麹 Joe
Sake from the Tohoku region that you don't often see in your neighborhood.
Nanbu Bijin, which I was curious about because of the movie Kanpai.
The impression is of a local sake with a unique character of the rice used to make it. From the perspective of the Yamada Nishiki benchmark, the lingering finish is unique. The ginjo aroma that pierces the nose is subdued, and the texture that lingers on the tongue leaves a favorable impression. It is a very hard-to-find sake, but I felt I understood a little bit of what Iwate Prefecture stands for.
The taste is full of the brewer's attention to detail.
