Kaoru-shu (sake with a hint of sweetness). The aroma was slightly sweet, and the taste was fruity but also had a robust flavor! The taste is fruity, but with a strong umami flavor! The sharpness of the aftertaste is not my favorite, but I like the fact that it has a depth of flavor rather than a clean sweetness, which suits my taste!
Mellow sake. I was torn between this and Soushu, but I went with Menshu because it is more balanced and easier to drink than Soushu! It is very tasty with a sweetness of rice that is different from the fruity taste!
I think this is my favorite sake from Fukushima!
Smoked sake. It has a gentle and subtle aroma. Mild on the palate but I also felt a slight carbonation and then a crisp strength. Also, a little buttery and rich? It's like something like that.
I love drinking autumn sake while listening to the chirping of bell bugs outside!
Tasted at Young Dawn.
Slightly carbonated and easy to drink with a grapefruit-like freshness! The flavor is light, so it can be drunk in small sips or as a food wine.
Tasted at Young Dawn.
Slightly carbonated. It is refreshing but also mellow.
I was curious about the others and bought a bottle of Hiyayogoshi, so I am looking forward to drinking it!
Tasted at the Young Dawn.
We had an unreleased 2 year old aged sake warmed up and it was very easy to drink and delicious! Just the right amount of gorgeousness and mellowness.
They use rice from the brewery's production area and ship it without blending. The milling ratio is 70%, I believe, and the rice is melted down all the way to the end so the umami can be fully appreciated.
The name of the rice grower is written on the label, and the brewer's passion for the rice was very evident in his passionate talk!
I would love to buy sakekasu (sake lees) if they sell it, and I would like to support them!
Tasted at the Young Dawn. It is low in alcohol (12%) and gently easy to drink. It is the second brand of Fukuji Sake Brewery, and is made for food sake. All were junmai sake, but they were fresh and seemed to go well with fruit and cheese!
