Saki
This is a gift that was sleeping in the refrigerator. I really wanted to drink it at New Year's, but I couldn't because I finished Ottersai and my short New Year's vacation was over.
Because I left it for a long time, I thought it was moldy. I was so nervous. The aroma was like normal alcohol. But when you take a sip, it smells and tastes like pear juice. It reminds me of the feeling when I received a cardboard box full of pears from the country. A nostalgic taste.
It's lightly nigori, but I've had the experience of leaving nigori sake at room temperature in the past and having the lid blow off, so I put it back in the fridge right away.
This sake is from Hirakata in Osaka. The name is taken from "Kurawanka Fune," a boat that plied the river between Kyoto Fushimi and Osaka. It is brewed with Hirakata farmer's proud rice (Hinohikari).
