On a business trip to Minami Aizu, I bought "Sanno" from Kaiton Otokoyama Shuzo, at the same time as Kokugon, which I posted about last time. Kaiton Otokoyama Shuzo is a famous sake brewery that is well known to those in the know, but it has a strong image of being a local brewery, and is a liquor store in the metropolitan area You won't find it in the first place. So I buy it every time I visit. This time, I bought a Junmai Daiginjo that uses "Fukunoka," a newly developed rice suitable for sake brewing in Fukushima prefecture. It is. Slightly yellowish in appearance. It has a banana-like sweetness in the Ginjo aroma. It is common to all Minamiaizu Sake, but it has a very gentle taste. The water is soft. The taste is subdued in sweetness, refreshing and clear like water. I think it is the perfect sake to accompany the food and bring out the star of the show, perfect for evening drinks. On the second day after opening the bottle, the flavor came on and became even better. Sake that is rooted in the land and loved by the locals, it's great. I hope they continue to make this type of sake in the current diversification of Japanese sake. I didn't manage to capture the characteristics of the new sake rice "Fukunoka", so I'll be drinking more brands with Fukunoka in the future! I think.

Nice to meet you, nabe. Thank you for your comment. I see that you did! I have visited the sake brewery in Nakaarai! It's a great place for sake and soba noodles.
