Taste the hierarchy of sweetness, taste it.
Today's story of the quadrennial.
It was a strange cup of tea.
It was delicious, but with my limited vocabulary, it was a difficult cup to describe,
Not too sweet, not too pungent, not too alcoholic, but not halfway there.
What can I say, it is delicious, and this is the end of today's drink.
I recently visited Nakano City in Hokushin and purchased a bottle of "One Drop Two Drops" from the Shigaizumi Sake Brewery! Made with Kijimadaira sake rice. Easy to drink, balanced!
I have never had this brand before.
After all, it is an original sake.
I bought it partly because of the name, but I chose it because I had a gut feeling that it was the right one.
It is year-end sake No. 2.
The top aroma is of junmai (pure rice) and a hint of fruity aroma. When you drink it, it is a little sweet and dry, and it finishes quickly. It has a soft mouthfeel with a classical image, but it feels light and easy to drink, not heavy. The aroma is a little fruity. It can be drunk on its own. It is a little dry with a touch of sweetness. It is good with food. It goes well with cured ham. On the third day, the taste settled down and the flavor came out. It goes well with food. It might be a good idea to open the bottle in advance. It has an alcoholic aftertaste. It is similar to a pre-dawn brew?

Sweet apple-like aroma. Soft and sweet with good acidity. Uma.
This is a freshly stored sake in the snow. Stored in the snow for 100 days at a temperature of 0°C and 100% humidity, it is said to become mellow and rounded. It is a popular sake and very tasty.
Purchased at the brewery. The exterior of the brewery looks like a town factory. Sorry for the sudden visit before the Bon Festival (lol).
When I asked for a recommendation, they brought out a bottle from the warehouse that had not been labeled yet. The bottle was a strange bottle, but it was rather rare, and I was grateful for that (laugh).
The Junmai is 1,650 yen, but the Snow Storage is a bit expensive, so how about 1,700 yen?
I was goofing off the whole time. I'm sorry.
Postscript
You don't have a back label.
This is a delicious sake.
The balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami is very good, and the aroma is rich and delicious. Sake made in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture is wonderful.
