Sake made by a group of breweries in Miyagi Prefecture
This is not the strong fruity sweetness of today's sake, but rather a subtle fruity sweetness, acidity, and dryness on the nose, which is typical of Miyagi Prefecture's sake!
I think this kind of effort that transcends the boundaries of sake breweries is wonderful!
I look forward to more in the future!

10 year old sake
At room temperature, the sweetness and umami of the rice is not so apparent....
However, when heated, the sweetness of the rice and the flavor that had been dormant were awakened by the warming!
Compared to the regular Koei Kiku, this sake had a natural effervescence unique to unfiltered nama sake, and the unique acidity was suppressed, making the sweetness stand out in this cup!
Last year, I couldn't drink it because I missed the timing...
This year, thanks to the fact that I was always watching for its release, I was able to purchase it!
This year's Snowball has less sweetness than in previous years, and instead, it has a tangy bitterness.
