The second Hanpukai of 2024, Flax Cat Kai.
It's been out a few times already, with oak and sparkling versions, but this time it's the highest white malted rice ratio ever, with no yellow malted rice used except for the sake mother.
So to speak, it's like Nirvana Turtle's rice polishing challenge!
The aroma has a strong acidity like lemon or grapefruit.
The taste is honestly not so different from that of a normal flax cat.
The acidity may in fact be stronger, but compared to high malic acid producing yeast or high acid sake such as sake mother sake, it is a marginal difference.
If you think about it, the key point is that even the weak enzymatic power of white malted rice could produce sake properly, and the fact that the taste remained the same should be considered a great success.
It has a strong acidity, but it also has a sweet and sour taste, and is deliciously sweet and sour, the usual flax cat!
