UA snowball finally opened the bottle. It's the first nigori sake in a while.
As expected of Snowball, there are two choices: good or very good, but this time it is very good. The regular Yukidaruma is mainly Kame-no-o, but this one is mainly Yamada-Nishiki, and since it is an assemblage, the flavors are well integrated. The silky and gorgeous flavor spreads in the mouth.
The difference between this and UA Snake is that UA Snake is 100% Yamadanishiki and not an assemblage.
It is sweeter than UA Snake, but has a more cohesive flavor.
It is a stable taste. Thank you very much.
