如空Buveur 純米生貯蔵酒 2021BY
Kab
This is a sake made from 75% polished rice and kept at a sake brewery for one year. According to the brewery's website, they are aiming for both umami and sharpness, and I wonder if the 75% polished rice and the one-year laying down of the rice at the sake brewery will add to the umami.
It is not a regular product, but a seasonal product that is shipped in May every year.
Cold sake. It is quite yellow. It has a slight apple-like aroma, typical of Aomori.
When you drink it, you can taste the sweetness for a moment, then the umami of the rice comes through strongly, and it gradually becomes spicy and crisp.
When heated to 45°C, the umami turns sour. The balance is a little off, so this is clearly a cold sake.
It is not a classic but rather a mediocre light dry sake, but a dry sake with a well-balanced and complete umami, which I personally like very much. I personally like it a lot. It does not drop even on the 5th day after opening the bottle.
It is priced at last year's price, so the cosmetics are superb! (Like many breweries, the price seems to have been raised this year 😅, but still cheap)
It doesn't even have a sense of maturity, and if you weren't told, you wouldn't notice that it was a year old.

Good evening, Kab.
That looks kind of delicious!
I envy you because I can't easily buy Hachinohe Sake Brewery's sake in Tokyo.

Good evening, Matsuchiyo 😊.
I'm mail order too💦 and I'm surprised to find it more beautiful and tasty than I expected 😅Next time I'll also have Hakutsuru (the same store that carries it).
