Kifu Kamisen Miyake Sake Brewery
This is a sake brewery located near the Okayama Kokubunji Temple that I often go cycling to.
I rarely see it in supermarkets or liquor stores in Okayama Prefecture, so it seems to be a minor sake brewery that only distributes a very small amount.
Of all the Okayama sake I've seen, this is the yellowest in color. Muromachi Shuzo is also quite yellow, but even more so. It seems that only a small amount of activated charcoal is used.
The taste is rich and full-bodied, but not very sweet for a Okayama sake, and quite dry. It smells a little like shiitake mushrooms, which may divide some people's tastes.
It's a mellow sake with an unadorned aroma, similar to Muromachi Shuzo.
