I like Chiyo Shuzo itself quite a bit, but it was my favorite cloudy sake, and it was also Kushira no nigori, which I drank last year and enjoyed immensely. I bought it at the beginning of the year and kept it until June. Last year, I drank it right away, so I didn't care about the flavor, but I dare say that Kushira is a sake to be enjoyed for its flavor, so I persisted until now. How does it taste?
The aroma is alcoholic, like magic ink. At this point, I think it is not for beginners, but once you drink it, you will find that it is a wonderful sake with a sweet, delicious, acidic, and bitter taste that is easy to understand.
The sweetness is low, and although it is suitable as a food sake, it can also be drunk on its own. Is it from the muddiness of the sake?
It has a strong umami flavor, which is outstandingly delicious! It is really delicious!
It is not a bit too "swishy" for my taste. I feel that the acidity and sourness play a role in the freshness, which makes it easy to drink.
Bitterness appears at the end, but some may not mind it at all. It is such a well-balanced sake.
It tastes like a strong "abe," which is my favorite strain of sake! I was very impressed! I am planning to buy another bottle next year and let it mature a little more.
