Craft saké based on the "Hana-Hashiroku" method of making doburoku from the Tohoku region using the Oriental hop "Karakaso", and also containing hops similar to those used in beer.
This time, Sencha green tea from Shizuoka's main mountain is added to this special order!
We used beer bottles, but the carbonation is not that strong.
Mildly fizzy compared to regular activated nigori
The aroma is of blue grass, flowers, citrus and grapes from the hops, and a refreshing hint of tea.
Complex, yet very fresh, with a beautiful finish that is rarely found in craft beers.
The main flavor is the sweetness of the rice.
The taste is mainly rice sweetness with a hint of grapeiness from the hops and a touch of chouxiness.
There is also a slight tea flavor and astringency, making it a very deep beer.
Delicious!
I also enjoyed the hops with agave, and I wonder if rice sake might be a better match for hops than beer made with malted barley.
