Nouveau means new wine in French. The concept of this new sake is "to be paired with cheese in a wine glass. It is a junmai-shu with a rice polishing ratio of 70%, bottled freshly squeezed and unfiltered. The price range is also very wallet-friendly.
The taste is refreshing and light. The 14% alcohol content keeps the cup going. The aroma is wine-like. However, when you drink it, the acidity is a little weak. It has a melon sweetness and aroma, so it has a young white wine-like quality.
I wonder if it would go well with carpaccio or white fish sashimi. The label says to pair it with cheese, and it seems to go well with that too.
We received a bottle of Chiebijin Nouveau Nama Sake.
The aroma was fruity, like muscat, and drifted into the glass. Mmmm, nice aroma ❤.
In the mouth, a fruity sweetness with a hint of sourness fills the mouth, and the astringency that comes out in the latter half leaves a long aftertaste.
Mmmm, delicious!
There was not much "gasiness" as stated on the back label, but at 70% rice polishing ratio, this dark umami and aroma are quite good 👌.
Please enjoy it chilled to the perfect temperature 😊😊.
It's been a while 🙇.
I'm in a leisurely posting mode.
Here is a bottle from the June Kumamoto Off-line meeting 🍶.
It was also a precious sake! I didn't know there was a Chiebijin Kojo-shu 😲 It was very delicious 🙏 It was great to meet a sake from Kyushu that I had never seen before 😆.
I got a representative sake of Chiebijin 😁I brought it to the store and opened a bottle with my colleagues. I was the only one drinking it because no one else likes sake, but everyone was surprised at the chiri-chiri-ness they could feel on their tongues. It's fire-roasted, but it's definitely chili, and you can really taste the umami (flavor). ☺️
On the weekend, I went to the racetrack and saw the Royal Family exhibit.
Good morning, Mr. Studying 😃.
Did you go to Tokyo Racecourse? The Japan Cup was a great race 🥰I haven't had the Chiebijin yet but it looks delicious and I would like to try it 😃.
Hello, studying!
I don't get a chance to drink chiebijin very often, but I'm a little curious about the chili and umami, I'll have to get around to it 😋.
I see there is a Royal Family exhibit at the racetrack 😲.
Good evening ichiro18 😃I went to Tokyo Racecourse with my wife the day before Japan Cup 😁Chiebijin likes and prefers umami flavor. They will only make Junmai sake from now on 🙃.
Good evening, ma-ki-😃It's time to have a drink 😊The aged sake I got the other day was so good. The Royal Family Exhibition was only open until Sunday, so we made it just in time 😅.
No schwarziness, but you may feel a slight tanginess remaining.
Light fruity aroma
Sweet, but not heavy sweetness.
Light and easy to drink, but there is a slight alcohol rush and a slight bitterness at the back of the throat.
No lingering aftertaste
The 5th Shinnyame Festival, the 5th Kanno-no-Thanksgiving Mie Shinshu Matsuri⑳.
Chiebijin slides across the booth.
Chiebijin LOVE PINK
It was the first time I knew it was a draft sake, but I don't remember if it was orikara or not. It had a juicy, elegant sweetness and umami flavor with a refreshingly sour aftertaste. It was good too.
After Chiebijin, we had a little break time, looking at the lovely Miss SAKE, not SAKE Bijin, on the side, and were allowed to join a group of people we had met and talked with.
In the meantime, I checked out the booths that I could go to next.
Hi Nemuchi 🐦.
I have this drink sitting in my fridge 😊 it looks delicious 😆 I'm looking forward to it 😆.
I thought you were talking to a beautiful woman but you weren't 😳I read it twice 🤣.
Hi Ponchan 😃It's the perfect sake for a pink-loving Ponchan 🩷I didn't talk much to the Miss SAKE people, but they were perfect and added a lot to the event🌸.
New sake season. Only two bottles due to refrigerator space! This is the first bottle. I chose this bottle because it was almost like a nouveau. And when I looked at the label, I saw cheese in a wine glass! I prepared it. To be honest, it's not so gassy, but.... But it's delicious.
The mouthfeel has a very gentle sweetness and a slight sourness, with a fresh acidity. It is very easy to drink, with almost no fruity, ginjo-like sensations like muscat or grapes. It is like a white wine.
