The sake was supposed to be warmed up, so I had it lukewarm.
The aroma is not as strong when heated, and it doesn't have the distinctive warming sensation that hits the back of the nose, but it has a mild taste, so even people who don't like hot sake can drink it. It tastes sweet at first, but it has a sharpness to it, with a sourness that lingers at the end.
We paired it with a kiritanpo hot pot, and it went well with the light chicken broth and rice.
Sasanokawa Sake Brewery was at the Fukushima Product Fair.
I was driving to another event, the Asian Fair, so I was not able to sample the sake 🙀.
The brewery bottles freshly pressed sake and freezes it at -30℃, so you can enjoy the original flavor of umami, spiciness, and acidity of the sake in its freshly pressed state.
If you are looking for a sweet sake, this is the one for you! He recommended it to me.
I let it slowly dissolve in the refrigerator before enjoying it.
The sake was thick and glossy, with almost no bitterness. Fruity ginjo aroma and flavor. Sweet and delicious!

I bought a bottle of nigori sake because it was so rare.
There was also the hottest sake in Fukushima.
The frozen sake was still tickling when I got home: ❄️
I let it thaw slowly in the fridge before serving.
This nigori sake is very active and on the verge of erupting.
It is rather dry 🤔I can feel the umami well.
I think it is similar to nigori sparkling sake.
The next day, I think the sweetness increased.
