I had a preconceived notion that nigori from Tamagawa would be mellow 🤔But this is super refreshing and dry! It is also very fine and smooth 👌It seems to be good for dishes with soup stock.

The mouthfeel is clean and creamy. The aftertaste is like a diluted banana shake. Easy to drink. Delicious.
Heisei sake for this season of 2025.
The sake was so delicious even when served cold that I couldn't help but smile, but I had it heated to 70 degrees Celsius.
It is said to have an alcohol content of 20 to 21, but it was an excellent sake that did not make you feel that.

I thought it was a crane, but it was a stork 🙄.
First of all, cold sake 🧊.
It is almost amber in color.
It has a strong acidity and a slight umami.
It has an aroma of maturity and alcohol, "the sake" 🍶.
Next is heated sake: ♨️
I got it at 60 degrees.
The acidity and alcohol are noticeable 🧐.
When it dropped down to about 50-45 degrees, the acidity settled down and the texture mellowed out.
I can also detect a light nutty sweetness 😊.
About 45 degrees was the best time to drink it.
Heated sake is interesting to search for the right drinking temperature 😉.
After work. I drank Tamagawa for the first time in a while.
It has a unique bitter flavor, but it's also very sharp 🍶.
As I get more and more into Japanese sake, I'm starting to like this kind of austere sake 🤣.
Purchased at Kinoshita Sake Brewery on a trip to Kumihama.
It was dry, refreshing and easy to drink, but I personally prefer sweet sake.
Degree of preference:★★⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
Freshly made 18 degrees. It has a slight fizzy feeling (maybe just a feeling) due to its freshness and spiciness. Tango sake tends to be sweet though. Well, I guess there are tastes, but 75 points.
