WOM
For the 8th bottle of the Sake Rice Study Group, I wanted to have one that the fierce participants had never had, so I offered this one, which I had purchased on a trip to Hikone, at a liquor store called Hayashiya. The entire bottle is pressed in a wooden tank bag, the rice is low-polished, and the rice is Hinohikari produced in Omi. It is full of stories. Hinohikari was developed by Miyazaki Prefecture 35 years ago to replace Koshihikari in the hot Kyushu region. It is a wonderful rice that anticipates the current heat wave. It is moving further and further north.
As for the sake, hmmm, this is totally different from Shinmasa, etc. Caramel type? Certainly sweet. Ripe fruit aroma. It was a unique world view.
