Fukui, Niiri-gun, Fukui Prefecture. Niu Sake Brewery Co.
Asukai: Junmai-genshu, sake made from fresh yeast.
Purchased in Osaka at a store in Fukushima that has a good selection of Sanin sake and sake for heating.
It is a fairly small brewery, and they have a toji who came from elsewhere to sit down and make sake.
We had it cold.
The color is quite yellowish.
The aroma is a little lactic, woody, nutty, and slightly sweet in the back, and is complex and difficult to understand.
On the palate, it has a trolley-like texture.
The taste is a slight brown sugar-like sweetness at first, and slowly coats the tongue with sourness.
The spiciness starts to stimulate the tongue in the middle, and the taste quickly disappears.
At room temperature, a sourness that tastes like a sourness comes out.
It can also be served heated at 45-50℃.
The fragrance and the hint of aroma become chocolate-like, the acidity becomes more assertive, and the tingling sensation on the tongue is a bit amplified.
The tingling sensation on the tongue is slightly amplified.
I think it tastes better when warmed up.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Ingredients: 100% Kuzuryu rice produced in Eiheiji-cho, Fukui Prefecture
Polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 17.5

Good evening, Nemuchi 😃
I didn't know that Kuzuryu rice is suitable for sake brewing 😳
This sake brewed with Kuzuryu looks good heated 🍶.
I want to be a sake drinker who can also enjoy this kind of sake instead of drinking only modern sake 😌.

Hello, Nemuchi-san!
I didn't know there was a sake shop in Kansai that carries Asukai, which bouken-san also wanted to try 😲.
It has a different water source from the main sake breweries in Fukui and has a long history, claiming to be the oldest brewery in Fukui 😁.

Hello Nemuchi 😃
Looks like it is suitable for warmed sake as the label suggests 😊.
I found out about Kutouryuu when Sanzen Sakura used it when it was in Gifu 😁I have the impression that not many breweries use it 🤔.

Aladdin, good evening 🌛I don't see much Kuzuryu rice, but like bouken, I had an image of Sanzen Sakura 😊 Recently I've been thinking of trying some classical and heated up types 😆.

bouken, good evening 🌛I also have an image of Kuzuryu rice as Sanzen Sakura 😊I was attracted by the label I had never seen before and bought it immediately, so I missed the sake degree +8 on the back label 🤣It was exactly what the label said it was 😁.
