This is the first Gunma sake in two months.
I like Gunma sake very much because they often use Gohyakumangoku.
I have always been curious about Shibukawa no Sei.
Because of this logo printed on the cap.
A tribute to the logo of the legendary hardcore punk Gorilla Biscuits from the late 80's... Right? No one has mentioned it, though. No one has mentioned it. If it's not, it's amazing.
Now it's time to open the bottle! When I put my lever on the cap, the cap came off with a mighty "ku-po! The cap came off with a mighty clank.
When I poured it in, carbon dioxide gas rose up.
The aroma has a freshness that is typical of unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
The taste of the sake itself is like the slight sweetness and acidity of white peaches, but combined with the freshness of the raw sake, a fresh acidity like lychee spreads in the mouth at first.
Then there is a slight sweetness, followed by a spiciness that is typical of Gohyaku and is refreshing.
The sharpness is perfect, but a hint of sweetness lingers in the aftertaste, giving it the refinement of a Jun Daibetsuatsurai.
The sake is polished to 35%, so there is no cloying taste and the quality of the sake is beautiful.
The balance between the excellent sharpness and light sweetness is a taste that can only be achieved by high refining.
The fact that a four-pack of this sake is priced at less than 2,000 yen is awe-inspiring.
It is a perfect match for Tochio fried tofu!
