Goninmusumeいちごミード樽熟成
ひるぺこ
This time it is a strawberry mead barrel-aged junmai sake from Gojin Musume.
It's a collaboration sake between hot DJ Tsuketaro-san, Terada Honke in Chiba, and ANTELOPE.
I popped it when I saw Kirataso-san enjoying it😅.
There is a craft mead brewery called ANTELOPE in Shiga. Mr. Tsukitaro was so impressed with ANTELOPE's strawberry mead aged in bourbon barrels that he decided to try aging sake in these barrels! He decided that he wanted to try aging sake in these barrels, so he made an offer to the Terada family, and this sake was born.
It is served at room temperature.
It has a slightly golden color.
The top aroma is of honey and strawberries, and there is a gentle oak aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly thickened. The taste has a mild acidity from the sake yeast with the umami of rice, and the aroma of honey with the freshness of strawberry blends with it, leaving a gentle sweet oar aroma that disappears.
Sweeter than sake and lighter than mead, this exquisite 🍯🍓🥃✖️🍶 harmony is a must.
Is it heavy for the upcoming rainy season?
but it's surprisingly not bad.
Maybe it's the flavor that reminds me of plum wine.
I'm glad I got the dipping sticker too💕.

Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
Various types of barrel aging are becoming popular in sake 🤔 very interesting ☺️
I imagined it would taste like kijoshu, but it looks like it could also be enjoyed on the rocks with ice or chilled with gas 😊.

Good morning, Aladdin. Yes, it is like a kijoshu. It is easier to drink than kijoshu because it has a stronger junmai element than kijoshu, so you can enjoy the light honey sweetness and oaky aroma without being too rich 😊.
