Juicy aroma with melon, pineapple and fruitiness.
It also has a hint of "sake yeast".
Surprisingly, it has a mineral texture.
The sweetness is subdued with juicy acidity.
The sweetness and umami taste comes later, followed by a light bitterness that spreads to the back of the tongue.
There is almost no aroma in the mouth.
It is suitable for a mid-meal drink.
As the temperature rises, the body of the rice can be felt a little.
Taste level ☆ 3.5/5
Crisp acidity and mellow umami
Mellow aroma of grain, the freshness provided by instant press to bottle creates a zippy effervescence, a light and sharp palate with strong minerality and a touch of umami, finishing clean and dry.
Paired it with Bolo Bao with bbq pork
Served chilled
To be honest, I'd have to buy the label - it was sold as a set to go with potato chips, but the chips weren't very good, and it wasn't a good pairing. I like Shishio, so I have no regrets.
Niigata is a sake brewery in Nagaoka!
I used to go to Nagaoka for some reason, but somehow I missed it 😭
It tasted a little sweet and was a good time 👍.
Oh, I would have definitely gone to the brewery if I had known 😭.
Yamashiroya often serves muddy sake in winter, and this year I finally bought two bottles of it.
This is an interesting type of second fermentation in the bottle, in which raw unrefined sake is added to hi-iru sake to give it a fizzy taste. To sum it up, it is a delicious sake that combines the best of both worlds: a solid, down-to-earth flavor and the energetic freshness of the fizzy sensation.
The aroma is light, as is typical of Yamashiroya. The aroma is chewy and somewhat apple-like, like that of gyuhi (rice cake). It is hard to get into for those who like gorgeous sake, but for someone like me who likes light-flavored sake, it is a very attractive sake!
It is very delicious! It has a dry taste that goes well with food, but the muddy component gives it a pop of flavor that is a perfect combination! It is very impressive!
The top clear alcohol alone is a bit strong, but the bubbles and cloudy ingredients make it quite mild.
It seems to be fun to change the taste over a long period of time, but I also think that it would be better to finish it early so that the fizzy feeling remains... I am torn.
