あすみん
4.3★★★★☆
All Nagano sake is delicious, but this one is much higher up the list. It's an active nigori. I was worried that it might lose its flavor after being stored for so long because I couldn't drink it during my pregnancy, but when I opened the package, it started to become active and remained so healthy that the mash came up to the top and almost spurted out. I was relieved to find that it had been stored in good condition. The quality was probably the same as when I bought it.
The taste is elegant and sweet like nigori sake, but with a hint of Nagano's sake flavor. Tonight I'm drinking it with cheese, but it also goes well with Western-style snacks. However, since it is a strong draft sake, it is not necessarily a bad match, but it goes better with strong flavored dishes. It is so mellow that if the snacks are light, the taste of this sake will be overpowered.
