The last drink of the day.
There was a bottle design of Shinomine that had a different atmosphere from the Shinomine we usually see, so I tried it.
Ise-Nishiki is Mie Prefecture's prized rice for sake brewing.
It is said to be the ancestor of Yamadaho, the mother of Yamada-Nishiki.
It was developed in Ise in 1860 from Yamato, a native rice, and was popular in the Kansai region for a while, but was no longer cultivated due to its tendency to fall over due to long sticks.
Motosaka Sake Brewery, which brews Hachibei sake, revived the cultivation of this rice as sake rice in 1991.
Since then, it has been brewed by other sake breweries, but I did not know that it was grown in Nara Prefecture.
This junmai sake is brewed with Ise-Nishiki produced in Nara Prefecture using Kyokai No. 6 yeast.
The appearance is pale yellow-green crystal.
The aroma is mild and sweet.
The aroma is mild and sweet, with juicy sweet banana, apricot, and rice cake aroma.
On the palate, there is a soft texture and a very slight gasiness.
Juicy sweetness and rounded acidity.
A cool, refreshing flavor spreads.
A tight aftertaste of slight bitterness and astringency.
Oh, this is delicious!
The gasiness is pleasant, moderately juicy, and the rice has a beautiful umami!
I tend to drink a lot of Kaze no Mori and Mimuro Sugi as Nara sake, but Shinomine also made me want to try a lot of other sake 🍶.
