Kumakichi
A comparison of Junmai Daiginjos from Tasake as a reward for cheering yourself up after a busy and exhausting day.
The second bottle
Tasake Junmai Daiginjo Koshiro Nishiki
This is a Junmai Daiginjo brewed with "Koshiro Nishiki" that got me hooked on Tasake.
Koshiro-Nishiki is Aomori Prefecture's rice suitable for sake production, bred by Nishida Shuzo, the brewer of Tasake.
This one is different from Akita Sake Komachi, with a rich sweet flavor that is enchanting!
The top aroma is mild and quite subdued, but once you take a sip, it is characterized by a refreshing sweetness, extended umami, and a beautiful acidity.
The bitter aftertaste that lingers at the back of the tongue is not persistent, and the taste is pleasant and comfortable.
Rice polishing ratio: 45% (100% Kojo-nishiki)
Alcohol content: 16%.
