It tastes good plainly! It is fruity with a sweet and slightly sour taste. The mouthfeel is mellow, and the taste is slightly thick from the middle to the end of the mouthfeel, but the taste goes down the throat quite smoothly and crisply.
As one would expect from Niigata, there is no shortage of delicious sake, and it is no wonder it won the JAL Flying SAKE Award at the SAKE COMPETITION 2023. The fact that it was available at Yamaya is also quite impressive. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is the Gekkokujo series made by Toji Ijima of Mine-no-Hakubai.
It has a fresh, apple-like taste 🍶.
This is the "Gekokoukoujo" series. Personally, I voted for this one 💡.
Nigori spring sake with red yeast
It's only cloudy like an orihara.
The aroma is berry sourness and the characteristic rice smell of nigori sake.
Fruity is fruity but a bit heavy.
The taste is also fuller than expected with a rice flavor, and I expected a sweet and sour taste, but it's not at all what I expected.
However, it is different at all. It is refreshing and easy to drink with a touch of sourness.
This is delicious in its own way.
I think this is the type of wine that shows its potential better with a meal.
