SAMURAIZ
Sake from Hayashi Sake Brewery in Toyama. We have many opportunities to seek out the familiar "Hayashi" in a bottle, but we received this commemorative sake when it was released.
The brewery has won the Kanazawa Regional Taxation Bureau's Honor Award for 10 consecutive years, and this is this year's "Honor Award-winning sake. With a rice polishing ratio of 35%, this sake is beyond the level of the sake I usually drink.
It has a soft mouthfeel with a hint of thickening in the mouth.
As it is an aruze sake, the aroma is well down to the sake, and a fruity sweet aroma like pears softly escapes from the nose.
There is no bitterness, and a refreshing acidity finishes it off.
At this level, it is more of a stand-alone wine to be savored as "delicious" than to be paired with something else.
We hope many "Hayashi fans" will enjoy this sake.
