It's a rich, sweet and bitter, unfiltered pure sake.
The label has a great impact.
When you drink it, the impact of the label is unmistakable. Immediately in the mouth, a rich pineapple-like sweetness and bitterness spreads out, and it cuts cleanly, leaving a bitterness in the aftertaste. Delicious!
The yeast is called "Yuko's Thoughts", a yeast from Iwate. I don't know who you are, Yuko-san, but is this what you are?
This sake is actually a collaboration with the Kikumori Sake Brewery in Iwate. The brewery switched the Tokushima yeast from Miyoshikiku and the yeast from Iwate for this sake. By the way, the name of the Kikumori product is "Sonemi" (jealousy). Two things together make me jealous! I'm curious about this one too!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Senba from "Spirited Away". Well, she's a villain, but it's the villain's charm that makes the movie interesting. There is no "Spirited Away" without Senba, is there?
And Senba is not just a villain. Aburaya is a very white company that gives special bonuses to newcomers based on their performance, provides proper breaks and meals, and protects its employees from violent customers. But the love for what they like is so strong that they're obsessed with it. It's a true "envy".
Satisfaction Level: ★★★★☆ .
