Various summer liquors are now available. This time it was Fengkoku's summer sake.
It was sunny this afternoon and the weather recovered, so I opened a bottle that had been well chilled in the refrigerator.
It is a light nigori (light cloudy) sake.
The label is white and empty on the surface, but when you shine a light on it from behind, a starry sky appears on the label. When the lees are mixed in, it looks foggy, and when the lees settle, it looks like a star-filled sky (Milky Way).
At first it is too cold to smell much. The mouthfeel is light, and although it feels spicy on the throat, it has a light sweetness, followed by a grefle-like bitterness and a leesiness that is also combined with the flavor.
The bitterness is pleasant and crisp, making it a delicious summer sake.
Although it is a Fukushima sake, it is not too amateurish and can be drunk without hesitation.
