Chikuma-Nishiki is the first Chikuma-Nishiki pure sake in a long time. It was a happy miscalculation to be able to get it again, as it was only available in limited quantities.
Again, I enjoyed the rich and robust flavor.
It has sweetness, acidity, and a slight bitterness.
It was also somewhat spicy.
Delicious!
Yesterday's Otomo🍶.
I bought a bottle 🤭 because of the cute packaging.
I had it with oden and pork shabu-shabu.
Oden goes well with dry sake 🥰 It's been a while since I had a dry sake.

A great drink for kitchen drinkers, with a balance of sweetness and richness that provides just the right amount of intoxication, yet does not interfere with the cooking process.
I wanted to drink a little, so I bought a small bottle.
Then, a small bottle of nigori sake.
It was so good!
I summarized my comment in the style of a small bottle.
I tasted it at Nozawa Onsen Nagano Ya and found it very interesting, so I bought it.
The banana-like aroma, sweetness of rice (Miyamanishiki from Nagano Prefecture) and coarse creamy texture came first, followed by a firm acidity. It has a color and a drinkable yogurt feeling. It is addictive.
The fluffy white color is like snow. The texture is thick and heavy on the tongue. The richness of rice and amazake-like flavor remain pleasantly in the mouth even after passing down the throat.
Gold and silver snowflakes are dancing on the label and piling up on the camellia. Winter will soon begin to leave. It was the perfect time to open this new nigori sake.
I bought a Chikuma-Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo yesterday at Aeon Liquor for about 1000 yen. It seems to be made entirely from Yamadanishiki. The alcohol content is 14 degrees.
I opened the bottle, poured it into a glass, and smelled the aroma, but there was not much. It tastes sweet.
When I warmed it up to lukewarm, there was not much aroma, but it tasted better than cold.
It's good for warming up.
Purchased from Coop catalog.
Silky mouthfeel. A little fruity, but drier than I expected and a little too much for me personally... 😥.
My mother, who loves nigori sake, also said she doesn't like it, so it doesn't look like it will decrease at all 😭
I guess it was worth the price since it was less than 1000 yen 🤔.
Hatsushibori, or new sake.
It has a slightly mellow aroma, with a slight bitterness that starts to develop halfway through. It is on the heavy side. I paired it with motsu nabe (a hot pot of vegetables), but it was refreshing and drained off the fat.
