No. 2 in the Notebook of Japanese sake is about "Maruniboichi.
Japanese sake brand "Maruniboichi": 1 minute explanation
The Japanese sake I bought is Arabashirigenshu Junmaiginjo Fukurotori. Let me explain about it.
- Aabashiri：First obtained sake when the sake is pressed
- Genshu：Undiluted sake
- Junmaiginjo：The ingredients are only water and rice polished by over 40%
- Muroka：Unfiltrated sake
- Fukurotori：Colleting sake by bag-hanging
The rice is 100% Gohyakumangoku, which is major renowned shuzo-kotekimai varieties. It grows best in the hokuriku region such as Niigata, Fukui, Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures.
Point
After fermentation, squeeze moromi to separate sake and sake lees. at the beginning of squeezing, we call "Arabashiri", the middle is "Nakagumi (Nakadori)", and the last is "Seme". Arabashiri has a lot of amino acid so that taste tends to be strong.

This is the sake I bought. Because it is Namasake, it kept in cold.
Namazake is the sake without pasteurization. Sake yeast is alive, proceeding to Alcohol fermentation.

The aroma is fruity, like muscat grape. The taste is acid and bitter like grapefruit. It is up to you, but I like it.
It is sharp and has a little bit umami. Defferent from Furosen, it is better to drink Maruniboichi with meal.
How about warm one...

IT was warmed up to 45 degree.
The aroma is like steamed rice. The bitter taste is gone and acidity attack became strong.As if wave crashes against coast, the taste is strong.

Japanese brand: Maruniboichi [Evaluation]
It is wild tasted because of Arabashiri. However, the rice is gohyakumangoku, basically sharp so that it is not too wild.
It is not uncontrolable taste. It is characteristic.
If you find it, try it!!
