As a palate cleanser after a long day of ⛄️, I bought a bottle of sake from Nagai Sake Brewery in Kawaba, Gunma Prefecture, manufactured in 2024.08 😀.
Active nigori with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Even without mixing the ori, it is stirred in the bottle by the bubbling when the bottle is opened. It is just like UA⛄️.
The raw material rice is Yamadanishiki.
Polishing ratio is 60%.
The alcohol content is 15%.
Sparling...the bottle was small so it got lost in the fridge😅.
I didn't think it would lose its gassy feeling again, but it's a relief since it's a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This time, I opened the bottle by opening and closing the screw stopper with great care (⚠️). I was impressed by the vigorous bubbling.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is discreetly sweet.
When poured into the sake cup, the bubbling, cloudy white liquid makes one anticipate its deliciousness.
When you take a sip, the active bubbles burst in your mouth, followed by a slight sweetness.
The taste of the sake is a bit fizzy as it goes down the throat, but the spreading sweetness disappears quickly and crisply. A dry aftertaste spreads through the mouth to refresh the palate.
The delicious rice flavor and cool, refreshing throat finish make for a delicious 🍶.
This is one of those bottles that reminded me once again that skunk cabbage is delicious.
Not a lot of volume for a single-bottle 💦.
Good evening, Daddy Takel 😃.
I need a palate freshener after a long night of nigori 😅.
I've never had skunk cabbage 🥲 but dry sparkling is my favorite 😋I'd love to have it in a four-pack 🤗.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. Thanks for the rice😊.
I see you like the dry sparkling kind. I guess I'm getting used to drinking lately too, my taste buds are changing and I'm shifting to dry ones rather than sweet ones.
Kusatsu Onsen
We came here to celebrate my daughter's 20th & my birthday!
I'm thrilled: ☺️

Sake AWA Kai (1)
Just like the last meeting at the "Sake Awakai" in Hiran Victoria, we had a sake awakai with our friends and acquaintances!
This time it was a sparkling sake party 🍾.
First of all, we had skunk cabbage!
Aroma like lychee
Sweet and sour like pineapple!
Gasiness and long aftertaste
You become preachy when you drink, I have often been told in the past😅.
I'm quite aware of that 😤.
I only regret it when I sober up 😰...
This is my first skunk cabbage!
I wanted to get ''PURE'' but it's too expensive, so I'll get it for a special occasion!
Yopa Memo_φ(___)
Pretty strong schwar power (note opening ⚠️)
I can't think of any specific fruit🙇 but it's dry and sharp.
Anyway, pure is the only word I can think of 😄.
I've emptied it. I mean, it's hard to leave this one behind 😓.
It was delicious 😋😋😋.
Thanks for the food 🎶🎶.
It is a slightly cloudy, spicy, slightly acidic sparkling wine. It does not have a strong sparkling taste, but you can enjoy the fine bubbles. My wife said it was a sake aimed to be exported to overseas.
Purchased at a liquor store near my parents' home
Slightly carbonated
Ripe persimmon
Apricots (though I've never had them)
Sweet wine
Strawberry flavored rich sweet flavor after the bitterness of the carbonation is like a yui yui
No sticky aftertaste and beautiful lingering finish
A better sake than expected.
I went to Ginza to do some business and had lunch ☀☀☀.
First one 🍶 at Sushi Kiyoshi which I visited for the first time.
Gunma skunk cabbage. It has a nice aroma and flavor, but not too sweet, and the finish is clean and crisp. Superb food sake 🎵
Before the nigiri, we compared the rice. They use three different types of rice depending on the ingredients. It's very elaborate.
