Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 Part 1
The last of the Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 will be Okushimizu. This is another brand I've never tried before. The main feature of this sake seems to be the use of cherry blossom yeast collected from the Yoshino cherry trees in the town. Another feature of this sake is the use of "Menkoina" rice from Akita Prefecture.
Being a cherry blossom yeast, I was expecting a cherry blossom aroma, but I didn't notice any. The taste is characterized by a rich sweetness. It's not a fruity sweetness, but rather a mouthful of sweetness that reminds me of soy sauce and mirin. It also has a unique alcoholic flavor. I think it is a friendly drink, like a relative's uncle drinking it with his evening drink.
Incidentally, some of my friends who were drinking with me said this was easier to drink than the first Kariho I drank. I tend to be swayed by name values, so I was deeply reminded of the importance of opinions without preconceptions.

Thanks for your comment, Mariponu! Akita Shun Ginjo seems to have sold out quickly. I read a tweet from President Sato of Shinsei and bought it immediately. I hope they do it again next year because there seems to be a lot of people who couldn't buy it this year!

It's too late to start talking about it after it's in the news 😅I have to keep my antennae up ☝️I think the planning ability of this Akita prefecture is great! Some of the prefectures have been cracked, lol. Really! I'd love to see you do it again 😄.
