What's coming up?
An unfamiliar label.
When I looked it up later, I found it to be quite an expensive sake.
Junmai Daiginjo, a little lighter than Nabeshima.
A pleasant sake 🍶.
Pair it with sashimi and chawanmushi (cold steamed egg custard).
Knowledge
A new Junmai Daiginjo is now available from Toyo Bijin, which is currently gaining popularity nationwide. What a surprise, the rice used is "Sake Mirai"! This sake rice is also famous for being produced by "Jyushidai," which is respected by Mr. Sumikawa, the toji who brews Toyo Bijin, as his master.
This sake is brewed with such rare sake rice polished to 35%. The fragrance of this Daiginjyo is sweet, fresh, and gorgeous, like freshly harvested fruit, which is one of the characteristics of Sake Mirai. In the mouth, the soft texture is typical of Toyo Bijin, and the dense sweetness and rich umami of this sake rice can be felt.
