A brief review of the 2nd National Sake Breweries' Sake and Talks @ Kyoto Miyako Messe. From Shimomura Sake Brewery's Okuharima, here's one that left an impression on me, not whether it tasted good or not. Ame-no-oto ni Tsumoru" is a low-alcohol (13% alcohol by volume) junmai ginjo-shu. What impressed me most was the water! It feels like you are drinking water from the moment you put it in your mouth to the moment you swallow it down. The watery sensation makes you forget that you are drinking sake. The aroma of rice and the taste of sweetness and sourness seem to have gone away. The others all said the same thing: "It's water! I am sure I am not the only one. It was impressive because it was so easy to drink, but I was also surprised that Shimomura Shuzoten, a brewery in Okuharima, brewed and commercialized this sake. It might be good on a very hot summer day 🤔.
