A very viscous sake. The viscosity is the best I've ever had. It is thicker than drinking yogurt. The taste is classified as sweet, and the mashiness of the sake reminds me of amazake, so I imagined it would be sweet like amazake. However, it was clearly different from amazake with its strong rice flavor and firm acidity. It was a proper sake. I enjoyed it with some nukazuke (pickles).
The website of the brewery says "Sake may be muddy, but our thoughts are not muddy at all".
I have always been curious about this nigorizake, Shirakawa-go.
The design of Shirakawa-go's Gassho-zukuri style with a dark nigori like heavy snow falling on the lees.
The emblem is the Miwa sake brewery's three-wheeled crest, which is very cool.
This nigori sake is brewed with twice as much rice as doburoku!
It is thick and rich! Thick and milky white color,
The aroma of unrefined sake is gorgeous,
The sweetness is delicious.
But it is not cloying,
It has a mild, moist and mellow mouthfeel,
The acidity is clean and refreshing, and the rich flavor is smooth and smooth.
The rich umami is smooth and easy to enjoy,
It's really tasty!
It will be gone in no time.
It's still a smoothie, though.
A rice smoothie.
They suggest various ways to drink it. I'm interested in Shirakawa-go Cafe Latte.
