もよもよ
Hanaizumi Shuzo is a well-known sake brewery in Loman. Fukushima has a long history of being Japan's number one sake brewery in terms of gold medals won at sake competitions, and there are many high-level breweries in the prefecture. This time, it is a fully matured sake (not a common word) with a sweetness that is made by letting the raw sake sit for a year. The sake brewer's effort is appreciated!
The sake is bottled directly from the vat, so if you drink it early in the season, you can enjoy the freshness of the sake.
The taste is quite tasty, with a good acidity and umami, and a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The sweetness is firm, but the slight bitterness in the aftertaste gives it a grape-like quality.
It may be a good match for a strong beef stew, as it has a robust flavor. It is also quite good on the rocks.
