I missed my flight and was sent to Yotsuya, so I went to Suzuden, a sake hall of fame. Wow, what a huge refrigerator in that basement! And I saw cardboard boxes of Jushiyo and Shinmasa! Well, it looks like they can't afford to sell them in stores.
Since I had looked around the store, I bought a bottle and went home.
This time, I bought a bottle of "Aizan," my favorite Kangiku and sake rice diamond. I don't know what kind of sake rice it is, but here we go! The aroma is sweet and fruity, with a particularly luxurious scent of strawberries. The aroma alone is enough to make you feel that this sake is luxurious. The brewing water is super smooth on the palate. I feel that modern sake has a tendency to be made with soft water, but I like it that way. Perhaps it is the name of the brand, but it has a strong strawberry-like sweetness. It is the strongest sake rice that combines flavor, sweetness, gorgeousness, and elegance, easily destroying the stereotypes that sake rice must be Yamadanishiki or Toyobai rice. It is well-balanced with just the right amount of sharpness. Kangiku is the best, and Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture is superb! I hope you will all enjoy it too. Thank you again for the delicious sake tonight!
