Purchased from Yamanashi Meiken.
The aroma and taste are completely different from the Shichiken I have had in the past. It has a sweetness with a spiciness that is refreshing. It changed my image of Shichiken.
When I asked why this was the only one of the Shichiken series that was not sold out, I was told that Mukaihide was so popular that they brewed more of it.
I happened to pass by Yamanashi Meibrewery and paid a visit.
I was told that tasting was available, so I bought one of the seven kinds of wine I was allowed to try.
It is delicious with a strong sweetness of rice. The water is also tasty because of its location in Yamanashi Prefecture.
I bought it because the square bottle was cute. It seems they use Kumamoto yeast. This is my first time to drink Kumamoto sake.
It is sweet and mellow, with a strong umami flavor, and the alcohol seems to drain out at the end. I like sake with a sense of rice, and this one is delicious even though it doesn't have much of a rice flavor. I heard that the recommended way to drink it is cold sake, and it becomes more refreshing and mellow when chilled. Delicious!
The rice used is Aiyama.
Slightly fruity and sweet, with a touch of bitterness? A bitterness or a bitterness? It seems to go well with Japanese food. It seems to go well with Japanese food.
Ugh, yum~~~ Nabeshima indeed.
Is this what Nabeshima is all about?
The sweetness and umami are in harmony. There is also a lingering aroma like flowers.
