Sake bought as a souvenir from Iwate Test brew using M7 yeast My tentacles moved when I heard from the shopkeeper that he did not know if he would make it again next year. The rice is Kame-no-o from Kanegasaki, where my mother's family lives. Naturally, I became attached to it. When the hard cork is uncorked, it makes a nice sound. The aroma is mild, with just a hint of sourness. The first sip, when chilled, is sour. The second sip is sweet and sour. It is like drinking a sweet white wine or a good vinegar. The aftertaste has a light honey and bitterness. The alcohol content is 16%, which makes it easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. Later, I found out that M7 yeast is cultured from the yeast of Yoemon's brewery, which uses No.7 yeast, but I feel it is more powerful and wild than No.7. I remember there was a sake like this with a No. 6 yeast... I try to remember if Yoemon also tasted like this, but I can't remember. Let's drink it again.
