Hori
We received Urasato's light nigori 2nd.
Of course, we compared it with the 1st bottle we opened the other day.
The appearance is exactly the same except for the stamp on the label, so it is hard to tell them apart. There is no discernible difference in the color or cloudiness of the sake.
According to the manufacturer's announcement, the first sake is made from the same ingredients, but with different blends and fermentation processes, and the first sake has a more impactful aroma, while the second is a more harmonious and balanced sake.
We poured the same amount into the same glass and began to compare. First the 1st, then the 2nd. Well, I couldn't tell at all.
We rinsed our mouths with water, reset our noses with the smell of our clothes, and tried again. After comparing the two with my eyes closed, I was finally able to detect the subtle difference in the lingering aroma that lingered in the back of my nose.
The 1st one's aroma spreads out, while the 2nd one's seems to converge. It is a subjective expression, but if I were to use an arrow, I would say that the 1st is upward and the 2nd is downward.
The fact that I was a little drunk from drinking another alcohol before the comparison, the fact that there was a gap of several days between the opening of the bottle and the opening of the bottle, and the fact that my tasting ability is not good enough to begin with, may have had enough to do with this, but I could not find a clear difference between the two. I would like to try again later when I am not drunk.
