Nara Pref. Ikoma City. Ueda Brewery Co.
Ureshicho Nigori Sake Limited Edition
We opened a bottle of nigori that we bought last year because we tasted it at the brewery and liked it, and also because it was a limited edition.
We enjoyed it cold.
About half of the bottle was already on the lees, so I shook it a lot without drinking the supernatant.
Even so, it didn't spew when I opened the bottle.
The color is cloudy, almost like drinking yogurt.
The top aroma is surprisingly mild, although I thought there might be a hint of koji (malted rice).
It has a smooth, fine, milky mouthfeel.
The hint of koji aroma softly escapes into the nose, and the taste is slightly robust with a sweet umami flavor.
After swallowing, there is a yogurt-like lactic acidity and a koji-derived riceiness, making it slightly sweet and easy to drink.
The aftertaste is a bit sharp.
With the addition of sugar and brewer's alcohol, it is well-prepared and has some amazake-like nuances.
When I went to the brewery to buy it, Ueda Sake Brewery registered me as a customer through a questionnaire, so when they made new sake or something, they called me and I refused to do that because of my fridge situation. Sorry 🙏.
