This is a light nigori (nigori is a light cloudy rice wine) of Aizu Nakasyo, a standard product of the Tsurunoe Shuzo brewery in Aizu, in spring. (Manufactured in March 2023)
I have never been a big fan of nigori sake, but the Aizu Nakasyo suited my palate very well, so I decided to try the nigori.
As a result, I was surprised at how delicious it was! There is not much aroma, but as soon as you put it in your mouth, you feel a faint carbonation on your tongue... and the rich sweetness of the rice becomes a delicious flavor. It's not so much a floral flavor, it's just a sweetness that really swells up! In audio terms, it's the mid-range! This sake is like having a juicy dessert. You can smell the aroma of ripe strawberries in the glass after drinking. Tsurunoe Sake Brewery, all their sake are really delicious.
