Urasato Junmai Usunigori 2nd lot.
Gassy and banana-like taste.
2nd lot is very tasty. ❤️
I was told that it is the 2nd lot with emphasis on balance.
I'm glad I bought it~☺︎
Wish I had bought it in a bottle💦.
4.1★★★★☆
Ah, my favorite tasting drink.
Not just any sweet, but one that's a little gooey and sweet, like vanilla, like melon. A kind of quirky sweetness. Glad I haven't encountered this flavor in a while!

Urasato Urasato Light Nigori 2nd Nama Nama Sake
This is a light nigori of the popular brand "Urasato" from Urasato Shuzo, which produces Kirizukuba. The first lot was sold out even after visiting local sake shops. It seems to be quite popular since it was not available at the local sake bar at Mito Station either. I was finally able to buy a second lot. The aroma is subtle, but it disappears quickly with a gentle fruit-like sweetness. It is a sake that you can taste the deliciousness of sake made with Ogawa yeast. If you can find it, please try it.
Degree of liking 10/10
First time in Urasi.
Smells like melon and muscat 😤.
Mild taste all the way through,
Mild taste on the palate.
Maybe because it is Hitachi-Nishiki 🤔?
Riedel seems to have junmai and daiginjo glasses 🍷, so I bought a junmai glass this time: ✨️
I've always been a wine glass 🍷,
I want to use it next time 🙌
Urasato Junmai Light Nigori.
The bottle was opened with a pop along with a pleasant sound.
The aroma of the top clear aroma is a pleasant smell of iso and grain, and when you drink it, you feel a pleasant slight carbonation, a gentle banana feeling and a moderate acidity, and a moderate sweetness, fresh sweetness and bitterness.
When you mix in the corkage, the overall silky and rounded flavor begins to appear, and the gas tube remains intact, but the well-balanced flavor and the sweetness of the melon case and the bitterness of the fruit are again delicious.
The fruit sweetness and bitterness that is felt gently from deep inside is delicious, and combined with the silky taste, it is also delicious.
I may want to drink it with various sake cups.
Bottom of the bottle, less schwarziness.
Green apple and banana-like flavor.
It has a milky flavor with rounded acidity.
The impression is that it has a calm balance for a new sake.
Taste 3.5/5
We received Urasato's light nigori 2nd.
Of course, we compared it with the 1st bottle we opened the other day.
The appearance is exactly the same except for the stamp on the label, so it is hard to tell them apart. There is no discernible difference in the color or cloudiness of the sake.
According to the manufacturer's announcement, the first sake is made from the same ingredients, but with different blends and fermentation processes, and the first sake has a more impactful aroma, while the second is a more harmonious and balanced sake.
We poured the same amount into the same glass and began to compare. First the 1st, then the 2nd. Well, I couldn't tell at all.
We rinsed our mouths with water, reset our noses with the smell of our clothes, and tried again. After comparing the two with my eyes closed, I was finally able to detect the subtle difference in the lingering aroma that lingered in the back of my nose.
The 1st one's aroma spreads out, while the 2nd one's seems to converge. It is a subjective expression, but if I were to use an arrow, I would say that the 1st is upward and the 2nd is downward.
The fact that I was a little drunk from drinking another alcohol before the comparison, the fact that there was a gap of several days between the opening of the bottle and the opening of the bottle, and the fact that my tasting ability is not good enough to begin with, may have had enough to do with this, but I could not find a clear difference between the two. I would like to try again later when I am not drunk.
New Year's nigori pick.
Urasato's light nigori, which has been well-received recently, has been sitting in the refrigerator, but was opened today.
When we opened the bottle, the automatic stirrer was activated, but it did not overflow.
When it was poured, it was quite a bit of a sizzle, and when I took a sip, it was quite a bit of a sizzle! It is totally different from the vigor at the time of opening the bottle.
It has a fresh sweetness as if you are biting into a peach, with a slight melon flavor.
You can feel the sweetness and immediately taste the umami. The mouthfeel is light, but the volume is wonderful. It is honestly delicious with a great balance.
The moment you swallow it, you can feel a little acidity and astringency, so you can drink it without feeling sluggish.
It is good as an aperitif or with Western food. Of course, it is also good on its own.
It may be my favorite among Urasato's wines.
