Next, I've decided to go with Niidashi Zenshuu ✨.
This is the first sake I've ever had ✨
I thought it would be very sour since it's called mizu-hashiroshi 😅...
The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and you can also enjoy the umami of the rice 😊.
It's a good sake 😁.
Bespoke Junmai Sake - Celebration
This sake was included in one of the omakase bottles at Sake no Sakuraya. It is a very sake-like sake and easy to drink.
It seems to be a sake brewery that focuses on rice.
Purchased a golden-colored Niidashi Zenju.
This sake has been laid down in the brewery for about two years. It has a very nice aroma of gorgeous oak. I also felt the caramel and mellowness that only old sake can have. I would like to drink it again, but it is not sold very often.
Despite the cute packaging, the alcohol is strong! LOL!
It looks like a smoothie and I thought it would be cloudy, but personally, it tasted bitter and I had a hard time finishing it lol.
I don't think I will repeat,,
⭐️2.5
The rich mash from the natural sake brewing process is ground using a traditional millstone, resulting in a pure white nigori sake.
It has a lot of leesiness, is mellow and soft, and has a gentle melt in the mouth like light snow.
It has a rich malt aroma, and the aftertaste has a hint of acidity from the sake brewing process. We were also able to strongly express the charm of natural rice.
Rice polishing ratio 85

Nama yeast, no additive yeast (brewer's yeast)
I received a rare bottle of Niida Honke's taru-shu. It had a very strong oak aroma, which made me think that this was the kind of sake that was made in the olden days.
I had the impression that it was a slightly sweet sake with an estery aroma, so the barrel aroma did not suit me personally.
