まさまさ
One of my favorite breweries, Maruichi Sake Brewery, had released an interesting sake, so I bought it, half as a jacket purchase.
Last year they used foreign rice, but this year they used Yume Ginka rice and brewed it with black rice malt from Kamigotojima (the same type of malt usually used for Awamori).
I felt the spirit of the sake brewery as I opened the package.
At the first sip, the black malt gives it an assertive, voluminous, brown sugar-like sweetness, but the aftertaste is clean and rice-flavored, making it a delicious drink.
I was so excited to try it that I heated it up, and the assertiveness of the black rice malt became even stronger.
If you like Awamori, you'll definitely like this one, but if you prefer a lighter, fruity sake, this one may not be for you.
It was an excellent product that made me want to celebrate the possibilities and challenges of sake making.
I would buy it again next year✨.
