First Suginishiki nigori, 2019BY, served warm.
The mouthfeel is creamy and soft like nigori, with a soft graininess, but the finish is crisp, as is typical of Suganishiki. I'm tempted to try it paired with the mapo tofu on the back label.
Darker white color than expected. I expected it to be sweet and sour, but the acidity was more pronounced. I thought it might be good heated, so I warmed it up and found it to be good. It is not a cold sake, so I don't think it needs to be cooled. I recommend this nigori sake to be heated.
1650 including tax
The degree of rice polishing is a secret.
Brewed in 2021.
Raised with care. Initial impressions are of depth, but the flavor seems to have a long way to go. I will enjoy it slowly over many cups.
It is light and easy to drink like water!
It doesn't have much acidity when chilled, but as it gets closer to room temperature, the acidity starts to come out, which is also good.
It has an initial sourness and a bit of bitterness, but the aftertaste is full.
Personally, I thought it would not be my favorite, but when paired with cheese, the sweetness is enhanced and it is nice.
Named after the 6th generation head of Sugii Sake Brewery, Mr. Hironosuke Sugii.
Suginishiki Yamahai Junmai Nigori 1650 yen (4 gos. bottle)
Today, I participated in my sons' takopa (taco party) and gyoza (dumpling party).
As a sake recommender, I appealed to my sons 🤣.
One loves ♥️ and one loves disinfectant 🫣.
The young ones are funny 💕︎
The aroma is cloudy and sweet, the initial attack is sweet and spicy, and for a nigori, it's smooth and refreshing ✨mmm delicious 😋OK as a food sake!
