Hori
We received a spring-like peach-colored nigori sake from Ride? This sake is made by the Sakai Sake Brewery in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is famous for its Gohashi (five bridges).
I fell in love with the pink nigori sake when I first tried it last year, and was intrigued by the similar looking ride?pink. I was interested in the similar looking ride?pink, but by the time I realized it was no longer sold anywhere, so I waited a year to get my hands on a bottle.
It has a distinctive label design, a silhouette of a raccoon dog on a motorcycle, and I've seen it released in a variety of color labels depending on the season, in addition to pink. It might be fun to have all the colors.
When you twist the screw cap, you can see the bubbles rising and the freshness of the bubbles is outstanding.
When you drink only the supernatant, you can feel a pleasant gaseous sensation and a sharp acidity.
In terms of fruits, it is more like raspberries or plums with a stronger acidity than strawberries.
After mixing the lees, which are hard to mix because they have hardened, and drinking it, you will find a soft, thick mouthfeel with a tight gasp. The milky lactic acidity mellows out the sharp acidity, making it suddenly easier to drink. Although it is low-alcohol, I drank too much of it and it came with a gusto afterwards.
