＜Sour, sweet, ponk! A fun, sweet, nigorizake.
This is a very popular nigorizake, Senkou's Snowman. I think you could say it's the most popular nigorizake of this time of year.
I was able to drink the last of it just before it ran out. But it's hard to read the words on the back of this bottle when it's not filled.
The color is a beautiful white with plenty of lees.
The aroma is of lactic acid sweet sake alcohol. There's no doubt about it.
The mouthfeel is sour-sweet-ponk! YUMMY!!!!
It has a refreshing sourness from the lactic acid and a rich sweetness from the rice. I can feel the sweetness more clearly than I remember drinking it before. Then, from the back, there is a pleasant bitter taste. It flies away as an aroma, and the acidity cuts through the aftertaste nicely. An enjoyable sweet nigorizake!
If you compare it to Ghibli, it's like the Totoro snowman in the ending of "My Neighbor Totoro". You can feel how much fun it must have been to make it. The expression on Totoro's face when he sees it is also interesting.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆
I'll post the full version on the blog, complete with character images and such. If you'd like, you can search for "korune sake" or come from the link in my profile section.
