Juicy aroma with melon, pineapple and fruitiness.
It also has a hint of "sake yeast".
Surprisingly, it has a mineral texture.
The sweetness is subdued with juicy acidity.
The sweetness and umami taste comes later, followed by a light bitterness that spreads to the back of the tongue.
There is almost no aroma in the mouth.
It is suitable for a mid-meal drink.
As the temperature rises, the body of the rice can be felt a little.
Taste level ☆ 3.5/5
Crisp acidity and mellow umami
Mellow aroma of grain, the freshness provided by instant press to bottle creates a zippy effervescence, a light and sharp palate with strong minerality and a touch of umami, finishing clean and dry.
Paired it with Bolo Bao with bbq pork
Served chilled
To be honest, I'd have to buy the label - it was sold as a set to go with potato chips, but the chips weren't very good, and it wasn't a good pairing. I like Shishio, so I have no regrets.
Niigata is a sake brewery in Nagaoka!
I used to go to Nagaoka for some reason, but somehow I missed it 😭
It tasted a little sweet and was a good time 👍.
Oh, I would have definitely gone to the brewery if I had known 😭.
