Hori
I received a bottle of Hirotogawa Junmai Nigori Sake.
I received this bottle for the first time last year and it exceeded my expectation hurdle at pole vaulting height.
When I looked back at my impressions from last year, I wrote that I vowed to buy two bottles next year.
I never buy two bottles at once unless I have a good reason to do so, but I guess it was too much for me in this case.
When you open the cork, the gas leaks out with a loud and lively whoosh. The aroma is fruity and pleasant, but not overpowering.
It is a calm, refreshing, and delicious nigori sake that is different from both a snowball and a winter's daybreak, even though they are both nigori sake. It has a light impression with a certain gasiness and a freshness with a melon-like greenness.
It is not overly sweet and juicy, so it seems to go well with a wide range of meals.
After drinking it, I was once again convinced that I should buy two bottles of this sake.
