★★★★/ Nigori-shu
Nigori-zake is not really my favorite kind of sake.
There's a unique sweetness to Nigorizake.
Like amazake.
It has that unique sweetness.
But is it easy to drink?
It's a bit high in alcohol content.
Dry and refreshing? But it felt heavy, was it because of the 18% alcohol?
No, it was because I was already drunk to a very good degree 🤪.
I don't remember much 🙏.
I'm sure it was delicious 😁.
I went to Nihonbashi Honten, Mihama-cho, Fukui Prefecture, with a friend to drink all the sake in Fukui.
We aim to drink 4 kinds of sake all-you-can-drink, all the way around.
3/4 Kutouryuu Itsuhin
Aromatic, strong taste, very drinkable.
Delicious 🍶.
The price seems to be very reasonable for a family budget, but very satisfying.
I've been drinking 365 days a year for the past few years with no rest days and I haven't had a Kutouryuu.
Anyway, I bought the cheapest regular sake.
It has a slightly fruity taste, so it is good chilled or heated.
It's like a nightly drink.
Subdued aroma
Mellow mouthfeel with slowly spreading umami
There is also a strong impact typical of the Kuroryu Sake Brewery,
The aftertaste is crisp and fades away.
