I heard that my favorite liquor store had just received a new shipment of mizu-hashiro sake, so I bought some 🍶Kinzumi is a brand I've never had before, but I see that they are the brewery that makes Okura.
The supernatant has a unique syrupy sweetness that is exactly what you would expect from a mizu-hashiroshi sake. The sweetness is so strong that the umami of the rice is not so pronounced.
The second half of the bottle is like muddy sake, with the rice remaining as it is, and it is as thick as yogurt. At this point, the taste is more like eating sweetened fermented rice than sake.
From halfway through the bottle, it was more like "eating" than "drinking" as the label stated 🌾In fact, I drank it while chewing 😂I was so full! ...
This is a muddy sake, which is good, but I wanted to drink a purely mizu-hashimoto sake from Kinzumi 😄.
It is slightly carbonated, but it does not interfere with the sake flavor, nor does it fill the palate with a full load of freshness. It is a sake that quickly approaches the bottom.
I was wondering if I should post this as it was given to me at a tasting, but as a record.
Not knowing the date the bottle was opened, it is difficult to judge, but the characteristics are a texture that you can feel the core of the rice, dryness, and an acidity that is assertive throughout.
It said it was mizu-hashiroshi brewed, but I wonder if this acidity is a feature.
The best thing was that I met a sake with a strong impact and that the proprietress remembered my name ✌️.
I'm late to the party, but I'll be there❣️.
This is a lightly nigorized version of another brand of Nara Kashiba's famous sake "Okura", Kinko❗️.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
I love the sizzling, crisp, refreshing taste of the active nigori 😆.
I like both Okura and Kintsugi because they have their own unique 🥰
I'd like to enjoy it again soon ( ˊ̱˂˂ˋ̱ )
