It's summer drinking season 🌻.
Too many temptations and the fridge capacity can't keep up 😅.
I went to the Asano Sake Shop Umeda Mimuro Sugi Fair to drink the Mokoke Bodaihashiro and was able to get the Mimuro Sugi Summer Jun as a set 🍶.
It is a 100% Yamada-Nishiki, 65% polished rice, 14% alcohol by volume, fire-aged type.
Summer sake is also divided into low-alcohol type and high-alcohol type recommended for the rocks, and this seems to be the former type.
The appearance is crystal clear.
The aroma is refreshing with a kiwi-like sourness and a hint of koji aroma.
It has a watery texture, starting with acidity and disappearing quickly in balance with umami.
There is also a rather bitter taste, with a medium level of sourness and bitterness as a lingering aftertaste.
I personally found it a bit surprising for a summer sake from Mimuro Sugi, and thought it would be more like a cider with the usual image, but it certainly had a refreshingly sour aroma and flavor that gave the impression of a summer sake, but it was quite sake-like.
I have already purchased and reviewed a four-pack of Hana-Kyun before, so I won't check in this time, but it was still great 💖 with a bit of bitter sweetness and flavor from the darker tailing.
Thank you for the sake 🍶.
