Bijofu純米吟醸 CEL-66
Kensan_Nabe
Bijou is a famous sake from Kochi.
It is a namaishu named "CEL-66" which is Kochi's original yeast.
The rice used for this sake is "Gin no Yume", Kochi's own sake rice.
It has a refreshing mouthfeel and a slight foam. It is a dangerous sake that is easy to drink. It also has a strong umami taste.
Kochi sake is often said to be dry, but recently there have been many trendy, aromatic sakes on the market. However, people in Kochi tend to shy away from sake that has a strong aftertaste, so most of the sake seems to retain its lightness.
This Bijou is also a namaishu, but the aftertaste is really refreshing, so you won't get tired of it.
I paired it with almonds and other nuts, and it was outstandingly delicious.
