shitakke
When the temperature rises a bit, the buds blossom! When it was too cold, I thought it was alcoholic and didn't seem to have any flavor on it. However, that did not seem to be the case as it should have been. I guess it is a slightly sweet-leaning sake with a touch of acidity and sharpness. The aftertaste is a bit bitter. Unlike my initial impression, I found it quite drinkable.
The sake is made from "Rohafu," rice suitable for sake brewing, which is grown only in Nara Prefecture. This rice is also used for Nara's sake, Kaze no Mori and Mimuro Sugi. Apparently, the cultivation of this rice was once discontinued, but the Choryu Sake Brewery, which brews this sake, has worked to revive it!
