This is a summer ginjo of Mutsu Hassen from Hachinohe Shuzo in Aomori Prefecture.
The sake rice is Hanabuki Snow from Aomori Prefecture, the rice polishing ratio is 55% koji rice and 60% kake rice, the sake degree is -6.0, the acidity is 1.6, and the alcohol degree is 14 degrees. (Each figure is taken from the internet)
The first thing that catches the eye is the cool blue bottle. From its appearance, it makes you think of summer.
The taste is also refreshing and typical of summer sake. It has acidity and a slightly dry aftertaste.
We thought it would be better to drink it chilled, so we served it in a copper sake cup, which has a high thermal conductivity.
I'd like to drink it again when it gets hotter, but I wonder if I'll have it in stock until then...
