The sixth Koei Kiku is Snow Crescent's Oyama Nishiki.
This is the fourth bottle of Snow Crescent alone. The order was Yamadanishiki, Sagabiyori, Sagabiyori, and Yuyamanishiki.
This time, there was no warning tag attached to the bottle, so I was caught off guard. I held the cork to make sure it was sealed, but the moment I took my finger off the cork to pull it out, it flew open and hit the ceiling.
It flew off at the same time as Kangiku Haruhi Orikara, but it flew faster this time.
Because it is such a lively sake, it has a strong effervescence. Pouring only the supernatant into a glass, it looks like a carbonated beverage. The sizzling and popping taste is perfect for summer.
When the lees are stirred and the wine is drunk, it tastes just like this. The harmony of sweetness, umami, acidity, bitterness, and a hint of woody flavor creates a unique character that sets Snow Crescent apart from other sakes.
Where does this woody nuance, which is similar to an oaky aroma, come from? I would like to try other sakes that have this nuance.
Hopefully, I would like to compare the different rice varieties, but there is the problem of space in the fridge, and above all, I am sure that I will not be able to resist opening it until then.

Hi Hori, ☀️
I haven't had a Snoclet yet, but I have some Yamadanishiki sitting in my fridge 😌✨.
As for Hori, which of the Snoclet you've had was your favorite?

Thank you for your comment, Kotaro: ‼️
I feel like the first Yamada Nishiki was delicious 🌾It is possible that I have a memory correction from the impact of drinking it for the first time, so I will try to answer your question with the next season's Yamada Nishiki 😊.
