#Sake
We received Kawatsuru Olive Active Nigori Spring Label.
This bottle is brewed with "Oceto," a sake rice produced in Kagawa Prefecture, and Sanuki olive yeast from olives on Shodoshima Island.
It is a sister product of the dark blue-labeled active nigori that we received in April, and is said to be a light nigori spring sake brewed with less lees than the dark blue-labeled winter release and stored in ice temperatures before being released from the brewery.
The strong bubbling from the bottle fermentation is the same as that of the dark blue label, but perhaps because of the reduced lees, the opening of the bottle took only about 5 minutes, whereas it took more than 10 minutes for the dark blue label.
The mouthfeel is just as gassy as that of the dark blue label, and the gasiness is comparable to that of a carbonated beverage. It has a silky texture, which is typical of light nigori, with the soft umami and sweetness of rice. The bubbles that pop are refreshing and cool, and it is easy to understand why it is compared to cream soda or calpis soda.
At a low alcohol content of 9 degrees, it is easy to drink, and its sweet and shwashy taste makes you want to sip it in a large glass.
The ingredients and manufacturing process are Japanese sake, but you do not feel like you are drinking sake. However, as a drink, it has a very high degree of perfection, and I think it is a drink that everyone can enjoy.
(This was finally the last spring sake in our house.)
Home Drinking
Fresh & fruity. Gently sweet, like a white wine🍾. It also has a ✨sourness to it. It's also great with Italian food because of the olive 🫒 yeast 👍I'd like to drink it chilled!
The squid sashimi was also delicious. 😋
From the moment you drink it, the sweetness is intertwined with the acidity, leaving you with a clean aftertaste. According to the endorsement, the water yeast + white malted rice + olive yeast produces a complex sourness. I can see why. The alcohol content is also kept low, making it perfect for the current season.
The alcohol content is only 8%. The light, sweet and sour taste, combined with the pleasant effervescence, makes it easy to drink.
It is more of an aperitif or dessert wine than a food wine. I drank it all up in no time!
4.5 stars
Pear-like fresh aroma.
Sweetness with a sense of transparency
Beautiful taste with a sense of neatness.
I checked it out and it's a great deal!
