Zaku雅の智 純米吟醸
toyo0111
A work found in a supermarket during a trip back home.
I first encountered Saku 12 years ago at Saku Izakaya in Oita, and was hooked at that moment.
I hadn't had it for a few months, but from the moment I put it in my mouth, it had an unmistakable and unique floral flavor. It is soft on the palate and has a sharp finish.
There were concerns that the price would rise to a premium after the Ise-Shima Summit, but fortunately the price has remained relatively stable due to the attention paid to Jushiyo and other mizu-kei (water-based) styles.
