We visited Sudo Honke, the brewery that Seiji Rokkaku visited on his drinking trip. There is a magnificent garden and you can feel the history of the building.
The first sip.
The first sip.
Freshness. Rather, it is a bit watery.
There is a faint fruitiness, but it is not conveyed in the taste. No umami. I couldn't tell if it was unfiltered or not. Maybe it's not the right timing to pair it with food?
Tried again on the second day.
It was still watery. To put it another way, it is refreshing. It is a junmai daiginjo, so it is polished, but it does not have a full-bodied feeling. It does not have a cloying taste, but it is not the type of sake I would like to drink. It is like drinking disinfectant alcohol. A little disappointing for the price.
The brewery's website shows that they are very particular about the sake they make. I would like to try more of their other sake.
