Kab
Popular nigori, and with the image of a dry brand, set your sights on it.
It is soft and smooth. When you drink it, you can smell the melon aroma, not all at once, but softly, and even after drinking it, there is a thin melon-like sweetness. There is a slight bitterness, but both the sweetness and bitterness seem to slowly fade away. It is good with fish, vegetables, and light mozzarella cheese. The bitterness takes care of it. Contrary to the image of the brewery, there is almost no spiciness. I guess Kirizukuba and Urasato are different brands.
On the second day, we warmed it up at 40°C. It was quite sour and melon-like. At 40℃, the melon-like nuance fades and turns orangey, the rice-like umami comes out a little, and the bitterness or spiciness gives it a sharp edge. 45℃, the bitterness is a little too much. When cooled, the sourness almost disappears and the melon is restored. It is best when cooled and heated.
It is a very versatile nigori that is also good during meals. There is no sense of alcohol, and it is hard to believe that the alcohol content is 15%. The lack of negative elements is quintessential.
