The last sake I will drink in 2024 will be my first Katsikoma Junmai Daiginjo.
It is brewed only during this season!
Although the rice flavor was less pronounced than that of junmai sake, it was very clean and very easy to drink.
As a Katsucoma fan, I was very satisfied on New Year's Eve.
Once-a-year seasonal sake
This Junmai Daiginjo is made from Akita Sakekomachi polished to 35%.
It is a sake with a beautiful flavor with a moderate fruity aroma and a refreshing sweetness.
I visited the brewery festival of Watanabe Sake Brewery in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture.
This brewery brews Hourai, which is shipped under the brand name W (double) to distributors nationwide, so I am sure many of you have had the chance to drink it.
We tasted five different kinds of sake and purchased a Junmai Daiginjo-shu and a Ginjo-shu Fukuro-hozuri Shibori from among them.
They are slightly different in taste, but both are delicious sake with a delicious rice flavor.
I am not sure which one to open first.
It is freshly pressed, juicy, and sweet, and is recommended for sake beginners.
It is a four-season brewery, so it is always new sake, but it is one of the freshest, juiciest, and most well-balanced sake with a very good acidity.
