つかつ
This sake is made with Ginga from Otsuchi Town, Iwate Prefecture, and water from the town's Gensui district.
It is a junmai ginjo with a strong umami flavor and a ginjo-like aroma of fruits and flowers. Perhaps due to its slightly high alcohol content (16%), the stimulating sensation on the tongue may appeal to different tastes.
The yeast used is Yuko no Sou, one of Iwate's original yeasts. It is said to be a yeast that produces a mild aroma, strong fermentation, and a gentle flavor with umami, and one can certainly sense this tendency.
Fresh cream, white dumplings, banana, violets, wasabi and white peach
