一本義 仙介🇺🇦
This is a sake from my hometown - Echizen Ono (Ono City, Fukui Prefecture).
It used to be sold at roadside stations, but I looked for it again on my return trip, but I didn't seem to see much of it in the city. I wondered if they are limiting the amount of brewing - or if they are just out of stock.
This is the one I found in my parents' fridge.
Cool and pungent.
A cool spiciness, followed by a nice, clean rice flavor.
Then, a strong wave of spiciness hits you.
The spiciness swells up while accepting freshness, umami, and sweetness.
The intense flavor is intoxicating.
After all, Genpei is delicious.
I found out that Genpei Shuzo went bankrupt last November, and the direct sales shop was closed.
The story of the bankruptcy and revival of the brewery was also seen in the morning drama "Ranman," and I look forward to the time when I can experience the taste of Genpei again.
