初しぼり特別本醸造 2018BY
Kab
Is "Hatsu Shibori" the brand name 😳?
I will enjoy the changes after opening the bottle, alternating with Gunma Izumi and Shichirobei, which appeared in yesterday's post. shipped December 2018, 5th year ripe. Inspired post.
Both Junmai and Honjozo are available, but I went with the Honjozo following the liquor store's recommendation that the quality of the Gunma Izumi alsobe was not half bad and the cosmetics were better with the Honjozo. It took me about 10 minutes to purchase it because I had to bring it out from the warehouse 🙏.
The aroma is like alcohol antiseptic.
It might be hard on the first day of opening the bottle, so I started it hot.
50 degrees Celsius. Eh what's this (in a good way). It has a fruity taste with sourness and bitterness, more like grapefruit than orange. The taste is a bit different from most of the orange-red sake. The taste is almost the same at 40℃, 45℃, and 50℃, and at 60℃ it is not much different (maybe a little sweeter).
It is almost the same at room temperature, but has a slightly orangey sweetness. It can also be served cold, but it has a slightly hydrogenated taste.
It has a unique impression of a sharp, fresh, matured sake, which is very much to my liking.
Gunma Izumi has an image of being sweeter than other matured sake, but this is more about sharpness. It is refreshing and clean. Add Gunma Izumi to your favorite brands.
