Hori
I received a bottle of Chiebijin Lapin.
This is my first Chiebijin and my first Oita Prefecture sake.
I was at a liquor store and was required to buy one more bottle of sake, and this was the one I chose. I had seen it on social networking sites, but the actual bottle stood out amongst the many labels.
It was a not-so-positive choice for a cuddle, and one of those so-called "jackets," but it was an unexpected bonanza.
It was a bittersweet, lactic sweetness and umami with a hint of youthfulness, just like the activated nigori sake that I love to drink when I am new to sake.
I have always thought all light nigori spring sake is delicious, but Lapin was outstanding.
Without question, it will definitely be on my list to buy again next year.
