The last bottle of the day was a UA Snowman.
It was supposed to be skipped this year, but they made a big change in the assemblage and decided to base it on Grand Natural, so I rushed to buy it!
The carbonation was pretty strong, took about a minute to open the bottle.
The aroma is relatively mild, but there is a milky sweetness and slight lactic acidity that seems to be typical of Senkou's nigori sake lately!
The mouthfeel is strongly carbonated.
After the carbonation, it becomes silky and mellow.
The taste is clear for a nigori sake with moderate sweetness.
The acidity is only carbonation and a thin lactic acidity, but the balance with the sweetness is just right, refreshing and easy to drink.
Delicious!
Compared to the previous UA Snowball, the acidity has been reduced and the milky sweetness that is characteristic of snowballs is more apparent.
It's definitely a very tasty sake, but I wonder if the next one will be different since the Grand Natural is sort of a limited edition this year.
