Kuma
The local sake is too good to have a chance to drink sake from the west: ......
For the first time I bought sake from Sawaya Matsumoto.
They use Yamadanishiki from Okamoto Village in the middle of Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture, where they have a village rice contract with us, and I expected it to be in good condition this year, which is rare in recent years.
When I opened it, the cork flew out like champagne.
I've never had such an intensely gassy sake before.
Slightly sweet and grapey, with a crisp finish. I may have never tasted a sake with such a flavor. Interesting.
I have never been in the habit of drinking light nigori, so I completely forgot to shake it and ended up with a thick orikori. It was also delicious.
It didn't have much acidity, but it was a delicious sake that you could gobble up.
