Kumakichi
Miraculously, last weekend I got a bottle of Rasch at my favorite liquor store.
Kangiku Meikozo Sake Mirai 50 Wonderland
This is the first unfiltered unpasteurized sake made from Sake Mirai that will be sold at Kangiku Meizou for the first time this year!
It is a limited edition sake and sold out in an instant when it went on sale this year. I went to several stores on the afternoon of the release date, but all of them failed..,
When I went to my favorite liquor store the next morning, they were sold out of the four-pack bottles, but I was lucky to find a single bottle for retail use on the shelves!
I immediately opened the bottle and found it to be a very rich melon juice! Many of Kangiku's sakes have a strong sweet flavor, but this one gave the impression of being much sweeter than most, while still having the freshness of an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake!
There is a bitter aftertaste at the end, and the flavor changes, which I personally liked very much!
Rice polishing ratio: 50% (Yamagata Prefecture's Sake Mirai)
