Rice: Domaine Sakura 100% Yamadanishiki Sengoku was recently rebranded under the theme of "Edo-style sake. As the name suggests, the brewery uses traditional sake brewing techniques based on documents from the Edo period (1603-1868). It has the elegant sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki and a gorgeous fruity ginjo aroma, yet it is light and refreshing. The lactic acidity of the sake is controlled and the sake is refined without any cloying taste. The recent trend seems to be shifting from sweet and juicy to sweet and refreshing.

HIRAN Sairan Road Brewery:Mori Shuzojo, Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture Rice used: Yamadanishiki, Omachi Alcohol Content: 14% alcohol by volume The deep umami and acidity characteristic of the sake brewing process are pleasantly spread out. When you take it into your mouth, you can feel its rich sweetness and umami, and you can enjoy the change in flavor so that you can enjoy the fruity aftertaste like an orange for several tens of seconds. The origin of "Saido" is inspired by the Sunset Road in Hirado City, where the brewery is located. I would like to drink it at sunset in autumn when the heat has eased off, while feeling the fragrance of a golden osmanthus and enjoying the twilight.
