Continuing from the previous issue, this bottle was purchased at Izumiya Sake Shop in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. I would have preferred to buy it at the brewery, but with my schedule, I bought it here.
This is the second sake from the Niida family, following the "Odayaka" we had last year.
The rice used for this sake is naturally grown rice called Toyonishiki.
Polishing ratio is 85%.
The alcohol content is a low 13%.
Kumi-dashi four-stage brewing with sake brewer's yeast
Bottle is once fired to preserve the freshness.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is fresh and sweet.
When poured into the sake cup, it has a gentle, slightly effervescent, light nigorigo color.
When you take a sip, you will feel the lightness of the slight effervescence with a gentle mouthfeel. A round sweetness and a sourness derived from the sake's traditional sake brewing process spread through the mouth. When swallowed, the slight bitterness quickly fades away, leaving a clear aftertaste.
Shizenshu is very easy to drink, with a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity. It is a gubigubi type of sake, yet it is very intoxicating and delicious 😋.
