The "Sake-no-wa Kansai_Hankai Train Charter Off-line Meeting" held on 2023.8.26.
Drunkenness is progressing and my memory is almost at its limit, so here is the 8th bottle of my check-in.
It's Lapis 2020 from the colors series by Shinmasa Sake Brewery in Akita Prefecture, provided by Nemuchi-san 😳.
It has already been announced that the LAPIS series has been discontinued and will regrettably come to an end with the LAPIS that exists in the world today. I was thinking "Oh, I never drank Lapis after all" when I was able to have it this time😊.
As you know, the colors series is a fire-brewed series with different sake rice, but Lapis is Miyamanishiki.
The LAPIS is Miyamanishiki, the third largest sake rice produced in Nagano Prefecture.
The appearance is clear crystal.
The aroma is subdued, with hints of apple and pear.
On the palate, the texture is smooth and fresh, with a clear, fruity sweetness and umami, followed by a gentle acidity that spreads and quickly clears up.
The after-flavor has a light bitterness, but it does not linger.
I remember this with the help of the flavor comment on the back etiquette.
Anyway, I had the impression that it was a clean and clear sake with a transparent aroma and taste.
Thank you, Nemuchi-san, for the treat 🍶 & thank you for the bottle-opening service: 🙇♂️
