From Shirasugi Shuzo, a sake brewery in Kyoto Prefecture (Kyotango City) that specializes in rice for general consumption, comes Shiraki Kyu MURCIELAGO unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
Murcielago, which means "bat" in Spanish, is made from 100% Koshihikari rice and brewed with wine yeast.
The bottle is a Bordeaux type with a cute label. It looks great in a wine glass.
The exterior is crystal with a slight yellow tint.
The aroma is mysterious, with banana peel and rice cake aromas mingling with each other, and a sweet aroma like ice wine, with a slight cemedine taste behind it, giving it a deep impression.
The mouthfeel is filled with a juicy, mellow sweetness and acidity, which quickly fades away when you think the acidity has taken over.
Although it is not gaseous, it leaves an aftertaste of acidity on the tongue.
Rolling the wine over, the mild sweetness of the rice can be felt, but the crisp acidity remains, giving it a dry wine feel.
If you drink it blind, you may think it is a dry white wine, but it has the sweetness of rice. I wonder if it would be a dry white wine if drunk blind, but the sweetness and umami of the rice could not be hidden and it would still be a sake! I wonder if it would be 🤔.
It was a very interesting and delicious sake 😎.
Thank you very much for your hospitality 🍶.

Hi Ponchan 😃
Murcielago is of course recommended, but Shirasugi Brewery also makes other interesting sake, such as Honey Trap, which is brewed with alternating layers of yellow and black malted rice, which is quite interesting 🍶.
