"Perle de Riz." means "pearl of rice" in French. It's just like that!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that "Perle de Riz." is a collaboration between Tagaji Brewery, which has been working on nama-moto brewing since last year, and Natural Farming Komari Farm!
Natural Farming Komari Farm grows naturally cultivated rice without pesticides or fertilizers in Okayama, and this sake "Perle de Riz." is brewed by cutting the naturally cultivated Asahi rice in half (50% polishing), brewing it with nama-moto, and brewing it with No. 14 yeast.
The name "Perle de Riz." was given by Komari Farm's sister and her husband (the husband is a Frenchman who plays the horn for the German Philharmonic Orchestra) who live in Germany.
The above is the liquor store's description.
I think this is the first time to drink Bizen Asahi sake rice.
The taste... the harmony of the gaseous feeling and the concentrated umami and sourness was great! Like Shinomine, it can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, from slightly chilled to room temperature, lukewarm, or warmed up 😋.
It lives up to its name as the pearl of rice😍.
