新丸子屋
Hakuisen's newest sake, Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake. This is the first sake of the year from the brewery, brewed with freshly squeezed junmai ginjo rice from Hyogo Prefecture, and bottled without any modification or filtration. The koji rice is HYOGO SAKE 85, one of the next generation sake rice recommended by Hyogo Prefecture, and the kake rice is ordinary rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It is said to have a gorgeous aroma and a fresh, umami flavor that swells in the mouth.
Sake rice: Koji rice: HYOGO SAKE 85, Kake rice: Hyogo rice, Polishing ratio: 60%, Yeast: undisclosed
Served well chilled ✨
Tingling sensation of gaseousness that is typical of nama sake. The aroma is soft and sweet 😆.
Slight bitterness and acidity are in harmony with the soft sweet aroma. This sake has a freshness that only freshly pressed sake can have 🤤.
The bitterness and acidity stayed until the end, and the rice flavor came through at the end!
I paired it with the Tsuri Aji Sashimi and Chikuwa Isobe Tempura 👍.
The thick meaty horse mackerel sashimi was fresh and delicious and went really well with the sake. The chikuwa isobe tempura was also hot and packed with flavor!
