soumacho
Sake given to me by my boss from Yamaguchi as a souvenir from back home 🍶.
Rice polishing ratio 40
Alcohol content 17%.
75% Nishitoshizuku, 25% Yamadanishiki
Saito no Shizuku is Yamaguchi's sake brewing rice.
It is crossed with Yamadanishiki on the paternal side.
This is a non-junmai, al-soaked daiginjo.
The aroma is a sweet ginjo aroma.
In the mouth it has a sweet and rice flavor that is not too assertive, maybe a little light 🤔.
From there, bitterness and alu-ness join in, and it finishes with a refreshing acidity.
The entrée was grilled Renkotai sea bream with small sardine tempura and pork wrapped in soybean sprouts 😙.
It was an easy sake to pair with food as it was not too assertive and did not interfere with the meal😃.
Iwakuni city has five bridges, ganjiki, and golden-crowned black pine trees. Each of them use water from the Nishiki River system, which again amazed me with how good the water is 😲.
