アラジン
The last of the four sake to be compared is a junmai kan-no-shu from the Morinokura Shuzo brewery in Kurume City, back in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This sake was brewed with Fukuoka rice milled down to 75% and served at 14% alcohol by volume for warming up.
This time it was served at room temperature.
It has a strong yellowish hue, and after the watery sensation on the palate, there is a harmonious attack of bitterness and acidity, with a volatile, glue-like aroma in the mouth.
I would definitely like to try it warmed up at various temperatures, from kamikan, to hot kan, to tobikiri kan, and more.
Sumiyoshi Shuppan, where we had the opportunity to compare four different types of sake called "Irohani Masu," is located in the Daytos building at Hakata Station, making it easy to get to and try and purchase Kyushu sake.
The sake lineup is also very nice and highly recommended. If you have a chance to stop by, by all means!
