こん助
This sparkling sake is brewed by Daishinshu Brewery in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. Daishinshu's sparkling sake comes in two types, one with a 49% polished rice ratio and the other with a 59% ratio. Both types use Hitogokochi rice grown in the prefecture.
The bottle comes with instructions on how to open the bottle using an ice pick. If you have trouble, it is better to hold down the sake lid firmly and release the gas gradually. It will explode.
The aroma is floral and elegant. It has a milky appearance typical of nigori sake, but the taste is, in contrast, super dry. The harmonious sweetness and umami of Daishinshu runs like a shooting star along with the carbonation. While surprisingly refreshing, the lingering bitterness echoes gently. This is a bottle that not only creates a gorgeous atmosphere, but also enlivens the heart of the drinker.
