＜Juicy grapefruit, sour, sweet, bitter.
This is a sake from Shirasugi Shuzo in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture. The brewery has a mysterious obsession with using edible rice instead of sake brewing rice.
It is said that this bat-san uses all Koshihikari rice. And the yeast is for shochu. The koji is partly white, but even that is unusual. The naming, the label design, the raw rice and the yeast. It is so different from the usual one that we can't imagine the taste at all.
Then, let's drink it.
The aroma is sweet and fruity with citrus. Oh, this citrus is like white koji.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a fruity sour sweet taste and a slight bitter taste. This is a grapefruit, isn't it? It's also the one with sugar on it. Juicy and delicious!
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Anna, the main character in "Marnie of Memories". This is Anna when she is with Marnie.
Due to various reasons, Anna has a bitter taste in her heart and rejects others. However, she has sweet and sour feelings for Marnie.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
