Izumibashiスタディセット第三弾
鮎三郎
It's been a while since I've uploaded anything.
The third study set of Izumibashi is rice. Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, Jinriki, and Rakufu Mai are compared. Variations include Junmai Ginjo, Junmai Daiginjo, Ikegami, Hayagami, and Usu Nigori.
I learned a lot from the explanations and the video of the brewer's thoughts on sake brewing.
I learned that sake rice is different from regular edible rice, and the rice farmers have to be very careful.
Now, as for the sake, of course it's Izumibashi, so it's all good. Still, the difference in the rice is pretty clear.
Yamada Nishiki for balance, Omachi for flavor, and Shinryoku and Rakufu Mai for refreshment.
But if I had to rank them, I'd say Omachi > Yamadanishiki > Shinryoku = Rakufu Mai. I don't have a final ranking.
After all, it seems that I prefer those with strong umami.
