Brewed by Yuri Inoue, the 7th president of Inoue Sake Brewery and toji, Yuri Inoue brews Yuri Brewing.
The ingredients are rice and rice malt.
The rice is milled to only 70%, giving this nigori sake a makgeolli-like flavor with a wonderful balance of rice sweetness and mild acidity. Truly delicious!
(Rice used: Yamadanishiki/ Polishing ratio: 70%/ Yeast: Kyokai No. 9/ Sake degree: -25/ Acidity: 2.5/ Alcohol degree: 14 degrees)
We tasted it at Nakamura Sake Shop, a famous local sake brewery in Togashira, Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
My personal order of umami was Miyamanishiki, Sanke Nishiki, and Kinmon Nishiki.
Miyamanishiki is sharp while retaining its umami.
Kinmon-nishiki has a sweetness like ripe fruit with a hint of thickening.
Sankei-nishiki is the best in between.
It was hard to choose one over the other, but I bought the Miyamanishiki because it was served at an ambient temperature of 37° and I could feel a refreshing sensation.
