From Kawatsuru Shuzo in Kagawa Prefecture...
KAWATSURU Olive Junmai Sake (W)
Junmai-shu brewed with 100% Sanuki Yomai rice from Kagawa Prefecture and Sanuki olive yeast (KO18) from olives in Shodoshima!
It is shipped after hiya-iris (fire-aged), so it is more like "autumn-aged" than "hiya-oroshi".
After a summer of aging, it has a very good balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity, each with its own characteristics!
The aroma has a fruity and refreshing fruitiness derived from Sanuki olive yeast, with a hint of lactic acidity derived from the yeast's natural yeast.
The quality of the sake is clear and refreshing, but you can taste the swelling sweetness and umami of "Sanuki Yomai".
The contrast with the robust acidity of the "Namahashidate brewing" is enjoyable, and combined with the slightly low alcohol content and pleasant astringent taste, it is crisp and clear, making it easy to enjoy a cup of sake.
