2009BY was served warm. The color was a light yellow.
It has a clear, mellow flavor and is crisp and clean with the acidity of Yamahai. There is a slight burnt sensation due to the long aging, but it is moderate compared to the age of the bottle.
This is the first time I have tasted Suginishiki that has been aged this long, but it has a strong acidity and a strong Suginishiki character.
Purchase of a Sake Brewery
This is the third bottle of Shizuoka sake.
There were many brands with "Nishiki" in the name, so I continued to drink them.
When I asked for a sweet sake, I was told that Shizuoka sake is dry, and this was recommended among them.
He recommended this one, which he said was made by an accidental addition of yeast from the brewery and aged to taste like white wine.
When I tried it, I found that it really tasted like a white wine with its acidity and sweetness.
I would love to drink it again, but since it was created by accident, I doubt I will ever be able to drink it again.
Suginishiki, of which Tempo 13 was extremely favorable. Another spec close to it according to the liquor store's recommendation.
It is slightly yellow. Slightly alcoholic aroma.
Room temperature. Slightly syrupy and mineral when it is drunk. Then the umami comes out along with a distinctive sweetness, and it slowly pulls up with a sour center. There is little bitterness.
Although it is a super dry sake with a sake meter of +13, it seems rather sweet at room temperature.
The minerality is moderate and pleasant.
At 40°C (104°F), it is also good. It is also good. At 45℃, it is even more sharp, but it also has a slightly bitter taste. It is more beautiful than at room temperature. Warmed for its sharpness.
Tamakae is a heavy sake rice, but it is rather light, perhaps because it has been aged for only a few years.
In any case, the aging technique is top-notch. Combined with the super-cosmetics, this is a new favorite brand without question. It goes well with everything from light to rich food, and surprisingly goes well with salad.
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.
