＜It's a beautiful sour sake.
This is another brand of Chiyo Shuzo, which is famous for "Shinomine" and "Kushira". It's not on the official website either. I first heard about it when I saw it being heavily promoted at a local supermarket. Is it a local limited sake? Or is it a private brand? The rice used is 100% Nara Prefecture's sake brewing rice, "Roha Kaze".
The aroma is alcohol and lactic acid plus a strong muscat acidity.
On the palate, the soft acidity comes in slowly, and the umami spreads slowly from behind it. The sourness continues throughout the second half, and a faint bitterness also appears. There is a hint of sweetness. Basically, it is dry. The overall impression is clean and beautiful.
If I compare it to Ghibli, it is the theme song of "Princess Mononoke" sung by Yonera Miichi. It's like, "The beauty of a sharpened blade, its cutting edge resembles your profile. There is sharpness, but there is also tenderness in it, and it is beautiful.
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆.
I have the full version on my blog, complete with character images. If you'd like, you can search for "Korune Sake" or visit the link in my profile section!
