Purchased in October at Sunmart, a well-known local sake shop in Nagaoka.
Here it is! It's Kikuhime!
I am now completely captivated by Kikuhime.
After hi-ire, the brewer inspects the sake in the storage tanks to check the degree of maturity and any abnormalities. This process is called "nakagiri" because the mouthpiece of the storage tank is cut off during this process, and the sake that the brewer drinks during this process, in other words, the sake before watering, is called nakagiri sake.
This is why it is called "nadiri-hara-sake.
It is always impressive to see how rice can be brewed in such a way that it becomes so rich and full-flavored.
Hooray for Kikuhime and Yamahai.
