This time, we will be serving Dai-Go-No-Ido no Nama-Hashiroshi.
We compared two different rice varieties, Senbon-Nishiki and Hachitan-Nishiki.
Dai-Go-No-Ie is a Hiroshima sake,
We met Mr. Murakami at the Sake Festival at Osaka Takashimaya and brought this sake back to him.
We started with Senbon-Nishiki.
It is served cold.
The color is a soft yellow-orange.
The aroma has a hint of hojicha (roasted green tea), cacao, and the sweetness of rice.
The mild mouthfeel is followed by the acidity of the sake's original yeast, a hint of astringency, and a mild bitterness. The intertwining of these flavors creates a taste that is indescribably complex.
When heated,
When warmed up, the full-bodied sweetness and citrusy acidity stand out, creating a crisp, juicy flavor with a savory veil.
The citrus acidity makes a complex sake, which tends to be heavy, light and delicious.
Then we move on to the Hachitan-Nishiki.
