It has a very fruity taste with a hint of melon and banana. Not only is it sweet, but it also has a delicious flavor and a good amount of bitterness that lingers afterwards!
This is delicious...
The Noto Toji is one of the four great toji (master brewers) of Japan. I had the impression that Noto sake has a rich and robust flavor and should be served with fresh seafood, but I was happy with just the sake.
As a sake lover, I was concerned about what would happen to Noto's sake breweries after the earthquake.
One of the breweries, Kazuma Shuzo, is a sake brewery that I have visited at their directly managed store.
The harsh reality of not being able to brew the planned amount of sake due to the disaster prompted Akatake Brewery, a sake brewery that had suffered from the disaster, to seek out ways to help. We were also surprised to learn that one of the former brewers of Akabu Shuzo has married in Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, and is now working at Kazuma Brewery.
The situation continues to be difficult, with the population outflow accelerating in depopulated areas and the lack of progress in dismantling public funds. I decided to continue to actively pick up sake in the future in the hope that one of Noto's wonderful cultures will continue for a long time.
