Even without nigori, you can feel the sweetness and creaminess of the rice.
When nigori is added, the rice is tender and creamy. The sweetness is even more refined!
The aftertaste is spicy and sharp at the back of the throat, with a hint of sweetness that lingers in the mouth, inviting the next sip!
What is surprising is the price: 990 yen for a four-pack! It may be adjusted for brewing alcohol, sugar, acidifiers, etc., but it is well made with a strong flavor and may be the best value for money. ❗️
Following the speed of new sake, I didn't know there was such a seasonal sake 🤩 Fear not, Morishima Sake Brewery, Fuji Taikan! It doesn't stop with Morishima💦.
No wonder I heard that there are many female fans at the sake shop ✨.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Fuji Taikan, there is a place in Yamagata, my hometown, that carries it, so it looks like it may be available outside of Ibaraki as well.
I was surprised to see a new junmai sake being released in mid-October, and I was also surprised to see this nigori sake 🫢.
This is good. It has a melon-like aroma that passes through the nose, and the flavor is robust and sharp. Whether you like modern or orthodox sake, this is a sake for everyone. Although the price has gone up, it is still affordable. Good sake.
1650 including tax
Morishima Sake Brewery in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
Although Morishima is well known.
It is made from 100% Yamadanishiki, with a rice polishing ratio of 65%.
It is a dry honjozo with a sake degree of +10.
We enjoyed it cold, and it had a clear, sharp taste without the peculiarities of a honjozo.
