Shoryu Horai Kimoto Junmai R3BY Awa Yamada-Nishiki 75, 17% 17%, 75% raw sake
720ml 1650yen
Wow, I honestly licked it.
I had a bad impression of this after drinking a fire-brewed Zanso Hourai, but that has completely changed. Shoryu's nama is amazing.
First of all, the freshness of the mouthfeel. The spiciness is +5, and the sweetness is fruity with a hint of bittersweetness. The sweetness is fruity with bitterness, and the fruit and lactic acids give the sake a unique strength. It has a great sense of being made directly at the vat.
The yeast is my favorite No. 7.
My favorite Kanagawa sake is Matsumidori and Sagaminada, but Shoryu has also been added to my list.
