Preference 55
Color Creamy white
Aroma: The aroma from the glass is weak. After taking a sip, it has a sweet sake-like aroma when it passes through the nose.
Taste: Thick and dry. It has the sweetness of rice, but the spiciness is stronger.
Overall impression: It is ricey. I crunched it without swallowing it.
Compared to the same Shirakawa-go Nigori, this blue label is more refreshing and shwashy. It also has a sour taste, like a yogurt liqueur. If you are not careful, you will end up drinking too much at once.
I wonder how such sweetness and flavor can be obtained from rice alone.
Once again, sake is a very deep drink.
A very viscous sake. The viscosity is the best I've ever had. It is thicker than drinking yogurt. The taste is classified as sweet, and the mashiness of the sake reminds me of amazake, so I imagined it would be sweet like amazake. However, it was clearly different from amazake with its strong rice flavor and firm acidity. It was a proper sake. I enjoyed it with some nukazuke (pickles).
The website of the brewery says "Sake may be muddy, but our thoughts are not muddy at all".
