Hirotogawa and drinking comparison.
This is my first local sake post.
This is a small tank sake brewed by the only female toji in the prefecture.
The daughter of the current president has returned home to take over the brewing.
It is said that she is involved from the rice cultivation stage, and is particular about the subsoil water that is used for brewing sake.
Since it is a nama-shu, we had it cold.
It is a summer sake, so there is a little bit of lees at the bottom of the bottle.
The aroma is more subdued than Hirotogawa. Almost none?
When you put it in your mouth, there are two waves of sweetness, sourness and bitterness, and then it disappears clearly. The acidity is a little strong, but the elegant sweetness and solid umami are impressive.
However, this sake seems to come into its own at room temperature. As the temperature changes, the presence of the acid becomes less pronounced, and the thickness of the umami and sweetness increases.
To be honest, I wasn't sure how to even compare it to Hirotogawa, but I was surprised! It's so delicious.
The sweetness and clean aftertaste are reminiscent of Shinsei's Lapis. This sake has the potential to become Oita's representative sake!
I'll be supporting it from now on!
