The moment you put it in your mouth, the amino sensation (which is also simple) spreads all at once. It has a mouthfeel like dashi, but makes its presence felt through the throat.
Chichibu-Nishiki Special Junmai Nama-shu Shiboritate
18% 60% 1800ml
We went to Yao Honten in Chichibu to buy our favorite Chichibu Nishiki.
It has a thicker texture, and the bitterness from the lactic acidity is like grapefruit. It has a punch and a strong flavor. It has a sweetness, but also has a man's sake feel to it.
The boss of the Kinsho-kai told me that Chichibu-nishiki is a traditional sake, and that it might not be tasty. He praised me for changing his image of Chichibu-Nishiki.
I heard that they have started making a new sake called "Wolf Flame" for distributors, but I wonder how it is. I guess it is a trendy sake, but I am curious about it.

Thank you Jay & Nobby! It is true that Tochigi, of course, is not the only place in Japan that handles this product. Please come to Chichibu! The Yao Honten store has a great selection of souvenirs!

It is juicy with a different taste from the recently released Wolf Flame.
The aroma is cute and sweet with a hint of springtime sweetness and acidity.
When you drink it, a round, fresh sweetness spreads at once, followed by a slightly thick but refreshing acidity.
The sweetness increases in thickness and the acidity suppresses it, giving it a fresh and delicious flavor.
The sharpness of the taste is sweet, but it is relatively well balanced with the sweetness of spring and the freshness of the taste.
Personally, I think strawberries, cream cheese, cured ham, strawberries or a little lemon and balsamic sauce would go well with this wine.
Both were delicious.
