The last of our three sake tasting comparisons from Kyoto's Sake-Taker Nissigawa is Snow Crescent from Koei-Kiku Sake Brewery in Ogi City, Saga Prefecture.
Koei-Kiku is an up-and-coming sake brewery that will be launching in 2019.
Snow Crescent is a freshly brewed, lightly cloudy, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake brewed with 100% Yamadanishiki (60% rice polishing ratio, although not stated on the label).
This is the first time I have had it.
As the name suggests, the lightly cloudy appearance, which is reminiscent of a snow-covered sky, is reflected in the crescent moon on the label.
The aroma is of green apple-like ginjo aroma with a firm koji aroma.
I personally love the weakly active light turbidity, which starts to gently sizzle from the moment it is poured.
The taste starts with the sourness of the koji and the sizzling sensation, and within that sourness there is also sweetness, making it dry but juicy.
As it rolls around in the mouth, the acidity and sweetness mix and harmonize, and the umami also comes out, giving it a mellower impression.
The stimulation of the sizzling sensation is pleasantly combined with the acidity, and you can immerse yourself in a happy sensation.
To put it mildly, this is my favorite type.
Some people compare it to grapefruit juice, and it's easy to drink, dry and juicy with a strong acidity!
Thanks for the treat!
