After the sake tasting, we went for a single dish. We had a bottle of Mikotsuru, which is also a staple at this restaurant. Needless to say, it was fruity and delicious, and the three of us enjoyed it together.
Summer Nigorinpic 81
The Nama-shu Dai-open series has ended with Jigin-sama's Jungin Omachi Nama-shu, and today we are resuming the Nigorinpik 😀 We say summer, but there are many left over from the winter and spring Nigorinpiks 🤣.
Currently we have 14 bottles of nigori sake in stock, but we are still planning to collect summer nigori sake little by little, so I think we will be able to record our 100th bottle of nigori sake this season when the summer nigorinpic is over ❓🤣.
So the 80th bottle of nigori this season is my favorite Nagano sake, Gokotsuru's active nigori nama sake😇.
It has been sitting in our cellar since winter, but it is delicious and has a nice, robust, active flavor 😇.
The aroma and taste are very gorgeous among nigori sake 😀.
All of them were delicious, including the supernatant that was brought to room temperature and the one that was mixed 😇.
Good evening, Yasbay🦉.
It's the beginning of summer nigori 😊It's delicious in summer too! It's like it's good for you without a care in the world 😆And the top batter is Miko 😻 just like the two of you who love Shinshu sake😊👍
Good morning, Yasbay😃.
You are back on track for 100 ngolis ‼️ I think the more ngolis you drink the clearer and 🥹brighter🤩 your eyes are 🤗
Yikes 😆👌🍶🌟🌟
Good morning, Yasubeyesan 🌞The nigorin picks are back on in a short span of time ✨️ If you can achieve 100 nigori alone, it would be an unprecedented record 😳Gokotsuru is a Shinshu sake I would like to try and it looks delicious 🍶.
Hi, Pon-chan 😀
I'm going to start with the summer ones... but I have quite a few left over from the winter and spring 🤣.
I think it will be a little while before I can open the nigori type of summer sake 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
I'm actually thinking of drinking as much nigori as I can this year and increasing the ratio of clear sake from next year, because if I drink only nigori type sake, I won't be able to practice sake tasting much 🤣.
Hi Nao888 😀
I still have quite a bit of nigori sake left over from winter and spring, so I have resumed trying to open those first 😀.
Of course, I plan to open a bottle of the nigori type summer sake that I recently purchased as well 😇.
Polishing ratio: 50
Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki
Alcohol content: 16%.
It has a strong aroma, and the first sip gave the impression of being a little sweet, with a strong umami flavor, making it a refined gem.
I paired it with sashimi and had a very elegant time.
It does have a sweet banana-like aroma, though,
However, when you put it in your mouth, you do not feel much sweetness.
It has a moderate acidity and umami followed by a slightly strong bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste is long.
3.5/5
The last one is Gokotsuru with a classical label.
As the label says, it is a dry, classical drinking, thesake, but the aroma is like a gorgeous honeyed apple, and the aroma and taste do not match😬.
I like dry sake but did not like it much.
★☆☆☆☆
This is the first Mikotsuru I have had, a sake brewed with Yamae Nishiki. The aroma is slightly citrusy, and the taste is sweet but not cloying, and the bitterness is controlled, leaving a long, refreshing sweet aftertaste. The label is more classical, but the taste is very elegant and refined 😋.
Yamae Nishiki in Nagano, numb,
Nice....
Hana-yokuyo in the modern style,
Toichi, Kamokin, which is good even though it's old-fashioned.
Hard to buy, but you're drinking good stuff 😋.
Thank you for your comment, KomeChidori. I have been curious about Gokotsuru for a while, and it was as good as I expected. I'm having trouble with the number of brands I like these days.
