Gentle sweetness and a tangy aftertaste. The impression on the palate and the aftertaste are in stark contrast. It has a refreshing taste, so you won't get tired of drinking it! Due to my lack of study, I didn't have an image of sake in Shimane Prefecture, but I did learn that there is a delicious sake in the area. I didn't know it was the birthplace of sake! The brewery, which has been in existence for about 300 years, uses ultra-soft water for its brewing water, which is considered unsuitable. The brewery uses ultra-soft water, which is unsuitable for brewing, in order to bring out the flavor of the rice. The origin of "Gassan", the mountain you can see from the brewery, comes from the Warring States period, when there was a castle and the best sake of the year was named after the best sake of the year in the region, which was offered to the lord. It's said that gods gather in Izumo, but I guess the only thing they have for a party is beautiful sake. I'm jealous when I imagine it! There are many theories about the birthplace of sake. Again, I didn't study them. The reason for the Shimane theory is that there is an account of it in the history books.
