This is a freshly brewed Chiyonohana Junmai Ginjo-shu from Sugihara Shuzo in Ibi-gun, Gifu Prefecture.
This is a local brand of Sugihara Shuzo, which brews Imi.
I have never had a bottle of Imi, but the brewer's comment on the back of the label is very unique, and it reads something like, "You wouldn't write that on a sake label, would you?" I love it because it conveys the warm and cozy atmosphere of the brewery.
The appearance is a light cloudy mist white.
The aroma is astonishing😳.
It smells like roasted cheese Parmigiano-Reggiano with a touch of honey!
Other aromas are savory like dried baked fish, sweet and savory like caramelized nuts, and a minerally aroma with a hint of overripe bananas in the background.
I've never had this type of aroma before😳 but it has a depth that is gradually becoming addictive: ☺️
The attack also has a cheese aroma with a sense of maturity and a thick texture.
The middle part of the attack has a firm sweetness and umami of rice, followed by a slight acidity and a light alcohol finish.
The rounded sweetness of koji remains in the aftertaste.
This is why sake is so interesting. ☺️
I felt the depth of the wine that I might get swamped with it.
I wanted to drink more 🤤.
Very delicious 🥰.
Thanks for the treat 🍶.
