We had a tour at Asahi Shuzo, the brewery of Otters!
To commemorate the visit, I bought a bottle of Polished 20% Sanbu, labeled by the head brewery,..!
It is very clear on the palate with a clear sweetness afterwards.
The sake was made with the aim of achieving a sake degree of +/- 0 and the pyruvic acid content was kept under control by daily graph control in each tank.
The rice polishing ratio is 23%, giving the impression of a noble sake with little cloying taste.
It was the first time for me to visit the brewery,
I feel that sake tastes better when you know what is going on at the brewery.
The head office is a 12-story building, and the processes proceeded in order from the top floor.
I was able to learn a lot from the tour, which showed me the general process except for the koji room.
At the end of the tour, we were able to compare three different daiginjos, which was very satisfying.
The label depicts the Kuma Kengo-designed Hisasugi Bridge that connects the Otters Store across the Higashigawa River from the head office.
If I have a chance, I would like to go back.
