Before it got really hot, I went to a liquor store for the first time and asked for something refreshing. I opened a bottle of Narumi, which was recommended to me when I requested it!
Thanks to my careful opening of the bottle, I managed to keep it from spilling out, but just as I turned the screw cap all the way down and was about to pour it out, it was delayed and all at once gas gushed out.
I quickly tightened the cap and let it settle down, but it was a waste of time. I was warned to be careful when opening the bottle.
The label description said it had a refreshing sourness like squeezed grapefruit, so I was surprised when the lactic acid aroma was the first thing I noticed after pouring!
There was a slight yogurtiness, but then a grapefruit-like sourness, a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, and a lingering gas. Very interesting and easy to drink!
I didn't have much of an appetite, so I had mozzarella, prosciutto, tomatoes, and onions marinated and drank a bottle with them...
I don't know why I drink even if I don't have an appetite!
The aroma is round and has a good hint of sake yeast.
Yogurt flavor and lemon acidity.
It is slightly fruity like pineapple.
Transparent mouthfeel.
Slightly tangy feeling.
A delicious drink.

It is said to be second fermentation in the bottle, but maybe it is a problem with the way it is stored in the store? Perhaps it is a problem with the way it was stored at the store, but the gasiness is weak.
Slightly sweet, perhaps from the 5% Omachi? It is a little sweet and has a robust profile, perhaps due to the 5% Oumachi.
It seems to be well received by beginners 👌👌
After work, we went to our usual izakaya that stocks sake from the Higashinada brewery in Katsuura👍.
It is fizzy and refreshing.
I've had it many times and it's good 😋.
I am weak in direct pumping. Very weak. I am as weak as Lupin who was begged by Fujiko Mine.
So, when I find a bottle of Naokumi at a liquor store, I buy it without any restraint.
That is why I bought "Narumi" this time. For some reason, I read it as "Naruka. It's "Narumi," isn't it?
It smells like a lactic acid bacteria drink. When you put it in your mouth, it is sour!
The balance is completely skewed to the sour side. I thought the brewing process had failed, but after about three sips, I gradually got used to it (but that didn't mean I liked it).
Maybe they didn't have the confidence to compete with the normal taste, or maybe they had a policy or grandma's will not to dare to make it with the normal taste.
Naturally, I think it was the latter, but it seems to me that he simply "didn't want" to make it with an ordinary taste. This is reflected in the reading of the brand name, "Naraka.
