#Japanese Sake #Fukuoka #Tachiarai Town
This is the first time I've had Yamahai Nigori. I was curious to see what it was like, so I bought it.
We served it with sashimi, salad, sausage, and cheese.
It's a fire-retarded sake, but they say it's still carbonated because they fire it with gas left in it.
Sure enough, when I opened the bottle, it was bubbling. Heh! It's not slightly carbonated, but there's some gas left.
First, let's take a look at the top. It's like crisp, hard water.
Then, after mixing it slowly so that it doesn't blow out, we drink it muddled.
The sweetness of the rice is added and it is good. But it is still dry. It's unusual for a sake that is Yamahai, cloudy, and has a low alcohol content.
I didn't feel it at first, but as I continued to drink it, I noticed that it smelled like ....... I've smelled it somewhere before. I'm not sure what to make of it. I wonder if it's bran? I started to feel it about after I ate the cheese, some kind of chemical reaction?
But I can feel the smell of the bran when I inhale it before drinking it, but I don't feel it in the aroma that comes out of my nose when I put it in my mouth. It's strange.
On the second day after opening the bottle, the aroma remained the same, but the taste became mellower.
It was an interesting sake.
I would have given it 2/5 stars if it didn't have the smell of tobacco.
