Toukai Grain Sake Junmai Ginjo
60% 15% 720ml 1760yen
The Chieba-kun label makes it look like a souvenir sake, but it is not to be underestimated.
Grain Sake is the name of rice. It is said to be a rice produced in Chiba Prefecture that will make its debut in 2020.
It is fire-brewed but slightly juicy with a chirichiri-stimulus similar to gas. The astringency is accentuated. A big-boned sake.
Koizumi Shuzo, the brewer of Toukaizakari, has the impression of making rough sake, and this is just like that. However, this one has a nice cohesiveness.
It is not so good when heated, as it has a strong alcoholic taste.
Grain rice can also be eaten as rice, so if you see it, I would like to try it!
