Aftertaste: Beautiful acidity lingers
Impression: Fruity with pronounced acidity
The aroma is not that fruity, but after you taste it in your mouth, you can feel the fruitiness, probably due to the acidity.
It is said to be unusually sweet for a Niigata sake.
When we opened the bottle with high expectations, we found that the top aroma was modest, but when we put it in our mouth, it smelled a little like cemedine, which was a little bit bitter to our nose. It is a bit like cemedine. It is a bit like a cemedine. The sweetness is certainly felt, but I felt something rough or awkward.
The next day, I tried the rest again. It was totally different from yesterday's. The cemedine smell was gone.
The cemedine smell was gone, and a strong sweetness came to the fore. And with a smoothness that has matured elegantly. It was so delicious that I could have drunk it forever without a snack.
It was quite a unique sake.
Thank you for the sake.
Murayu is still delicious.
It has no noise at all! It has a fruity taste, but it's fresh and sweet without being overpowering, so you can drink it forever!
The cup Otomochi prepared for us is too beautiful.
It's called Tokiwa Label.
It is a sweet sake and easy to drink. If you are not careful and drink it too much, it turns out to be alcohol! I thought it was sake.
It doesn't look like sake, but it is delicious.
Second one for the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is Murayu ✨
I buried it in snow and let it cool down to a kink lol
The aroma is gentle, with a hint of sweetness.
The mouthfeel is beautiful, soft, and clear, and the taste is elegant and gently sweet, but it is supported by a good acidity and is not dull.
This unique sweetness, which comes slowly from the clean, clean sake quality, is also very good ✨.
I've seen reviews that say Murayu is sweet like Wasanbon, and it's true that it's more like a Japanese sweet than a sweet or fruity with a strong sense of rice. I think it's like that 😆.
It's unique and very tasty, so this is a sake I'll be pursuing...!
Murayu - dark blue blue label Nama Sake
The atmosphere of the aroma seems to be sweet and flavorful! 😉 😉
Strong sweetness with a clear and mellow Wasanbon type sweetness that is typical of Murayu! Acidity and umami come in the aftertaste, but the overall sweetness 😌.
I haven't been able to buy it in a long time! (After 4 years?).
I can't find it near the distributor... 😔
