Chokki
Kimimandai Summer Sake Seishu Junmai Namaishu
15% 70%, 720ml, 1,320 yen
Purchased at a brewery in Toride City on the way back from a summer festival in Ibaraki.
It was a small brewery. The owner, who is a kind and gentle woman with a low profile, is very kind and welcoming.
On the label, there is a picture of a cat peeking out of the Masu.
The first sip of the bottle.
The freshness of the unpasteurized sake is strong. As the summer sake label suggests, it is refreshing and easy to drink. The alcohol content is the standard 15%, but it has a good mouthfeel.
The acidity is subtle and lingers on the palate.
It is a bit rude to say, but it is much tastier than I imagined it would be. However, most of the unpasteurized sake from unknown breweries is also delicious, so I would like to judge it in combination with the hi-ire sake I buy from this brewery.
