Shinanonishiki Active Nigori Restoration House (Ijaya)
Apparently the name of a producer who grows low-pesticide Miyamanishiki
Fresh, sweet and sour aroma
Pear, grape, lychee, chardonnay-like
Soft and sweet on the palate with acidity, bitterness and amino acids.
Silky on the tongue
As the day goes on, the sweetness of the wine increases
to a thick, creamy, gutsy nigorigo.
-The umami comes first, the nourishment comes later. Not bad. This is not normal. The savory flavor continues. But with time and food (saltiness), the taste is always enhanced. Some people may not like this sake when drunk alone. But if you drink it with food, you will definitely enjoy it. I would buy it again if I find it in a store.
A very dry, raw sake!
Just as it should be. When you drink it, it has umami and smoothness, and as you drink more and more, the spiciness and nourishment come on top. When you add saltiness, the umami flavor comes through and it becomes more vibrant. I would like to try it with a variety of meals.
16.5 degrees!
I thought it was hard on the street.
At first sight, I thought, eh. It is Shinano Nishiki, right?
As the temperature rises, the balance of the sake is perfect.
It is easy to drink at this sake level.
Pork belly and salad with a little yuzu pepper dressing are both good!

Shinanonishiki hiyaoroshi.
I drank it for the first time, but it is said to be very dry with a sake degree of +10.
I have an image that there are not many hiyaoroshi with a very dry taste.
I wonder if there are actually quite a few.
Even though it was dry, it had the umami of rice and a full flavor.
It has a nice sharpness, so it is easy to match with a meal.
Strong! This sake gives the impression of being "strong". The alcohol may be a little tart when freshly poured? A savory aroma? It has a strong bitterness, astringency, and umami taste, which is probably to the liking of connoisseurs.
It is unique when paired with mildly salty snacks! It is a snack that I usually don't order, but I thought it was a connection with this sake.
The mouthfeel is full-bodied.
It has a plump, full-bodied flavor and acidity, with a hint of bitterness and astringency.
The sweetness is slightly subdued and soft.
The spiciness comes from the 19% alcohol content.
I found out later that it is recommended to be paired with meat dishes.
Well, it is indeed a red wine.
I would like to try it with red meat that is full of juices.
Degree of preference ☆3/5
Shinano Nishiki!
How smooth. I didn't realize this was sake made from brown rice.
Amazing, the richness. The prune-like flavor comes out as it warms up.
Hot sake? No, no, no, just as it is!
I'll try it just in case.
