JUNMAI GINJO FUKUJU

This Junmai Ginjo Fukuju, is one of the most famous Sake in Japan, because that it was served at the dinner party of Novel Prize for many times. And, my friend gave this Fukuju to me.

One month ago, I have asked her about Sake as she was particular about Sake too much.  Since I am going to take the foreign guests to sake brewery, but my knowledge about sake is very poor.  So, she sent it to me with the message, “please taste this sake for preparing your work, you can understand the change of the taste after opening the bottle”

 

Yes, I was very pleased at her consideration, but felt sorry that I could not drink it because that I have caught herpes zoster last week. Every night I am worried about a rash in my side, and have anti-itch medicine to oppose the itch in a couple of days.

 

When can I drink it not worrying about my health?

 

Before that, I should study about Sake by myself. To tell the truth, the system of Sake production is very complicated, I can’t understand it by Japanese, so I am unable to explain it by English. Why can rice and water became sake with the help of koji mold ind yeast? It is beyond my understanding, if I were good at science–related subjects, my life would be 100% different from what I am.

 

So, this theme will be continued tomorrow.
