南十字輝7/10
They say that Ryuriki is made with a new rice that was newly released last year.
A little research revealed that they developed a new rice called "Shinryoku," which is a cross between the rice that Ryu-ryoku revived in 1992 for the first time in 100 years and Yamada-Nishiki.
The rice was certified as suitable for sake brewing in April 2022, and they named it "Shinryu Nishiki.
The sake brewed with this rice is called "Shinryu Nishiki.
For my generation, I call it "Shenlong Nishiki.
I got the impression that it has a strong umami and aroma, and is not very Ryuriki-like.
I wonder if it actually has a little more acidity.
