two gou of it!
Thank you for the delicious sake!
