NIRO "NIRO" 2025
This is not "Two Rabbits" but "Two Wolves".
NIRO is a sake made by a wolf in a rabbit's skin.
The concept is that a wolf wearing a rabbit's skin made sake instead of a rabbit.
This year's theme was "Secret" 😆.
When I drank it, it reminded me of green apple 🍏 feeling.
It reminds me of a green apple 🍏 feeling and is wrapped up with a refreshing acidity.
Refreshing and crisp.
Very nice sake 😆😆😆.
It is different from usual Ni-Uto.
I discovered a new Maruishi.
So sparkling that you can't open the cork for a while.
The aroma is fruity.
In the mouth, you can feel the overflowing gas.
The gentle sweetness spreads gradually and is rounded off by a hint of nigari.
The aftertaste is refreshing with light acidity and gas.
A strange taste!
Slightly sweet and sour, with a bitter taste that spreads.
No unpleasant sensation, disappears without a trace.
Very little alcohol.
Maybe it is a taste that can be liked or disliked differently.

I was home from a one-day business trip and watched
I've been watching "The Butterfly Effect" at home after a one-day business trip.
I had a nice relaxing drink after a long day 😁😁.
Today I had 3 places/3 brands 😅😅
Now, tomorrow is Sendai 🚅.
A slightly heavy citrus and yogurt lactic acid-like aroma🍊🐮.
On the palate, a beautiful sugar sweetness and rice flavor come together, followed quickly by a sharp bitterness 😳🙌!
The sweetness and bitterness ruminates in the mouth! ✨
Fits the rabbit and wolf on the label 🐇🐺.
Delicious 😋🤤.
A slightly special sake, bottled in the store, accompanied me this evening. When I tried to open the bottle, there was a huge noise and the crown almost flew off. What a surprise! The aroma was mild, but slightly organic. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the strong, squashy, acidic taste spreading on your palate. It was like a sparkling wine, so a champagne glass appeared. Drinking it with a glass of champagne, the flavor of the rice is enhanced and the acidity is calmed down, which is to my liking. The spicy steamed Chinese cabbage was a nice way to sweeten the sake. Combined with fried onions and mushrooms in butter, it refreshes and resets the palate. It is also good with grilled yellowtail with salt. After the sardine stewed in ume plum, the sake changes to a clean, dry taste, which is also possible.
It is an interesting sake that changes its flavor depending on the accompaniment, but I think it is a little too organic for my taste.
