The sake festivals in Nagano and Yoshino continue (actually they are not over yet) and I finally open the sake I bought at the Takashimaya event in May. I learned that a limited edition Sharaku was available, so I was a go! It's made with Yamashu No. 4, the parent of Sake Mirai, a cross between Yamadanishiki and Kinmonishiki. I have nothing but high hopes for this one ✨. I tasted it. What's wrong? It's different from the usual Sharaku. It doesn't have a thick, sweet taste! Even though it is the future parent of sake? According to the sales lady, it's dry and makes you want sashimi. Ummm, it's not what I expected 😭 I wondered what to do with it, but since it's a limited edition I came across, I took it home with me. The aroma is lychee and banana. Sweet aroma of rice. It's more sour and dry than the usual Sharaku, but I can also taste the banana flavor from the tasting. It may be closer to Miyazumi. It certainly goes well with sashimi. It was better than the tasting. Good 💨
