January 5: Drinking at an inn on vacation.
The aroma is a bit of takuan-like juku-jyuku aroma, and the color is slightly yellow.
Mild rice sweetness and deep richness.
Disappears in the back of the throat, leaving a tingling sensation of alcohol.
The flavor seeps in with each successive sip.
This is the first type without a front label that I have seen in a long time. The amount of nigori had a visual impact, so I got one to try!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was like that of lactic acid beverages such as calpis.
The taste is thick and the nigori flavor attacks directly!
It has a creamy sweetness that is almost sugary, but the spicy astringency that comes afterward tightens it up and makes it disappear gradually.
When served on the rocks, the sweetness becomes less pronounced, and the refreshing acidity in the background gives it a lactic acid drink-like flavor.
It is a good combination with the dark flavors of pork marinated in miso and sea urchin jellyfish that I happened to be eating!
It's rich, but it's a gentle taste that goes well with meals ✨.
It's starting to get a little hot this time of year. It's a great drink to enjoy on the rocks 😋.

The aroma is not so long.
A faintly sweet aroma?
It is soft on the palate.
The bitterness remains a little, but I think the bitterness makes it more refreshing.
The description says to drink it at room temperature or chilled, but I was tempted to warm it up, so I warmed it up lukewarm.
It's not bitter, but it's softer and tastes great!
This is the kind of sake that you can drink every night without getting tired of it!
