On a day when I happened to be in the mood to try a variety of kijoshu after drinking Shinmasa, and I also happened to be in the mood to try Aizu Miyazumi, I looked in the store and found Miyazumi's kijoshu even though it had been on sale for more than four months! It was a fateful encounter, so I took it home and went right to work!
From the aroma, it was gorgeous! The fresh and sweet aroma of watermelon and melon wafts through the air. I thought it was a little sweet and sticky brewing water, but could this be due to the use of sake in the brewing process for kijoshu? I am not sure yet.
The melon-like sweetness is very concentrated and envelops you all at once. The sweetness is very intense! And it is slow, elegant, and crisp, with no excessive sweetness remaining. A little sweetness lingers on the palate and leaves a wonderful aftertaste.
This sake was easier to drink than expected. I would like to try the junmai sake Miyazumi next time. Thank you again for the sake tonight!
