＜With cold sake, it has a lightness typical of Niigata.
This is the 16th bottle in the "Kuraberu" series of 1-gallon bottles.
First, I tasted it at room temperature.
The aroma is moderate sweet and sour alcohol. It has a grain sweetness and lactic acidity, and is not fruity. This is also a retro style.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft sourness and sweetness at first. But in the next moment, the flavor and bitterness of the grains come out. It is more powerful than I expected.
After swallowing it, a bitter aftertaste remains. And it will disappear slowly.
This seems to be more delicious when chilled. Let's chill it.
The fragrance is gone. You can only feel a slight freshness.
The mouthfeel is lightly sweet and sour. The umami (sweet and sour) flavor spreads out from there, but it quickly recedes and breaks off nicely. Yes, it is light and dry. It has become clean. There is still a slight graininess, but it's hardly noticeable. I think cold sake is the right choice.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Yuki-chan from "The Cat Returns". It is a white cat. It is slightly sweet and beautiful. The word "Danrei" suits her well.
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆☆
I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images. If you'd like, you can search for "Korunezake" or come from the link in the profile section.
