Hori
Summer sake continues to be served after Obon.
Today we opened a bottle of Natsu Doburokku.
For me, as a lover of active nigori sake, Natsu Doburokku is the twin of winter's Snowball.
It has the sweetness and umami of nigori sake, and the refreshing feeling of fizzing. Although it is low in alcohol, it is so light that it is hard to believe that it has 13% alcohol content.
It is so easy to drink that you can finish a glass of wine in one gulp, and the impression you get may be closer to a carbonated lactic acid drink like Skoal or Calpis Soda than to sake.
This year, too, it was one of the best tasting bottles I have ever had.
I bought three bottles last year, but only one this year. I knew I should have bought more. No regrets.
