Taxi Driver純米原酒 仕込み２号
じじ
On another business trip to Morioka, I was confronted with a bottle of Iwate sake.
Cab Driver, with its rather disturbing label, is a representative bottle from Kikumori Shuzo, a pure rice brewery in Kitakami City, Iwate Prefecture. The sake is said to be named after a dark movie starring De Niro, but the other brands also have names like Denki Bosatsu (Electric Bodhisattva), and this all-out subculture makes one feel like the old Village Vanguard...
Although it is a draft sake, the brewery's introduction includes some unexpected phrases, such as "It can be kept at room temperature" and "Try heating it up.
I opened the bottle and drank it cold, and found it to be rich and dry, a bit like "Bakuren". I quite liked the taste. I am looking forward to seeing how the taste will change.
The third one is Iwateyama.
