Oze snowdrift, peach-colored nigori
The aroma is yogurt-like!
The sweet and sour taste is derived from red yeast! It is somehow lighter and more crisp than usual!
I couldn't buy a bottle this year 😭I'll get another if I see it somewhere!
We received Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjo Peach Color Nigori, a classic spring sake from our hometown of Gunma. It is a spring pink sake made with red yeast. This is the first time I have had it.
It has a perforated stopper, so I chilled it well and opened it carefully. It didn't spurt out, but it was very energetic, leaking gas.
The taste has a sweet and sour strawberry nuance, just as it looks. It has a soft texture and gentle mouthfeel typical of nigori sake.
The alcohol content is low at 10%, so it can be drunk like a dessert.
The standard spring sake in our house is Atago no Matsumatsu Harukoi, but it is definitely more acidic than Harukoi.
We made strawberry and cream cheese cured ham rolls with Yayoi Hime strawberries, also from Gunma Prefecture, and enjoyed them together. The moderately sour Yayoi Hime and the crisp acidity of the sake were just about the same, making a perfect pairing.
Finally, our family has entered the spring sake season in earnest. I bought too many spring sake that I wanted to drink, so I will be drinking at a high pace.
Evaluation: ★★★★★
This is something I've wanted to drink for a long time but haven't been able to get it at the right time.
This is super good! Gutsy and my favorite.
It has a sour sweetness to it, almost like calpis, and for the first time in a long time, it's to my liking.
I also got to see Otani's home run in person today, so I'm happy!

Deep Sake, I always go there on a whim without a reservation, but the counter is full and it's my first time to sit at a table!
It's been a long time since I've been to Oze, and I wonder if I've ever had this pink.
It is a peach-colored nigori sake with a sweet and sour taste, perfect for the cherry blossom season!
In Matsumoto, it was not 🌸 but ❄ during the daytime...
I mean, it was more like dancing... it was raining hard...
Good evening, Gyanban 😊.
Nice to meet you😊
Oze snow looks delicious😍
I'm going on a trip to Matsumoto at the end of the month and I've put deep sake as a candidate 😊 I'm going without a reservation 😅.
I'm worried about ❄️ because I'm going 🚗😆.
Nice to meet you, Ao-chan 😀
I'm not from Matsumoto, so I don't know about the snow situation, but I think it's not a problem because the snow melts quickly in the city during this season.
However, you can't be too careful until about before GW, so please watch the weather forecast and wear studded shoes if possible.
Have a nice trip to Matsumoto!
Mr. Fukazake, there is sake in the prefecture, but please drink a lot of local sake to meet the local people 😊.
The aroma is even more pleasant when chilled, and the sweetness is pleasant without being obnoxious. The twist of the rice polishing ratio is interesting.
Polishing ratio 39%, alcohol 16%.

I had a hard time choosing between this and Amami no Nigorigo, but Peach Impact won. As the label said, I wanted to feel a little spring in these cold days.
The alcohol content was low, and although it might be for women, I enjoyed it.
The label said, "No red yeast rice malt is used. I was surprised to see that it did not use red yeast malt.
This pink-colored nigorizake is only available in spring and is full of bubbles. No coloring agent is used because the color is produced by the power of red yeast. You can enjoy the sweet and sour taste and creamy mouthfeel of nigori. It is a popular springtime sake, with a light alcohol content of 10 degrees, making it easy to drink with food!
