Kumakichi
For the 20th bottle of Nigori Sake Relay, we opened a bottle of Senkou Organic Naturals 2022ZERO: nigori.
The rice is polished to 90%, and the cloudy white ori, which contains rice grains beyond the ori collected at the bottom of the bottle, is more reminiscent of dobroku than nigori sake.
As is customary with nigorizake, when you drink it from the top clearing, you get a sweet aroma with a hint of lactic acidity, and when you take a sip, you get a refreshing grapefruit citrus acidity with a light piquancy, followed by a sharp finish.
The taste changes when you mix in the rice oli...
The sourness of the rice is accompanied by the rich flavor of the rice, which spreads out and leaves a sticky texture on the tongue, just like dobrok. It was a bottle where you could really enjoy the taste of the rice!
Alcohol content: 13 degrees (unpasteurized)
Rice polishing ratio: 90% (Domaine Sakura, organically grown Kame no o)

Kumakichi-san, I drank this the other day, it had more ori than I expected, and in the end, only the ori turned into sake, and it turned into doburoku sake, last year it was a little thinner than that, I vaguely remember 😅 20 bottles great❗️

Mr. Harry Sakeboy
It was more doburoku than nigori sake!
I didn't drink it last year and don't know, but it was a very drinkable bottle. I love nigori sake and dobu, so I drink too much...

Kumakichi, the owner of the liquor store said that nigori is filtered through a coarse mesh, doburoku is scooped up with a zabun. I thought, this must be doburoku 😅.

Harry Sakeboy, the top clear was indeed clear, but the oli that collected there still had the shape of rice.....................this could be good!
