Hachinohe Sake Brewery, famous for Mutsu Hassen, releases a new brew called Natsu Doburoku every summer. It is called Doburoku, but it is not doburoku, but an active nigorikku.
It is not doburoku, but an activated nigoroku sake, which maintains a high level of activity because the fermented moromi is bottled fresh and the yeast remains alive during the secondary fermentation process. It is delivered to you. The 69% milled rice ratio is probably a play on the word "Doburoku".
It was fizzing in the bottle and spewing out if I opened it abruptly, so I opened it slowly and carefully. It was surprisingly reluctant and took about 10 minutes, but I was able to open it without spilling. A mysterious sense of accomplishment even before I drank it! LOL!
Since it is a nigorizake, it looks pure white and has a lot of fine, crispy bubbles. There is almost no aroma. As soon as you put it in your mouth, the sparkling carbonation stimulates the inside of your mouth. It has some sweetness, but it's drier and easier to drink than I expected. The aftertaste is sweet like a pear and the fruity flavor slowly spreads in the mouth.
It was as powerful as the impact of the name "Doburoku". I was also surprised at how fizzy it was, even though there was no carbon dioxide gas injected into it. I was reminded once again of the fundamental power of yeast.
