Bijofu純米吟醸 夏酒
シベハス
Purchased at the sake section of Shinjuku Biclo. I was curious about this Kochi sake because I had heard that it was similar to Bunkajin. I bought it in the hope that it would be a refreshing summer sake.
I thought it might be quite spicy. But it had a good balance of spiciness and acidity, and I could also taste the umami of the rice. It has a sharpness, and the alcohol lingers for a long time, but it also has a cool feeling.
It is an interesting sake with a busy and ever-changing flavor profile.
I would like to try other sake breweries.
The bottle was a bit big ass, so I had to force it into the pocket of the refrigerator door.
