Fukucho八反草 サタケシリーズ HENPEI
Dai
Purchased at Nonta's Sake Brewery, a roadside station in Saijo, Hiroshima.
In collaboration with local global rice-polishing machine manufacturer Satake, this sake is brewed with the flattened rice-polishing technology (apparently called "shingin") that achieves the same protein reduction rate as conventional rice polishing at 40%, whereas the state-of-the-art machine polishes rice at 60%.
The label is indescribably memorable!
Pineapple flavor. Then a mellow umami flavor fills the mouth. The full-bodied taste has no cloying taste, and the lingering spiciness and acidity fade away.
It is said that the other "GENKEI" (original form milled rice) has a different flavor direction from this one. I would like to try this one as well.
