アラジン
It was the first time in two days that I had not been able to go to my favorite standing bar for a while, so I decided to go there on this day.
To my surprise, 2 bottles of Shinshu Kamerei were uncorked! I drank as much as I could at the event the other day, but that's it, that's it 😁.
Before that, let's start with Amezure, which I was also curious about.
The brand name "Afuri" has been in the news due to a trademark lawsuit with the famous ramen restaurant "AFURI".
The news was out that AFURI (Yoshikawa Brewery) had won the lawsuit, although it was unclear whether it had been finalized or not.
So, Amezure continues to be released.
This is the first release of Amezure.
It is made from 100% Omachi rice with a low milling ratio of 90%.
It is a low-alcohol sake with an alcohol content of 13%, brewed in the Yamahai style with a koji ratio of 40% (double koji), double the normal ratio.
The specs are a bit long 😅.
It doesn't feel like a brand you should drink for the first time.
The appearance is a pale greenish silver yellow.
The aroma is strong with sweet cream cheese, sour cream, and whey, typical of Yamahai.
The taste is sweet like honey with an impressive refreshing acidity and a hint of dairy products.
The second half of the bottle is very smooth, as if it were made with low alcohol.
The aftertaste is moderate.
I want to try the others 😄.
