We received our second bottle of Sogapère Ephis this season.
Since it is a liquor made by a winery, it is in the style of a wine bottle with a cork stopper. It comes in a 750 ml bottle, the same as the wine, which is a nice touch.
The last time I drank this wine was with Numeroin No. 1 yeast, and this time it was with Numero Sisu No. 6 yeast.
We were fortunate to be able to purchase two bottles of Sisu, one normal lot and one Ikeda lot. The first bottle we opened this time was the Ikedalot, made with Miyamanishiki from Ikeda Farm.
According to the back label, "2024 Ikeda Rice is tighter, slenderer and more magical than usual. It is an aphrodisiac sake that marries perfectly with the sake yeast." I tasted both when I bought it. I tasted both when I bought it, and it is true that the Ikeda is a bit thinner and sharper than the
The normal one tasted a little fuller and rounder.
Sogapère Ephis has a quality assurance period specified by the manufacturer, and if it exceeds the period, it may have a "super-geeky aroma and taste". The flavor is more rounded than when we tasted it, and the greenish taste of youth seems to have mellowed. The complex flavor of the sake's traditional sake yeast yeast yeast has been deepened, making it a perfect match for the expression "a scenic sake".
