Fly High series? This is the first time since Mikumari. This is a nigori sake.
In a good sense, it is not like the conventional Hououmida, with a sharpness and a rich umami. It is a good sake, I thought deeply.
Post #539.
The first day I opened it, I got a strong sense of umami, but not much else good.
On the second day, the sweetness increased and the balance with the umami became very good, and it became a very delicious sake completely different from the first day.
Pairing with Ate
Yakitori

Personal preference★★★★☆
It has a good balance of sweetness, acidity, and astringency, and does not seem to tire the drinker.
What lingers on the tongue at the end is surprisingly sourness, and it seems quite sour only at the end.
I had never had this sake despite its fame, but it was so good that Houou Mita will be on my list of sake to buy in the future.
When served cold, the aroma is green apple-like.
Sweetness and acidity are moderate, umami is strong, bitterness is present at the end of drinking but is quite mild.
When lukewarm, the fruity flavor becomes stronger and the bitterness almost disappears.
And the day after Sake Day, which I had completely forgotten about, I started receiving a new label of a sake that was so delicious last year!
Houou Mita by Kobayashi Shuzo!
This time it was Mikumari Fly High Cloudy!
I had seen this sake at Sake-no-Wawa and I really wanted to try Mikumari's nigori, so I got it!
Let's have it right away!
When I poured it into the glass, it had a great sizzle - Mikumari is a master of sakes!
The first day
Now, first of all, the aroma. It smells like a refreshing, lactic acid drink.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a nice refreshing schwah!
Then, fruity, a little salty & nice sweetness - delicious!
The aftertaste finishes well with a rind-like bitterness.
From start to finish, the refreshing elements are well intertwined and well-balanced, making it a delicious sake that can be drunk easily.
The second day
The schwarziness has weakened a little and the bitterness has come forward a little.
Still, the fruity, sweet and salty flavors are well balanced.
On the second day, there is also a bit of ooze. The fruity taste seems to have increased.
I get the impression that the freshness is also increasing, but it's also juicier and more energetic.
The gradation of chili and sweetness to bitterness is unforgettable, and it was a great sake.
Hi, ma-ki-chan 😀 Mikumari nigori is very good 😇.
Normally I would definitely buy it, but I gave up crying because I had plans to buy sake on my Yamaguchi brewery tour 🤣.
I need another cellar 😅.
Thank you, Yasbay!
Oh my 😲 sometimes you have to give up 💦.
And Yasubeyesan, another cellar - that would be a large liquor store already 😁✨✨.
I'm looking forward to touring the breweries 🤗
Thank you, Manachie!
Last year's Mikumari was delicious 🎵.
Personally, I was a bit shocked 😋.
This year's nigori was also delicious with Mikumari's unique flavor 🤗.
Thank you Kano!
I was also thinking I wouldn't be able to drink Mikumari this year, but when the nigori was released - I got it 😁✨✨.
The nigori was delicious too 😋!
If you get a chance, please give it a try 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki-, ⭐️
I was curious about the Mikumari nigori, but I gave up on it because I had so much stock at home 😭
I knew it was good 🤔Next year I'll try it.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃
I've heard so much praise for Mikumari from everyone at Sake-no-wa that I wanted to try it too ✨I guess nigori is the way to go...maybe I'll get it next year 🤔.
Good evening, ma-ki-🌛I drank Mikumari last year and enjoyed it, but I couldn't bring it to you because I'm refraining from buying it 😭and I can't believe it's niggly 🤤I'll break my restraint and bring it to you if I find it: ✨️
Thank you, Mr. Kachikachiyama!
I know you have to give up on sake due to space issues 😅.
I had initially passed on it too, but when a bottle of sake became available, I brought it along 😁✨✨.
Please try it next year 🤗
Thank you ICHIRO18, thank you here too!
Mikumari is a sake that I was shocked by its taste last year, and the Nikoli was also delicious 😋.
If the timing is right next year, please give it a try 🤗.
Good evening, Nao888!
Mikumari-san was delicious last year: ⤴️
Oh, so you're refraining from buying it 😲.
I too was like "ehhhh nigori" when I read your review 😍.
I'm going to lift the self-restraint ban 😁.
Hey, ma-ki-san 😃!
I've only had the first time we drank the Mita Mikumari that you raved about 😅.
I know it's delicious 😋.
Thanks for spreading the Tochigi love 🥰🤗
Thank you Jay & Nobby!
We were shocked at how delicious Mikumari's was the first time 😋.
Yes, CLOUDY was also a definite delicacy and we're glad we brought you along 🎵.
Tochigi Love ❣️ will continue to spread the word in a small way 🤗
