I'll skip the tasting of Yamori and Ehime Ikkai since I've already posted them in the past, but next up is Li Bai.
I drank
Special Junmai
Gohyakumangoku from Shimane, 58% rice polishing ratio, Sake meter rating +4, No. 9 yeast, 15% alcohol by volume
This is a modest sake that seems to be good as a food sake. It seems light and dry, but has a gentle spiciness.
Orochi Special Junmai Dry Namaishu
The sake has a Sake meter of +7, and the other values are the same as those of the special junmai sake we drank earlier. It is said to be a raw sake with added water.
It claims to be dry and has a high Sake meter, but I didn't feel it to be that spicy. It is spicy, but not unpleasantly spicy.
Black rice brewed Hanaroh
Gohyakumangoku and ancient rice, 58% polished rice, flower yeast, Sake degree +1, Alcohol 15%.
It is made with yeast and ancient rice collected from peonies that bloom on an uninhabited island called Ma-jima.
The color is beautiful, like red wine. The taste is spicy with no sweetness at all.
We ended up buying the first one we tasted, Yamori.
