It has been a long time since I have had Seikagami. It was rich and delicious!
*The following is from SAKETIMES
The latest yeast developed by the Association in 2014.
Sake is now attracting attention from around the world, and exports are increasing rapidly.
On the other hand, a substance called ethyl carbamate, which is found naturally in fermented foods, has been designated by an international organization as a "possibly carcinogenic substance.
Sake also contains a very small amount of this substance.
It is formed when alcohol reacts with urea produced by yeast.
Although the amount of urea contained in sake is not higher than that of other alcohols, if international regulations become stricter in the future, there is a possibility that sake may be shut out of the market in the country where it is produced.
Therefore, JIFA developed "Urea Non-Producing Yeast No. 1901 (KArg1901)" as a yeast that does not produce urea in the brewing process and achieves excellent sake quality, using technology developed at the National Brewers Research Institute of the National Tax Administration Agency (now the Japan Liquor Research Institute) from the high ethyl caproate-producing No. 1801.

Hot and spicy! Very thick!
I prefer it at room temperature (warmed and cooled) 😋 because I don't like the spiciness when it's lukewarm.
I think I may have twisted it a little bit after leaving it under room temperature for about a year after purchase 😢.
Too bad the bottle cap is not very nice.
It didn't fit well and the inside of the lid was a little damaged....
Two types of sake tasting (Rishu)
Harushion
This one has the same characteristic aroma as Yamayuri.
Excellent!
Is Harujion the winner in terms of cosmetics?
The first day of opening the bottle, a glass of chilled sake: Pitchy, a little too sweet 💦.
Third day is a snake's eye: great aroma. Calmed down a bit? Difference in sake cup? Just the right amount of sweetness and a little bitterness (the bitterness gets stuck).
Lukewarm sake: oh wow! The aroma may be a bit harsh, but the taste is wonderful! As expected of hiyaoroshi!
Junmai specs, but is it a normal sake?
Almost no attack, but it is very smooth.
Amino acidity.
Almost no sweetness, but crisp.
Maybe it should be warmed up to lukewarm? A little spiciness is noticeable, but it is fragrant.
Sake rice: 32 varieties of Shiga rice (out of 40 varieties)
Therefore, it is called "Almost Shiga".
From sake brewing rice to rice rice!
The project was created through crowdfunding in 2021. We started with about 20 varieties, and this year we have increased to 32 varieties!
Cold -> Feels a little bit tart? Strong
Normal→Slightly calmer and easier to drink
