With winter finally approaching, I found myself buying only nigori sake.
I don't feel much Uetatekoso. I am invoking my usual stupid nose.
The mouthfeel is a tangy, gaseous taste with a gentle sweetness and a robust umami. Tsururei is always very convincing. It has a slightly alcoholic aftertaste, and the astringency of the lees adds a nice accent.
Please don't abuse me.

Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Niigata Prefecture
Nigori Sake Junmai-shu Nama-shu
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol 17%.
When the cork is opened, the carbonation rises at once.
It has a strong acidity and astringency, and has a unique flavor that is different from that of a simple cloudy sake.
It has little sweetness and goes well with Japanese food.

The sweetness and umami of the rice are well balanced.
The mouthfeel is clean, but with a hint of ginjo aroma and a mellow aroma. ☺️
The Junmai specs were as satisfying as Junmai Ginjo level 🤗.
Gorgeous aroma, like a young melon
Mellow mouthfeel with mellow rice flavor.
In the latter half, a slight bitterness is felt, and it slowly disappears.
It was a delicious sake with more freshness and umami than the usual Tsururei.
I opened my mouth in anticipation of the apple-like aroma that I had heard about before.
In fact, it also had a gorgeous, elegant apple-like aroma that whetted my appetite.
The acidity was 1.4, but the mouthfeel was more acidic, perhaps due to the aroma, which was also delicious.
It's so delicious, you'll be amazed: ‼️
