Artist's commentary
がんばれ小傘さん 3874
自分の日頃の行いを小傘さんに投影して描いてみようという日記漫画です。
精米歩合は数字が小さくなるほど削りまくってお米の粒が小さくなります。
その分お米がたくさん必要になるので、そりゃ純米大吟醸はお高くなるよなあと思ったりしました。
まあお高くなる理由はそれだけではなさそうですが。
お店に行くと全国各地のものすごい種類のお酒があるので、どれ飲んでいいのかわかんなくなりますね。
同じ銘柄でもいっぱい種類ありますし!(^^;)
Hang in There, Kogasa-san 3874
The smaller the milling ratio, the smaller the rice grains are pared down. Since that requires accordingly more rice, I figured that's what makes Junmai Daiginjō so expensive. Well, that's probably not the only reason it's so pricey.
When I go to a bar, they have an incredible variety of sake from all over the country, so I get get totally lost on which to drink. Even within the same brand, they have so many types! (^^;)
