[First brand I've been able to drink in about 10 years👍] I got a bottle of Kiri-Tsukuba's light nigori nama-zake (unpasteurized sake) from a hometown tax payment. It is a popular brand that is consumed almost exclusively locally, but it appears that there was some new sake left from last year that will be shipped in December 2022. ✌️ Although it has been over a year, it has not lost much of its freshness with a slight effervescence, and on the other hand, it has a moderate calmness that is quite nice 😋. It has a sweetness, but the refreshing alcohol taste and crispness are the result of the aluzochu liqueur. Like last month's Onra, it's nice to be able to get a brand that is hard to find through hometown tax payment 😆.

Tonight, we have Kirizukuba Hatsushushibori Light Nigori from Urasato Shuzoten ✨ This one is popular with Ogawa yeast users. I was attracted by the combination of Ogawa yeast, Gohyakumangoku, and light nigori, so I bought it 😅. Let's start with the supernatant. It has a rich sweet aroma of muskmelon red flesh, which is typical of Ogawa yeast, and the taste is very delicious as if you bit into a whole muskmelon 😋 Also, although this sake is alky, there is no stinginess in the aftertaste at all, and the bitterness and spiciness show up and the balance is excellent 👍. The spiciness of the aftertaste is doubled when the lees are involved, making it a sake with a different expression. It is a fun sake 🤗.

It is a new sake light nigori from Kirizukuba 🍶. The first aroma is slightly sweet. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gasiness. Refreshing acidity and a hint of rice sweetness. Kiri-Tsukuba is a little dry every year, but it is nice and refreshing. I really want to drink it in summer. It was delicious ✨️🍶

First squeeze of Kiri-Tsukuba Although it is alsobe, it is about 300 yen cheaper than Urasato's Usunigori for a four-pack bottle. And Urasato's Usunigori has become quite popular, but you can still buy this one in plenty of time 👛. Cheap is justice, and it's justice that they don't sell out immediately🤣❗️ Uesumi Kaori Muscat. From the mouthfeel, it is sweet like a melon, It has a sweet melon-like taste and a refreshing sharpness with a little bit of alcohol. Uma🤣. It has a little more alcohol in the aftertaste than Urasato 1st, but that's good. ❗️ Mix it up. Aroma is slightly mellow. Nice aroma 🍼. Easy to drink with an added milky feeling 🍼. This is so good 🤣. I haven't had the 2nd Urasato yet, but personally, if I were to buy the 1st Urasato, I would definitely recommend this one considering the balance of price and taste 💪. I just got some yam from my parents' house, so I shredded it and ate it like sashimi, and it goes really well with it 😉 The sharpness makes it easy to pair with food in general, so everyone should try it 😉. The yam was so good I drank a whole bottle 🈳!

Good evening, Manachie 😃. Kirizukuba nigori, it's not as glamorous as Urasato, but it's easy to drink and tasty 😃. I think this is the one you won't get tired of drinking 😊.

Good morning, Manachie 😃. Fog Chikuba more than Urasato! I personally agree with you, although I haven't drunk enough to say ‼️ 😅 sensibly 🧐. Shredded yam is a simple but good appetizer...

Hi Manachie 😃 Personally, I definitely recommend you to buy both Urasato Usunigori and Kiritsukuba Hatsushibori Usunigori and compare them 😁. It would be even better if you have both 1st and 2nd Urasato Usunigori 😆.

This one is purchased by weight! This cedar barrel sake is exclusive to Sato Sake Shop. It has a golden color and a really nice aroma. It seems as if the gassiness of the first pressing we drank earlier has been removed and the aroma has been clothed. There is a melon-like ginjo aroma, and I can sense freshness and freshness. It is also delicious 😋.

Very fresh! Pitchy and gassy! It wears a cider-like flavor. The aftertaste is sharp and refreshing. The base seems to have the classic goodness of Kirizukuba, but with the freshness of today's style. This is amazing! I think so. The supernatant is also a bit cloudy, and I wonder if the gas has lifted the ori. When I mixed it, it was more cloudy and I couldn't even see it.

Purchased as a souvenir on a trip to Ibaraki. It is a local brand of Urasato, and according to the store owner, "Ibaraki people always drink it during the year-end and New Year's holidays" 😳. Like Urasato, it is not too sweet and has a gaseous taste that I never get tired of drinking!

The aroma is subdued, but there's a great sense of gas that only a new sake can have... The sake is dry with a moderate sweetness followed by a crisp finish. It is also useful as a food sake. In addition, the price is reasonable for this quality... It is a versatile sake that can be enjoyed by anyone. I would like to try the fire-brewed type next time.

HinaHanaMama told me about Urasato's nigori, so I decided to compare Kirizukuba and Urasato's nigori 😊. I started with the Kiri-Tsukuba, which is distributed in Ibaraki Prefecture, so I popped it on the internet. The aroma is mild and faintly fruity. The gas is not as strong as the Urasato, but it's still very chili ✨I get a beautiful sweetness and umami, with some bitterness in the aftertaste. When you mix the lees, it becomes silky! There is also freshness, Urasato is a little more tannic than Kirizukuba 🤔The hint of aroma is also stronger with banana ✨I also feel the umami strongly. On the second day, the fresh sweet umami is easy to drink and refreshing. The silky feeling is gone and I feel a bit of bitterness at the end. The second day is easier to drink and I can drink it as much as I want 😋.

Good morning, ichiro18! I'm looking forward to comparing different labels of the same brewery's light nigori 🎵. The Urasato-san with its sweetness and gorgeousness, and the Kiri-Tsukuba with its freshness, both look well-balanced and delicious 🎵. I'm sure you'll enjoy the balance between the sweetness of the Urasato and the freshness of the Kiri-Tsukuba 🤤.

Good morning, ma-ki-😃. The Kiri-Tsukuba was fresh, wasn't it? Also, you wrote about the difference between Urasato being Junmai and Kiritsukuba being Honjozo, and I thought it was just as it should be 😁It's exciting to compare drinks 🥰.

First time at a sake brewery✨. Purchased at Kanazawa Ruzo Sake Brewery in Mito City I drank a regular one at the store? I drank Kiri-Tsukuba and enjoyed it, so I bought this light nigori! I drank it without leaving the day with the snowball and was surprised that it tasted just as good 😊. If I drank it blind, I might not be able to tell the difference (lol). I think this one tastes a little more sour. I'd love to try some of the other ones ✨

After the chicken with mayo ponzu and Hakurakusei, here it is. The aroma is slightly banana-like. The mouthfeel is light-bodied with a fizziness and moderate sweetness. The second half finishes crisp with bitterness and alcohol, light and delicious. I asked the AI, which has learned data, to suggest the BEST 3 on the inventory list to go with today's dishes, and it said, "Hmmm? Foggy Chikuba, isn't it a good match for today's mayopon?" I asked him, "It is the best match! Because〜(long...)" I wish he had told me first...

Good evening, Mr. Manachy! I have them read the pairing theory and update the inventory list in a timely manner, and when they do so, they research the specs as much as possible 😊They also explain the theoretical basis when suggesting the best 3 to go with the dish 😂.
