This is the first bottle I've had in a year.
I wanted to drink it because it was reputed to be delicious, but last year it was too late😅.
So this season I got🫡.
I will be mixing it from the beginning 😋.
Ohhhh the aroma definitely tells you it's delicious. It's so much more than this!
And the mouthfeel is great too 😋!
Perfectly balanced to my liking!
Slightly fizzy, sweet, bitter, fruity, juicy, it just keeps on coming 👍.
It's as good as it's reputation, easy to drink and unstoppable 😁.
Sir, this is as good as the word on the street says it is 😋.
But I didn't realize the first Urasato was nigori!
Please taste it to your heart's content✋.
Hello, Bousuke 😃.
Oh, I'm so glad you finally made it! You finally got there 🤗This is the one that won't stop kuikui 😋.
We are looking for Mr. Foggy Tsukuba😊.
At Shizukiya
Spooned out with great vigor.
Slightly effervescent supernatant, the sake tastes like elegant grapes
We are now entering the nigori season.
Hakuten in Yamaguchi, Daruma in Tochigi, Shakado River in Fukushima, Shiraginkai in Kujukuri, and Niigata Asahi Shuzo's nigori, which we have already finished 🚅, we want to run through January and February in super-express speed!
Be happy
Mixing it with ori takes it to the next level!
Ibaraki Prefecture has some great sake too!
This is very delicious.
When I first tasted nigori, I was impressed that such a sake existed, then I was excited to see how strongly carbonated it was, then I heated it up, aged it, shook the bottle to remove the carbonation, and so on.
The perfect amount of carbonation that does not interfere with the flavor and the moderate bitterness in the latter half of the bottle are wonderful. The balance between the soft sweetness, bitterness and carbonation is superb. The fact that it is fresh and can be drunk within 4 to 5 days after bottling may be a good thing.
Urasato, which has never had much to drink.
Maybe it's because I usually drink after I'm drunk 😅, but I wasn't impressed.
I read a review on sakewa that this Urasato tastes better after a long time after opening, so I took my time and enjoyed it 😊.
First day, mild aroma, fresh sweetness (like 🍇), bitterness from light sourness.
I don't find the acidity as strong as your post 🤔.
Taste is fruity but the aroma through the nose is graininess
Day 2 I think it has more sweetness...
Some 🍇 feeling but sugar sweetness in the second half
Still bitter at the end
Third day very well balanced and easier to drink 😁 obviously sweeter than the first day 🥰.
Fifth day Not much change from the third day? Maybe the sweetness has calmed down a bit 🤔.
But the bitterness at the end is still strong
I think I prefer it after the third day.
Urasato Ikumoto Junmai-shu 1,800ml
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol percentage: 14% (undiluted)
Many people commented that it is like grape, but it is not that fruity and has a clear feeling. It is not that fruity, but rather transparent. Today is the 3rd day since the bottle was opened. I'm drinking it lukewarm and it's also delicious.
The photo is today's Tateyama mountain range, finally turning white! It's the season for new sake!
Good evening, @Mizuhashi.
The Tateyama mountain range is beautiful ✨
I was able to see the mountain range itself on my trip last month, but it's different when it's white: ⤴️
Sorry for reacting to the scenery instead of the sake 💧.
It's almost time to enjoy lukewarm sake 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san🌇.
From now on, new sake and delicious fish will start to be caught from Toyama Bay. I will upload more beautiful pictures of the Tateyama mountain range when I get them 😄.
The aroma is sour with a hint of yogurt, and when you put it in your mouth, it is smooth on the tongue, and the mild and rich feeling spreads on the palate and is somewhat calming.
