Nisekoきたしずく 紫ラベル 辛口特別純米酒
KabNiseko is increasing the number of distributors in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the June shipment will probably be the 2022BY.
It's too cold to drink, so I'll start with heated sake.
45℃. It has a slightly classical aroma with a graininess.
When you drink it, the first thing you notice is a grain-like umami like baked potatoes, then it turns spicy and sharp.
At 50°C, the umami becomes a little more syrupy, but 45°C is probably better.
When it is cooled, it becomes a little more refreshing and the umami becomes more rice-like.
Cold sake and room temperature are the same as heated sake. The rice flavor changes to a spiciness that is sharp and sharp.
At low temperature, it is dry and refreshing with rice flavor, and when heated, it has a different grain-like umami that makes you feel relaxed, but it is still sharp. Both of them turn into spiciness, and it is a good flow. A versatile all-around food sake that can be picked up with confidence.
It is quite classic, but there may be nothing else like it.
It is a bit like the dry junmai from the north and south-east, but in a better sense, it is more simple than that.
