It is my favorite drink that I can buy at my local supermarket!
Today is the anniversary of my father's death, a full 10 years ago today.
This Gorohachi is not a rare sake, but one time my father got it from an acquaintance and we both have fond memories of getting into it a bit.
We used to buy it every winter back then.
It's still as sweet and delicious as ever!
But 21 degrees! Dangerous liquor (laughs)!
Or rather, a liqueur!
Anyway, I like it, so it's ok.
The label has changed...
Miuraumi, please excuse my comment.
The first photo, could it be your father's watch and the cup for him?
It has been 10 years since my father passed away this year.
I like the memory drink 😊.
Dedication 🍶.
Maru, nice to meet you!
Yes, it is! The watch in the picture is my father's favorite watch.
I drink good sake and let it soak into my body, which also has my father's blood running through it!
I hope you will too, Maru-san!
Kikusui Nigori Sake
Made with Niigata rice
High alcohol content: 21%.
The supernatant is thickened, but the alcohol content is also strong.
When mixed, it became even thicker and sweeter.
I can't do it straight. The sweetness is coming out of the graph 😂.
What's that? If it's a sweet liqueur, wouldn't it taste better with milk? Throw in some milk (sorry). Yum! I'll tell Kikusui right away! And when I looked at the website, it recommended drinking it with milk 😂and it also recommended drinking it with carbonated water, so I tried it with strong carbonation, and it was the best 🩷 sparkling nigori! God! It's too sweet to drink! I'm sorry I thought 🙇♀️ this is the kind of thing you can enjoy by splitting it!
It was sold exclusively at Ecute.
I heard that it is usually sold in Niigata.
It is very sweet for its alcohol content, and the price and taste are perfect for everyday drinking.
I received this gift when I went back to my parents' house, lol.
They seemed to have decided that there were several bottles and they couldn't drink them all.
21 degrees alcohol!
It's a bit bitter, but the taste is gentle!
I'm not supposed to be so good at nigori sake, but this is delicious...
I would like to drink it with garlic or something with a strong flavor!
Thick and mellow grains! Full-bodied and would go well with hot pot! The alcohol content is as high as 21 degrees! Gently sweet and tasty, with a refreshing alcohol taste. A dangerous sake that goes on and on with food!
*It is classified as a liqueur.
Nigori sake, a genre I don't drink much!
I had an image of nigori sake as being easy to drink (influenced by Sanuki Kuraudeji?), but that was not the case! But it was not so!
I think this one has a strong sake taste.
The texture is smooth on the tongue, but the sake flavor spreads out in the middle.
I personally felt it was sake.
Slightly clear, cloudy white color, slightly viscous (alc21).
Aroma with a hint of sweetness.
Rich sweetness from the torrid attack, refreshing acidity, and moderate bitterness. The aftertaste is dry and lingers as it is. In spite of its high alcohol content, it is easy to drink, and in a sense, scary.
