もよもよ
Aikoku No. 3 is an ancient variety grown in Tochigi Prefecture during the Taisho era (1912-1926) and is the ancestor of Koshihikari, Sasanishiki, Hitomebore, and others. It is from the wiki introduction that it was disease resistant but tasted bad. Are the ingredients required for food rice and sake rice different?
The taste is firm and rich, as is typical of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake of the figure. It is fruity and has a bitter grape-like taste. It also has a slightly graininess that is typical of sake.
It is delicious chilled, but at room temperature, I felt it had a good balance of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. It may also be delicious warmed. It has a delicious flavor that does not lose to strong flavors such as yakiniku.
