Nagano, Japan. Higashi-Iida Brewery Co.
Komatsubara Gengei Junmai Daiginjo Kasumishu.
This was the only liquor store I stopped by in Nagano Prefecture, and as I looked around, I was intrigued by a label I'd never seen before. And it was a limited edition.
First of all, I couldn't read what the kanji characters said, but I confirmed it was "Komatsubara Tsurugi" in romaji.
I asked the owner about it, and he told me that it was a brewery produced by brothers.
One of the 4-goupe bottles (4/10) I brought back from my trip.
I had it cold.
The color is slightly cloudy because it is a haze sake.
The top-rising aroma is mild and not much.
The mouthfeel is not very creamy and flows surprisingly smoothly.
It is quite clear and easy to drink, with a slightly loose taste. The aroma on the nose is a little apple-like.
The fact that it is drinkable like water is probably due to the fact that it is a pure Dai class and has been polished well.
There is a slight lingering bitterness in the aftertaste.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Polishing ratio: 49
