＜It's refreshing, happy and fragrant, perfect for summer.
It's been a while since I've had Nabeshima. This is my first Kitashizuku. The label is cool and nice.
Kitashizuku is Hokkaido's preferred rice for sake brewing. Along with Ginpu and Comet, also from Hokkaido, it is a popular rice these days. It is said to have less miscellaneous flavors and is expected to produce soft tasting sake.
The aroma is a banana ginjo scent. It also has a faint fruity acidity. It's good.
When you put it in your mouth, it is nicely carbonated. Behind that, a beautiful umami, acidity, and a faint sweetness appear. Contrary to my expectations, it's not very sweet. But it's delicious! The aroma in the background is also a ginjo aroma.
It is a refreshing and happy sake that goes well with summer.
If you compare it to Ghibli, it is like the girl with wings in "On Your Mark". "On Your Mark" is a 7-minute short film made as a music video for Chage & Aska. It's quite a difficult piece of work, and the identity of this girl is also a mystery. But she is a beautiful girl with a sense of transparency, and the blue sky suits her well.
Satisfaction: ★★★★
I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images. If you'd like, you can search for "Korune Sake" or come from the link in my profile section.
