A light nigori (nigori is a kind of rice wine) at Shiraoi. The label is so cute and heartwarming. How can it not be delicious?
Maybe this is the first time I've tasted Wakamizu rice.
It was fresh, tasty and exciting, but I don't remember the details because it's been too long since I drank it. I'll have to record it soon.
I saw it at a supermarket in Tokoname and couldn't resist buying it. Sweet, spicy, sour, piquant. The balance is good!
I knew Shiraoi was the place to be.

Shiraoi often tasted.
◉Shiraoi Junmai Ginjo Summer Usu Nigori Nama Sake
This is a limited edition. The aroma is subdued, with a refreshing citrusy taste. The nose is subdued, with a refreshing citrusy note. The aftertaste is sweet and bitter.
◉Shiraoi Derakara Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
The acidity is sharp and clean. The taste is clean and not spicy.
◉Shiraoi Wakamizu Junmai Hiyoroshi
The taste is very good, with a good balance between the two.
The taste is surprisingly full-bodied, with a deeper flavor than I have had in the past.
Shiraoi (Hakuro) is a sake that has been available here at Fukurokuju for a long time.
Recently, it has also been available at Noe.
This retro label is a first for us!
The manager said this one is quite spicy too!
It is indeed spicy on the palate, but as you sip it slowly, you can feel the sweetness of the rice at the end!
I found this one tastier than the dry version of Bikyuu.
After the dry sake comparison, what's next?
By the way, I ordered my first Genghis Khan dish!

Refreshing!
Nice sourness and bitterness that doesn't assert itself so much from the slight carbonation. The sweetness is moderate and perfect for this season.
It was given to me as a gift from a senior.
Polishing ratio 65
Explanation from a senior
This long-selling product has been on the market since 1969, when it was the first freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake in Japan.
The sake is bottled straight from the tank without heat, dilution with water, or filtration.
It is Shiraoi's standard sake with the fresh sweetness of new sake and the thick, rich taste of unfiltered sake.
I see what you mean when I try it, it does indeed have the unique flavor and taste of nama-zake in its refreshing sweetness.
Personally, it did not particularly sting me, but it was a delicious sake.
