This year's jungin with comets.
It has a light but soft and robust umami and a slight bitterness on the back end.
When heated, it mellows out and remains refreshing.
I have loved Miyamasugi since the time of its predecessor.
Unfortunately, the brewery will be closed at the end of this season.
I had heard about it before, but it is still sad to see my favorite sake go.
Among the many brands of sake from the local sake brewery I first started visiting about 30 years ago, this sake was my favorite along with Tohokuizumi, Sazanami, and Tennyurin.
I used to buy it whenever I found it.
Some sake is treated as a premier sake, but behind the scenes, many breweries are disappearing... I wonder if it is tough for truly rare sake like Miyansugi to survive....
Side note: I noticed again when I looked at the brewery's address that I used to walk to a place just a short distance from the brewery many times on business... If I had known then, I would have stopped by the brewery.
