I never thought that Ippakusuisei would produce a kijoshu...!
I was excited when I saw the name, and even more surprised when I tried it. This is truly an "unpredictable" sake.
Named after the golf term "Moving Saturday," it is a sake that is rough (?) in a good sense, just like a Saturday when the score is moving around a lot. It is a sake that is rough in a good way, just like a Saturday when the score is very high.
The sweetness comes with a bang, but there is something beautiful and light about it! It has a sweetness that comes with a bang, yet it is somehow clean and light.
In the mouth, the smooth texture and gorgeous sweetness spreads at once, and at the end, the firm acidity, typical of kijozo sake, tightens the whole.
The raw material is Miso Nishiki from Akita Prefecture, and the rice polishing ratio is 50%.
The luxurious setting is typical of kijoshu, but it is also playful and fun, making you think, "What? It is a super sweet sake, but it is also saturated.
It is super sweet, but it is well-balanced enough to be enjoyed all the way through without getting tired of it.
The brewer's enjoyment of taking on a challenge was evident, and it was an exciting drink to sip!
