The third nigori sake of the season is a nigori sake from Kiyomizu, which I buy every year.
This is my favorite brand, which is firmly separated as a local brand, while also showing the vestiges of the Machida series👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is like melon and pear.
The mouthfeel is cool and refreshing, with a dry and smooth flavor, led by a gaseous and dry astringent taste.
It has a full, rice-like umami taste, and the balance between punch and clarity is exquisite!
When the lees are mixed in, the rice-like flavor increases even more, making it an excellent wine to drink. It is rice with some flamboyance! Rice! Rice! It's a delicious taste ✨.
Reminiscent of a rice cider I had in Niigata before, with a slight sweetness, coolness, and umami.
It is a bottle full of power as it has a strength of 18%!
