The nigorigo is amazing. This is my first time to drink sake while chewing. A sake that my sweet sake-loving kids will be happy to drink when they grow up. Oh, it's me.
Alcohol 16%, Rice polishing ratio 55
It has a subtle aroma of rice and umami flavor without being habitual.
It is neither too light nor too heavy.
It is the easiest to drink sake I have had recently.

Sizzle when opening the bottle
Slightly gassy
Slightly sweet citrusy overtone
Fruity aroma like sweet grapefruit, soft sweetness and rice flavor spreads with moderate acidity and a touch of gas, leaving a slightly bitter, sweet aftertaste that quickly fades away.
The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is pleasant, and the bitterness is moderate for an ogara-mi, making it easy to drink.
It goes well with meals and is of course delicious on its own.
It went well with pasta with seafood in tomato sauce.
Today we will be having "Hourai", top-size sake from Watanabe Sake Brewery 🍶.
Although it is alsobeye, the mouthfeel is light and easy to drink ☺️
The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is gentle with a hint of sweetness✨.
I want a little more umami, but it's good enough as a food sake ♬♬.
I love this sake, it's very easy to drink, and it's a good choice for a home drink.
I love it when I drink it at home, but for those who usually drink good sake, I have the impression that it is a little lacking 🍶.
The "Hourai" series
Autumn nigori sake mellow and mellow! 🍁✨
As the name suggests, the "yamororo" texture is the star of this rich nigori sake, available only in autumn.
The rich milky texture...
A true "drinkable dessert" level of thickening.
Thick in the mouth, but not too heavy.
