Manzai rice
Rice polishing ratio: 70
Manzai rice was the rice offered to the Emperor Taisho on the occasion of his enthronement ceremony in November 1915. Its cultivation had ceased as the months passed since then, but a farmer in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, has revived it for the first time in 100 years.
At this point, I was curious to know what the rice tasted like.
The aroma is faintly muscat-like.
The taste had a melon-like sweetness and sourness at first, with a slight gassy sensation.
The balance of sweetness, spiciness, acidity, and umami is wonderful, as is typical of Nitoshi. The flavor changes as you drink it, so you can enjoy it for a long time.
I still like Ni-Rabbit.
