ねむち
The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival ①.
I didn't go last time, but I thought I might as well go if 24 breweries were coming.
First up was Shichiken, a soft-water brewed sake from Yamanashi.
I have had seasonal sake, but I had never tried their regular sake, so I tasted it.
◉Shichiken Sparkling Yamanokasumi
We started off with a sipping seshuwashu to wet our thirst. It is a light nigori (light cloudy color) due to secondary fermentation in the bottle. I thought it might be a rice champagne, but the taste is surprisingly dry and refreshing.
◉Shichiken Sparkling Sora no Sai
Another second fermentation in bottle. This sake was served at the G7 summit in Hiroshima.
Fruity, with fine bubbles and a deep sweetness.
◉Shichiken KAZEI BIZAN Junmai-shu
Sake rice is Hitogochiki. The rice is Hitogochi, with a hint of sourness and sweetness, and a soft mouthfeel.
Shichiken Kinu no Aji Junmai Daiginjo
The rice used for this sake is Yumesansui. This is an elegant and sharp mid-meal sake. This is an elegant and sharp food sake with good cost performance.
Junmai Ginjo and above use Yumesansui.
It gives the impression of a clean, easy-to-match food sake.
