This was after we had the Oroku 3-drink comparison at the 1st anniversary of Yamanaka Sake Shop Eki Marche Osaka at Osaka Station.
Shinsei time!
This time, we were served our first Suiboku (ash)!
I had never had a chance to try it before, but I finally did 😂.
And it was served open-mouthed!
Kame-no-o used to be a sake rice comparable to Omachi, but it disappeared after its cultivation was discontinued for a while.
The brewery Kusumi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture revived it, and later it was featured as the model for "Natsuko's Sake" and became well known, leading to its revival.
Kame-no-o is made from 100% Kame-no-o rice, polished to 45% and brewed in a wooden vat.
The appearance is warm crystal.
The aroma is bitter sweet and sour with a hint of grapefruit, with an added touch of wooden vat.
The taste is sweet white grape flesh with freshness and a slight bitterness of the skin, completely like a white wine or sherry.
I've never tasted a sake that fit the tasting notes on the back label as well as this one did 😳.
Blind, you might not even be able to tell it's really sake.
It's as clear as can be, so the flavor isn't strong, but it was very good 😋.
Thanks for the treat 🥰.
