コタロー
Since it is Tanabata, what do you call it? So I opened a bottle of Date Seven, a so-called "doburoku", which is a sake with the name "other brews".
The aroma is sweet, koji-like, and slightly fruity.
The top clear liquid is soft and sweet, with a hint of rice sweetness. I was surprised that doburoku, which is fire-brewed, has such a bubbly taste. Then there is koji, and a little sourness.
When mixed, the aroma itself becomes subdued.
When you drink it, it is smooth, but still has a nice shwashiness, and the mild sweetness of the rice and koji is present, with a subtle, gorgeous aroma that lingers in the nose.
The texture is smooth and silky, and there are no grains to chew on, but when you bite into it, you can taste the rice and its umami.
It is smooth and silky on the tongue, and although there are no grains to crush, you can taste the rice flavor and umami when you bite into it.
The next day, the rice still tastes the same, but it is thicker and sweeter. The sweetness does not linger in the mouth.
It has been hot recently, so it has been a while since I had a rich nigori, but I enjoyed it as an after-dinner drink.
