This is the first Tasake I've had in a while, which I drank 2 months ago. I was really worried about whether to buy it or not since I was not that into Tazake except for the special junmai, but I was curious about the bubbles, so I bought it. LOL!
I had a bad feeling when I opened the bottle... I closed it just in time to avoid an explosion! When I poured it, the bubbles were all different sizes, and I think it fizzes in a different way than the active nigori type I have had in the past.
The aroma is apple-pineapple, which I am not a big fan of. The dry mouthfeel from the bubbles gives way to a fuller umami flavor, which finishes with a brown sugar sweetness. I think it is easy to understand and delicious!
I am ashamed to say that if I drank it blind, I would probably answer that it is an active muddy. I think "Sasasamune no Natsu no Nigori" is close to it if I drank it recently.
