A SAKE from Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture.
Under the Liquor Tax Law, it is classified as another brew, but it is a new type of sake made with 88% milled rice from Fukushima prefecture.
Unlike the usual Hanuta Hops, different hops are used.
The color is a pastel shade of light purple. The cork part of the bottle is a slightly milky purple. The purple color is due to the polyphenols from the hops.
The aroma is of grapes with a youthful green note from the hops, which are a secondary ingredient.
The taste is mainly of white grapes, with a touch of grapefruit bitterness and a mild sweetness. Slightly gassy.
When paired with mirin-grilled mackerel, the taste of the mackerel becomes moderately refreshing.
It is a new sensation as a drink.
I am looking forward to the future development of haccoba.
