I like a sake that tastes more than just sweet. Tonight, I found Nabeshima's Nama-zake! If you see it, there is no way not to buy it. Of all the brands that are known to be tasty and rare on the market, Nabeshima comes in second after Tasake in my personal preference for easy to buy. Its draft sake is precious, and you have to buy it while it is available. So chilled is the Ihyakumangoku nama-shu! How to describe it, since the sake rice is relatively light? Let's get to it!
The aroma is sharp and fresh rather than gentle, and the sharp, hard mouthfeel is harmonized with juicy sweetness like orange, sourness like grapefruit, and bitterness. The sharp, hard mouthfeel is balanced with juicy orange-like sweetness, grapefruit-like acidity, and bitterness, but not too much. While enjoying the elegant umami produced in this way, Ihyakumangoku is my personal favorite sake, with a refreshingly bitter finish that is unique to Ihyakumangoku! I love the taste of Tazake and Nabeshima, which are different from the current "raw yeast, sweet and tasty spodori" type of sake! I love Nabeshima! Thanks again for the sake tonight!
A refreshingly dry sake, slightly acidic, watery, thin, not too tasty, not too tiring to keep drinking, very slightly fruity, more dressed up than usual Nabeshima, clear and clear sake, slightly small. White floral herb

I really liked the taste!
I haven't had last year's so I can't compare, but I think it might be my favorite of the Nabeshima series 😋.
