Nagatoro Junmai Ginjo Light Nigori
～La neige d'été
I bought Nagatoro because it had a subtitle like L'Arc-en-Ciel.
La neige d'été is French for "summer snow", and the details of its origin have not been announced, but it is exactly what it looks like: ⛄️
When you open the bottle, you can taste green apple and alcohol 🍏.
The aroma is mellow and fruity, like freshly picked green apples and pears 🥰.
Tastes like the apple, the most apple-like sake I've ever had 🍎.
It has a great sharpness and finishes with a slight bitterness.
The inside of the mouth is clean and refreshing.
After the second day, the sourness and bitterness become milder and the apple flavor becomes more mellow 😋.
If I see it, I'll definitely buy it again. ☺️
Good evening, Afio😄.
L'Arc-en-ciel has bitten me 🤣.
I've always thought L'Arc's Honey is the pinnacle of J-rock songs 😊.
Oh, sorry I wasn't talking about alcohol 🤗.
Nagatoro Junmai Ginjo Hi-iri ~La fusion
Nagatoro-kura is one of my favorite sake breweries.
I bought it because it was a blend of "Arabashiri" and "Sesto".
Since I am a novice who can't tell the difference in taste, I only thought it had a strong aroma of sake yeast at the time. I was only surprised by the strong aroma of the sake's yeast and thought it was a bit too strong.
When I drank it again at Starbucks, it was so much easier to drink without such a peculiar smell of the yeast and I wondered why 🤔.
At any rate, it was a delicious sake with a fruity and refreshing aftertaste with a touch of minerality, which is the current trend 🍶.
Good evening, ichiro18: ☺️
I wasn't convinced when I drank it at home, so I tried it again and for some strange reason it turned out to be really good 😳.
It was fruity yet refreshing 😋✨.
Good evening Jay & Nobby, ☺️
I know many of you drink at Sake no Wa, Nagatoro San 😊.
I would like to invite you to drink it as it is my recommended brewery that has both clear and sweet types 🥰.
While drinking Toyo Bijin at Horikoshi Shoten in a friend's car, we drove to Nagatoro, passing through Seiun Shuzo and Teisho. After walking up Mt. Hodo and visiting a shrine, we went to Nagatoro-gura.
The Nakadori was delicious, but I chose Oragami, which I had never drunk before. Orikarami is precious, so there is nothing I can do about it.
It is called "rich umaguchi. It has a nice "schwarziness" to it. It is the opposite of Hakurakusei.
My favorite local sake😍.
The balance between the gentle sweetness of the rice and the acidity is irresistible! It leaves a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste, so I never get tired of drinking it. ❗️
Nagatoro Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku
Ichiro18 posted Nagatorogura, so I'll jump on the bandwagon 😌.
The reason why there are two bottles is because I splurged like an idiot on one bottle with Jigokan and another bottle with another Jigokan on a different day 🙄.
My wife scolded me for this 😭.
I love Nagatoro-san to begin with, so I will at least take my time to enjoy it 🥺.
The aroma is modest, but the elegant ginjo aroma tickles the nose, and the fruity aroma of young melon🍈 and apple🍎 wafts softly through the air. ☺️
It has a gorgeous impression and seems to be quite easy to drink 😆.
The first sip reveals a clean texture with no clutter and a pleasantly smooth feel on the tongue 😋.
It is a delicate sake with a juicy sweetness like fruit at first, followed by an elegant acidity that flows through the entire bottle 🥰.
There is a slight bitterness at the end, but it is easy to drink as the umami is not bothersome from the second sip 😌✨.
It has a nice sharpness and is not too sweet, so I recommend it as a food sake 😆.
Good evening, Afio 😃.
Is this the Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku you mentioned 😳
The box and label are very classy to look at ✨.
But it looks like an elegant, mess-free sake...looks delicious! It's great that you can also buy it with the Jigin hug!
Good evening, ichiro18. ☺️
Yes, it is! I highly recommend this one 😆 It's simple looking and tastes great without any clutter 😋.
I could buy it but at a huge cost 😭
I was interested in Nagatorogura after reading your review, but I couldn't find it near me and thought I would have to go to Chichibu.
I thought it might be a blend of Arabashiri and Blame, but I didn't find it to be too heavy 🤔.
It smells like apples. It has a soft mouthfeel, with a firm sweetness that spreads out but is not heavy, and the acidity is just right. The aftertaste is short and refreshing.
It was a sweet but refreshing and easy to drink sake 😊.
The photo was taken at a yakiniku restaurant in Musashi-shinjo, which turned out to be a beer festival since there was no sake available. The price was honestly expensive but it was delicious 🥰.
Good evening, ichiro18. ☺️
I see you bought Nagatorogura!
It's delicious, isn't it? It's my favorite too ✨
Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku is also very tasty 😆✨
Harami and liver look delicious 🥰!
Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
We are also interested in Nagatoro 🤔 but we have never seen it in a liquor store 🥲.
And! I didn't know they have such a thick slice of liver 😳It seems like it would take a long time for those who cook it well😅.
Good morning, Afio 😃.
I finally came across Nagatorogura... Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku 😳It looks like an expensive sake 🥰I'll try it when I come across it...
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃.
I gave up in my hometown and went to a liquor store I don't usually stop by and met my destiny 😍I think it might be in Tochigi because it's an adjoining prefecture. Maybe they don't ship enough 🤔.
Good morning, Manachie 😃.
The liver was really plump and tasty. I love liver sashimi. I had it with only the surface seared because the surroundings were grilled ✨I want to eat it again 😁.
Good morning, ichiro18!
When I dropped by Sugihara Brewery the other day, I also dropped by a store that specializes in "Imi" and they had 3 different types of "Nagatoro" with different specs ✨.
I was wondering if the quality of the meat is 😲demoniacal 🤣.
Hi Gyve 😃
Wow 😳God you had 3 kinds of Nagatoro 😍Nice ✨I didn't have a choice so I wanted to try the Nakadori and other drinks 😅The meat quality is good and the restaurant has a 4.3 food log rating but the price is a little bit 😅.
Good morning, ichiro18!
The thickness of the meat and the idetachi as well as the sake are enchanting 😍.
The aroma and the sweet and sour taste are so delicious 🤤.
Hi ma-ki-😃
Liver is so picturesque and beautiful 😁I remember the owner of another barbecue restaurant saying how cute it was while cutting the meat before 🤣It seems sweet but the aftertaste was just right with a clean aftertaste!
Hi ichiro18 😃
First of all, my eyes are on the meat 🥩... 🤤.
I've never seen liver like this 🤩.
It looks like it will take a long time to grill or more like it will be difficult 😅If I fail, the outside will be burnt and the inside will be semi-cooked 🤣.
Hi, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I thought it was not good to eat liver raw, but I grilled it until the outside was brown, and the inside was not.... Yes, it was delicious 😁It was resilient, happily chewy, and tasted great without being mushy 🤣.
Slightly tangy
Aroma of grain and rice-like sweetness in the mouth.
After a moment of soft acidity, there is a slight bitterness that quickly disappears in the aftertaste.
The sake is said to be a blend of Arabashiri and Yamewari, which is then fire-aged and matured.
The aroma is gorgeous and refreshing, but there is also a robust sweetness afterwards.
Overall, it has a fruity impression, but it is easy to drink with a solid feel.
It has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of green apples and a refreshing acidity.
You can enjoy the soft umami and sweetness of rice that "Sake Musashi" has to offer.
