Snow Kirara was a summer gift from a colleague.
I have never had this sake before, but I thought the size, the font on the label, the color, and the total cuteness of the sake 🩷.
It was very easy to drink in this summer heat👍.
Gyve, thank you here too 😊My coworker has been driving to Fukui 🚙Winter roughage, I imagine I'll like it too based on the power of this summer drink, so I'll definitely check it out👍.
Junmai from the first brewery
It seems to be a classical junmai sake.
It has the quality of a classic junmai sake.
It has the fullness of rice,
umami and a gentle mouthfeel.
I feel like I'm drinking sake!
It makes me feel happy 😊Sweet
Aftertaste is like Gohyakumangoku
Clear and crisp
Sake bartered with Mr. Jive.
I am very grateful for sake that is not available in Kansai!
Thank you 🙏.
The name "Yukikirara" is so nice😍.
Freshness and graininess. Bitterness like sweet summer. Some unique flavors.
The second half of the bottle is quite strong, so it might be good to drink it on the rocks like you wrote 🤔.
I've heard some reviewers describe it as "skinny" in their review of Ara-Shibori, but I think this one might be like skinny too 😳.
I think it's a little easier to drink on the rocks.
I have the impression that it's like a dry version of Ice Breaker because it doesn't get thin even with ice.
Good evening, bouken 🌛.
Thanks for the review ✨
I personally like the Yuki Kirara Ara Shibori so I'll bring it back for the offline meeting 😁.
I'll post more of the sake I got from you and a little Omachi 😊.
Opened April 20, 2024
Purchased at the brewery.
Quickly, it has the acidity and freshness of a raw sake ❗️ sweetness with the warmth of gentle grains...
The second half has a fruity bitterness... lychee, hakusaku 🍊...
It's not so thick, so you can drink it neatly, very well-balanced sake 🍶.
Gyve, here are the drinks you gave me 😆.
Thank you so much 🙇.
Cape Echizen and this one I had never seen at all, "Yukikirara" ‼️
I'm so happy to have such nice Fukui sake 😆.
It's very strong and has a very high alcohol content 😆.
It has the freshness of a fresh sake, it's a sake you want to take your time with ✨.
Good evening, Mr. Menshuoh!
Snow Kirara Ara Shibori is a New Year's drink in my family and I was curious to know what people in other parts of the world think of it 😁.
One person described the impact of the taste as "gari" 😋.
Hi Gyve 😃
Oh, it was a New Year's sake at Gyve's house: ‼️
The description of "gari" is kind of nodding to the "gari" 😊Gatchy taste with a refreshing sensation 😉 well expressed ✨.
I went on a trip from Nagoya to Shiga to Fukui to Kanazawa over the February holidays 🚄.
In Fukui Prefecture, I was so HAPPY to have a toast with Jive-san, who I met at Sake-no-Wawa: ✌🏻
It was a very fun night and even more HAPPY that he sent me some sake from Fukui when I got back 😭✨.
Here's what we received first!
I also remember Jive-san drinking it!
First sip, impact like you're eating gari!!!!
(lack of vocabulary & expression)
But I really felt... gari... gari 😝 lol
It's such a good balance of sweetness & sourness & depth!
But it soon calmed down to a refreshing and mellow sweetness.
I love drinking at home because I can taste the impact of opening the bottle!
I have a lot of sake that I haven't been able to summarize due to hard work at the end of the year, so I'd like to keep writing about it. ✍🏻
Hi takeshon! I had a great time with Gyves and he even gave me a gari...........................................it was rude to call it a gari 😂 lol It was a great trip!
Good morning, chiaki!
Thank you for calling on us 😁.
It's great to get your review too 😊.
The impact and aftertaste is addictive, I would also describe it as [gari] 🤣.
Hi chiaki 😃
I also got to toast to you and Jive 😊Good Hokuriku trip 🥹The souvenir gari looks delicious 😆The taste of it will also add to your memories: ☺️
Also, please take your time to come back 👋
After the first drink of the year at "Harada Gentetsu", I went to my parents' house to open the annual sake bottle for a drink 🍶.
Snow Kirara ARA-SHIBORI.
Sake brewed in the fall is first squeezed and bottled as it is.
We compare the top clear and cloudy versions.
[Kamisumi]
The clear rice aroma, juicy flavor, and freshly squeezed aftertaste, and the strong bitterness that lingers at the end.
[Nigoromi]
Fresh rice aroma, rich and creamy mouthfeel, sweet freshly pressed aftertaste, and a slight bitterness at the end.
The top clear layer alone is not enough 🤔.
It's only when it gets cloudy that it really comes into its own 😆.
I drink this every new year, and after a year of drinking various sakes, I come back to this deliciousness again at the beginning of another year 😁.
The local cheese store [Happy Cheese], which was reflected in my last post, is open on New Year's Day, so I took out an assortment of 8 kinds of cheese to go with it.
The alcohol content is a bit high at 17%, so be careful not to drink too much💦.
Hi Jive 😃
A regular bottle to drink at my parents' house: ‼️
It's nice to have a local sake 🍶 to revisit your taste buds after a year around 🤗.
The various cheese🧀 entrées look delicious too 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
For me, I feel that this sake drunk in the New Year is the best way to enjoy the new sake 😁.
Especially in the previous year, I was able to drink a lot of different sakes due to the progress of my drinking activities, so I felt differently 😋.
Good evening, Gyve-san 🌙
The one bottle I drink every year, I often drink it without any idea what it is 😊I see it was Harada's snack cheese 😍It looks like it would go well with it ❣️
Good morning, Pon-chan!
I think I've become more sensitive to the taste of sake, especially since I was invited to the Kansai Off-line Meeting the previous year and had the opportunity to drink various types of sake 😁They have a delicious conte cheese here 😋.
The first sip is quite spicy, so it hits you hard.
Slowly, the fruity taste came later in the mouth.
Since it is a cloudy sake, I enjoyed it with the top clear liquid at first.
Quite dry and fruity.
Next time I mixed the whole bottle and drank it, the dryness softened and the sweetness and spiciness became
The sweetness and dryness were exquisitely balanced without being overbearing.
The sweetness and spiciness were perfectly balanced without being overbearing,
