Takachiyo Shuzo's "59(Kyoku)Takachiyo" (also known as Alphabet Takachiyo) is a series of sake with a 59% polished rice ratio and different rice used.
In fact, this is the first Alphabet Takachiyo.
Despite this, I chose a mysterious sake labeled "Morinokuma-san" (Bear of the Forest).
Apparently, this "Morinokuma-san" is a rice developed in Kumamoto.
The rice is a crossbreed of Koshihikari from eastern Japan and Hinohikari from western Japan, and is said to be a hard rice.
It has almost no aroma. It has a faint pineapple and muscat-like aroma.
Slight bubbles are rising in the glass.
In the mouth, the flavor is similar to the aroma. Pineapple is present, but it is not so flashy as to be tropical, and is only one of the flavors that can be detected.
The key to the flavor is the acidity! Sourness is the main flavor of this sake.
There is almost no sweetness. There is also an unexpectedly soft alcohol taste.
The word "dry" may remind one of the spiciness of alcohol, but the best way to describe it is "bitter" because it has a bitter taste combined with the sourness and alcohol.
Naturally, it is light and light.
This is a perfect food wine. It is the kind of wine that will make you eat more and more when paired with oily food.
I guess rice rice has a milder taste because its grains are smaller than sake rice.
