I have been drinking Nigorizumi for the past 4 years. I also like Yamashiroya's hi-ire sake, but its light aroma and the fact that you have to sharpen your mind when drinking it make it a bit more difficult, so I tend to rely on Nigori-nagashi, which I can drink without thinking. It is one of the sakes that I have been repeating for years, just like Abeno Ipponshime, Senkou's Hatsutan Nakadori, and Yukidaruma.
It has almost no aroma. It has a complex aroma when you drink it, and the citrus and herbal overtones are refreshing and pleasant. It was released in spring, but I think it would be a good sake for summer.
It is not sweet, but the umami of the rice is quite strong and has a decent flavor! I really like it. It has a softness and is definitely tastier than last year!
I was surprised to see the melon aroma peeking out on the third day! Is this really Yamashiya?
As a food wine, it cuts through the harshness and is powerful, making it a perfect match for meat dishes, spicy food, and Chinese food! I'd like to pair it with hot bean curd and spare ribs!
After the Kushira Nigori and Mutsu Hachisen Doburokku, which are both nigori sake, I was surprised to find that they are very similar but have different personalities and tastes!
