The mouthfeel is more dry and astringent with a hint of sweetness. The lingering taste has a hint of sweetness. It is full-bodied, with a nutty finish.
At a standing bar in Shinbashi.
It's been a very long time since I've had Yonekaku.
Aroma is sweet with just the right amount of alcohol.
It is a bit dry and refreshing.
I like that it is not flirtatious.
The dryness of Yonetsuru and the slight sweetness of Origara are exquisite.
It is an image of spring, when the weather is still cold.
Nigori Ekiden, Section 8
At the beginning of last year, I visited a store for the first time, and a customer asked me "Do you have Kappa's nigori draft? I remember a customer raving about the third bottle this year, and when I visited at the end of the year, this year's version had just arrived!
I remember a customer raving about it, and when I visited the store at the end of the year, I found that this year's version had just arrived! I really like it," said the proprietress, and expectations were high. After all, this is my first Yonetsuru!
I tried it cold in a tin, cold in a wine glass, and lukewarm in an oinokuchi.
The tin was refreshingly cold, with a spiciness but soft on the palate. But the umami flavor is still there and somewhat fruity. It is a Sawaya-Matsumoto type of sake, too good as a food sake!
In a glass of wine - chilled, it has a faint melon-like standing aroma. The aroma is not very strong to begin with, so you can enjoy it as a subtle accent.
Inokuchi - Lukewarm sake has a slightly alcoholic taste. This one has a melon-like aroma.
There is no nigori on the label, but everyone calls it nigori, which is fine, right? ...It was an impressive gem that could be called new in the section!
Yonezuru's...Erekimo?
It seems to be "Erekimo" which stands for "Elegant Kimotozukuri"...what a twisted name!
I can only hope for something like this!
The taste... I see...
The first impact comes from the acidity, and from there it goes down smoothly with a light alty feeling.
It's good as a food sake... I prefer it when it's well chilled because the aftertaste gets stronger as the temperature rises.

The amount of duck sukiyaki is so large that it won't go down 😭
