Report on the 7th Sake Tasting Session (4)-1. The fourth brewery was Shirasugi Shuzo. The fourth brewery was Shirasugi Shuzo, which brews all of its sake with rice. Of course, Mr. Yuki Tadatsu, the brewer, was there. Mr. Tadatsu is an Instagrammer, TikToker, and Shirasugi Brewery celebrity. Mr. Tadatsu has an unusual background, having worked for the National Taxation Bureau as a tax collector before moving to a sake brewery as a tax payer and becoming a brewer. Tadatsu's publicity is varied, from real-life tastings and honest comments on sake released by the brewery's master brewer, Shirasugi Satoru, to time-lapse shows of labeling and other operations. We tasted four sakes from the Shirasugi Sake Brewery. The first sake was "NUE," an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake. The note said, "A sense of gas. The attack of the acidity was very sour, followed by a thick sweetness. Refreshing, with an indescribable complexity on the back palate. The chime is an imaginary monster with the face of a monkey, body of a raccoon dog, limbs of a tiger, and tail of a snake. The sake brewed with four types of Kyoto yeast and four types of koji was named NUE. I had a taste of it at a restaurant before, and it was indescribably complex because of the use of yellow, black, white, and mirin koji! I drank it again because I like it a lot.
