SAMURAIZ
Today is the first visit to the San-in region. First time! Even though it is from the Hiaue Sake Brewery, the sake we encountered was not a standard sake. It is the first sake made with white malted rice.
In the mouth, it has light acidity and a hint of sweetness, with a citrusy aroma reminiscent of white wine escaping through the nose.
The bitterness is kept in check, so it is delicious even when drunk on its own, and since it has a mouthfeel reminiscent of white wine, it is best served with dishes involving olive oil. It is good with sea bream or octopus carpaccio. It is delicious.
The first sake that the brewery tried was excellent, so my expectations for their regular sake have been raised considerably.
I'm looking forward to encountering it somewhere, as I enjoy "no charge" encounters that I don't order in.
