Hori
The first Urasato is a usunigori that I missed out on last year.
When I went to the liquor store because I heard it was delicious, there were only one bottle left, and I gave up on it in tears.
The bottle is a Bordeaux-shaped bottle, which is rare for sake, and the large label is distinctive.
When I twisted the screw cap, gas was blown out. Although the screw cap means you don't have to worry about the cap blowing off, it is sad that you don't get to experience that little bit of tension.
When poured into a glass, it is slightly effervescent and fine bubbles appear in the liquor. The taste is sweet and sour, like a white lactic acid beverage. If I were to use an analogy, it has the nuance of Calpis soda, helped by a certain gaseous sensation. Although there is a graininess that is unique to nigori sake, it is not heavy, and the overall impression is light and refreshing.
I have had many nigori sake, and I like this Urasato very much.
I have already purchased the 2nd lot which was also released last year. I am looking forward to comparing the two to see what kind of difference there is between the two.
