ねむち
The 2nd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival⑯.
Aizu Homare booth in Fukushima Prefecture.
This time, there was no Karahashi, but only Aizu Homare.
There was a Kitakata Terroir series, which I had in order from I to IV.
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE I
The rice is 55% Yamadanishiki polished rice with Fukushima dream yeast. It is dark and full-bodied with a strong umami flavor. This is my favorite, similar to my favorite Karahashi Yamadanishiki.
Kitakata Terroir EPISODE II
This sake is made with 70% polished rice using Yumekaori (dream fragrance) and Utsukushima Yume yeast. It has a sour to bitter taste and is slightly sweet, but has a Sake meter of +0.8.
◉Kitakata Terroir EPISODE III
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku. Sourness that tightens from a clear acidity. A citrusy sourness remained in my mouth the whole time.
◉Kitakata Terroir EPISODE IV
Junmai Daiginjo with 39% polished Yamadanishiki rice. It was well balanced with sweetness and umami. The sweetness and umami are well balanced and not all too assertive.
Fukufukunoka
The acidity is calm and converges with a little more umami.
I am glad I had the chance to compare the different series.
