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.

Sweet but fresh.
The taste was tropical fruit like banana or pineapple.
The richness and umami spread in the mouth, and there is also a slight toromi (thickening) feeling. The aftertaste has a sake-like quality. It has a mellow, umakuchi taste. The aftertaste is also umami, which lingers slowly.
It is a completely different genre from the sake I have been drinking recently. Well, I bought it by the packet...
Returning to Taipei from Tainan, we went to a sake store called SAKEMARU near our hotel.
I chose a Niigata sake from among many varieties 😊.
As the name suggests, it is pink and nigori (cloudy). It was not too sweet and refreshing 😋.

Nutty after fruity? Cacao? I think the taste of "cocoa" drifted in the air, but I wonder if it got mixed with the Echigo Yuki-Kohmei and Ponchukan Koshi Tanrei that I was drinking before that...? I had some water in between at one point.
The aftertaste was a little unpleasant, but because I was curious about the truth, I wanted to re-drink it properly at the restaurant.
Fresh rummy aroma.
Quite soft sweetness in the mouth. Almost no acidity. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
The taste is much more ladylike than I had imagined. I wonder if it is partly because it is a Niigata sake.
Thank you again. I would like to enjoy a variety of spring sake from now on.
Here are some extras.
🌸This is one of the bottles that I completely bought by the jacket. The cute label of spring sake stimulates my desire to buy...
The color of the liquid is a slight pink, and it looks good. It is said to be derived from ancient rice (黑紫米).
