Takizawa Activated Junmai Nigori Nama
Mouthfeel:Slightly thick
Aroma: Almost none
Umami: Medium
Sourness: Moderate
I was worried because the information copy was fluffy and sounded like it was just to cheer people up... and it was! I was worried because it was so soft and fluffy... and it was rather true. It was rather right... It was not so unique for being nigori...
Takizawa Tokubetsu Junmai (warmed)
Mouthfeel: light
Aroma: Subdued
Taste: Spicy
Acidity: Strong
This was recommended to us because we wanted a heated sake with a sweet rice flavor, but not too sticky.
The main flavor is a rich sweetness from the rice, but the crisp acidity in the aftertaste is not unpleasant. It is good for everyday drinking.
That's interesting!
It was wrapped in newspaper.
There was an article titled "Former U.S. President Carter turns 100."
It makes me more knowledgeable about current events (laughs).
The sake was crisp and refreshing.
The aftertaste settles into a slightly dry impression, though,
Fresh, smooth, and full-bodied active junmai nigori sake.
It is reasonably priced and delicious.
Recipe by Katsuyo Kobayashi,
Fried chicken wings as the main dish.
Katsuyo Kobayashi is famous for her meat and potatoes,
This fried chicken wing is made with milk and lemon,
The recipe is different in that the seasoning is milk and lemon juice, but the sweet potato is also fried in the pan first, which makes it a good addition to the chicken.
That's what I'm talking about 😊.
Today's sake is an unfiltered raw Junmai Daiginjo from Takizawa in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture❗️❗️
The aroma is sweet with a hint of ginjo❗️As you take a sip, you can feel the raw tingling sensation❗️Followed by a fruity taste and aroma that leaves your nose❗️Great Sake❤️
The brewery is famous for Ding, which is not available in the Kansai region.
I was at a Nagano sake event and Nemuchi said it was her favorite at Takizawa, so I bought some.
They had everything from Junmai to Jun Dai 😊.
It's gorgeous and has a honey-like sweetness, but a little powdery? It's sweet but has a unique sweetness to it.
It's sweet, but there is something unique about the sweetness.
The aroma on the nose is quite fruity.
I think I would like this if I had a fresh sake.

Another difficult one, made with super soft black daylight water.
It's a bit like a strong, matured sake.
It's classified as dry, but I don't think it's quite right.
I like it, but I guess there are different tastes, but it has a delicious umami that disappears nicely with a rather lingering aftertaste.
Slightly fruity and refreshing on the palate.
It is easy to drink with a strong umami taste afterwards.
I used to enjoy drinking Ding from the same brewery.
Takizawa is also very tasty!
I bought this sake at a liquor store in town during a trip to Nagano. It is a sake with the unique flavor of junmai sake and a touch of sweetness. It goes well with fatty dishes.
