There are few dry sake from Kagawa, but this brand is considered to be somewhat dry. When enjoying local seafood in a relaxed atmosphere, Kaijin is my first choice.
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 16%.
A two-dimensional code for traceability is printed on the stylishly shaped lid (Photo 4).
The second sake from Fukui Prefecture! This one is also strong, full, and delicious. I would like to try the other sake in the Kuroryu series, but I have not been able to find them at my local liquor store.
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice: 100% Sake Mirai, Polishing ratio: 53
Sake Mirai" is a rice bred by Tatsuro Takagi, the 14th generation brewer of Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture, who succeeded in breeding this rice over a period of 18 years.
Its representative sake is "Jyushidai"!
This is Yamagata Prefecture's sake rice with Miyamanishiki for the father lineage and Yamashu No. 4 for the mother lineage.
At first, the rice was used together with "Kamenoi Shuzo," but eventually more and more young breweries around the country started using it.
Sake Mirai's small heart white allows for a higher milling ratio, making it suitable for Junmai Daiginjo and other sake brewing methods.
Sake made with Sake Mirai is said to be characterized by its rich and gorgeous flavor.
I had never really thought of Sake Mirai as a sake, but I could certainly sense its characteristics.
Alcohol content: 16%.
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio: 45
We chose this sake because it is a spring sake.
It is a very strong sake with a rich flavor due to its high alcohol content.
I️ was taking a picture of the empty bottle to upload here and noticed the back of the label.
The back of the label advertises Spring Sushi and Chakkari Hidakami❗️.
I was enjoying looking at the cherry blossom patterned label on the front, so I didn't notice it at all. Looking forward to seeing what tricks they have up their sleeves next time I buy some 👀.
This sake is characterized by its deep and rich aroma, which is created through the use of a traditional yeast mash.
We recommend tasting it at various temperatures, from room temperature (around 20°C) to lukewarm (around 40°C).
Alcohol content: 17% or more, but less than 18%.
Rice polishing ratio: 65%.
This is a freshly pressed, lightly cloudy, unpasteurized sake that has been slowly and carefully squeezed using a bag suspension method. It has a soft and gentle taste despite the high alcohol content. The taste is a bit bland and vague.
100% new Yamada Nishiki rice, alcohol content: 16%.
Rice polishing ratio: 60%, Rice malt (domestic rice)
It has a nice aroma and a firm fullness that goes down the throat, although it is not as floral and fruity as the latest fad.
For a sake from Kagawa, it is clear and full-bodied, with a deep aftertaste similar to that of my favorite sake from Tohoku.
Moreover, for those who are familiar with the lively white fish and small fish of the Seto Inland Sea, it reminds them of the taste of the sweet and elastic sashimi and the fluffy grilled fish that bounces off the grill.
It has a high alcohol content of 16 degrees.
Unfiltered, unpasteurized sake with a good sense of gas, flavor and acidity in harmony.
