Bike Masamune Nama-no-Mazake⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 80%, ALC 16%.
Brewed using the same process as junmai-shu, this slightly dry sake has the carbonation characteristic of nama-nazake in the mouth, but with a hip flavor.
This sake is brewed with sake rice grown by Mr. Yamamoto, a motorcycle rider at Yamamoto Sake Brewery in Akita, himself.
I learned for the first time that a sake cannot claim to be "junmai-shu" unless the rice used has undergone a grade inspection.
I guess it is important to use quality-assured sake rice in order to protect the brand quality of "junmai-shu" sake. If inexpensive junmai sake made with poor quality rice becomes available in the market, it will accelerate the shift away from sake 😅.
