Don't stop drinking #Noto's sake! A sake comparison between Shirakiku and Kaze no Mori from Okunoto, from #Noto.
This is a collaboration brew.
It is a Junmai Daiginjo of unfiltered unpasteurized sake brewed with the Kanazawa yeast used by the Shirafuji brewery, using Yamadanishiki brought from the Shirafuji brewery and the ultra-hard brewing water from Kaze no Mori.
The appearance is pale silver-green crystal.
Gas bubbles float sparsely in the glass and disappear.
The aroma is fresh and gorgeous.
Aromas of pears, white peaches, bananas, and melons with a touch of schwirky acidity, honeysuckle flowers, green chervil, and the sweet nuance of apricot bean curd.
There is also a beautiful rice aroma like fresh white dumplings and a minerality typical of Kaze no Mori.
Slightly viscous and mellow texture, with a lively gas stimulation 🫧.
While the fruit-like sweetness is firm, the acidity including fine acid stimulation spreads softly and roundly.
From the mid-palate, the umami including a beautiful bitterness comes out and flows down the back of the throat, leaving a slight stimulation and ending with a sharp finish.
The finish is sharp and the lingering aftertaste is rather long.
Bitter and astringent taste tightens on the tongue.
The impression is softer than the daily Kaze no Mori, with a fuller and more complex umami.
The banana melon feeling typical of Kanazawa yeast and the swelling of umami give the impression of the essence of Shirakiku from Okunoto.

Hi Aladdin, hello here too!
I see this one uses the same brewing water from the Aburacho Sake Brewery😁.
I certainly feel like this one really needs a drinking comparison between the two ✨.

Hi Jive, good evening 😃.
I thought afterwards that it would have been nice to compare the sake rice with your usual Kaze no Mori, since you don't usually use Yamadanishiki (which for some reason is more common these days with exhibited sake and WEEKS limited edition sake) and Kanazawa yeast is also different from No. 7 😌.
