My first "Niidashi Zenshu".
It was described as "fruity", but it had a sourness characteristic of sake yeast. I felt a sourness peculiar to sake yeast.
2022BY. 2 to 3 years old sake.
It has a sweet and umami taste with a sense of maturity. It is good heated up to enjoy its crispness, or chilled to enjoy it.
Niida Sake Brewery is an old brewery established 300 years ago in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture. It is known for its Niida Zenshu, which is made with pesticide-free rice and sake yeast.
The name "Melon 3.33" comes from the fact that the rice used in the fourth stage of the four-stage brewing process is 1/3 of the normal amount, making it a little less sweet.
Nigori Melon," served in a Cheerio-like fluorescent green sake bottle, is, as the name suggests, a light nigori sake with an impressive silky throat. The melon-like sweetness is subdued and mild.

It was hard to drink because it had too much punch right after opening, but after a while it settled down as the fermentation progressed and it was delicious!
