Following Koshihikari's New Sensation (NS), we opened a bottle of Discovery's Identity (ID).
The rice used for the ID is Chiba Prefecture-grown So-no-Mai, the same rice used for the Silver Lining we drank in July. To recap, So-no-Mai is a Chiba-born variety produced from a cross between Hakumyo-Nishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing, and Chubu-72, a rice called Chubu-72. HIROMYOSHI-NISHIKI has OMACHI as its ancestor, and CHUBU 72 has KOSHIHIKARI as its ancestor, so it is like a thoroughbred in the sake rice world.
It is a light nigori unfiltered unpasteurized sake common to the Discovery series and looks exactly the same as the NS. The taste is "the Kangiku". It is fresh, sweet, juicy, and has the unique nuance of Kangiku. The bitterness in the aftertaste is also very typical of Kangiku, and it even gives a sense of relief.
The manufacturer named it Identity, meaning "proof of existence," and I felt the message that this is the very heart of Kangiku's sake.
I have some of the NS left over and would like to compare them at a later date.
