Next is a brand called Zuichi from Tsuneyama. I say next, but I am drinking it first, so I will skip the pause and go with the FILO style.
I had been interested in Tsuneyama for a long time, and there was "Zuichi" (Zuichi: first pressing at the tank) on sale by weight, so I bought it without hesitation.
As it is a 50% junmai (pure rice) from Gohyakumangoku, I imagined it would have a refreshing taste, but it turned out to be a betrayal of my expectations in a good way.
The first thing you notice is the melon aroma on the nose. This was followed by a rice flavor that could be called "umakuchi," and then a subtle gas that cancels it out.
Ahhh... this is delicious ...............
Overall, it's very current, but it's by no means the only one.
As with any sake, there is a single-mindedness to make a delicious sake, the techniques that have been cultivated, and the raw materials such as rice, water, and yeast....
This was one of those drinks that made me realize once again that sake is a collaboration of all of these factors.
