Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Murashige Brewery Co.
Eight knot Light Yellow 2024
Bought when I went to Takashima after the storm passed with Mr. Bouken.
It is a brewery that revived the Kyokai No. 8 yeast, and it is made with 80% polished rice.
It is a test brew, so there is no front label.
It is a test brew, so there is no front label.
Mr. Bouken had informed us in advance that we needed to be careful when opening the bottle, but surprisingly, we were able to open the bottle with only a gas sound.
The top aroma is a mixture of pineapple and a slightly pickle-like aroma.
The color is quite yellowish and cloudy, and the mouthfeel has a slightly chuggy feeling.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the hinted aroma has quite an impact. The aroma is a combination of grapefruit and lactobacillus, and pickle-like aroma.
The taste is a combination of the lactobacillus and pickle-like aromas, and a sticky mass of sourness that lingers on the back of the tongue.
It is sour and sweet, but complex in many ways, giving the impression of a pickle in the middle of fermentation.
I thought it was sweet and sour and delicious when I tasted it, but...
No, it's a pretty weird sake 🤣.
I like it though 😋.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
I'm relieved I'm not the only one who felt the pickle sensation 🤣.
The brewery here seems to have a unique taste in the brewing water as well 🙄.
A strange taste from the water 🤣.
