On Saturday 12/2, a soccer & sake drinking friend of mine who lives nearby said, "Can you come out now?" and he gave me a bottle of sake from Seto Sake Brewery in Kaisei-cho, Kanagawa Prefecture 😍(4th photo).
He said he gets it every year as a year-end gift so I'll give it to you 😍.
Thank goodness 🙏 for sake friends 🤣.
The nigori sake cycle will continue for a while...
This time
2023-2024 nigori (3)
Shigemasu Junmai Daiginjo Nigori Namaizu
100% Yume-Ichiken used
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 17%.
Sake meter -2 to -1 Acidity 1.4 (reference)
After opening the bottle, the aroma is of green apples.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel a slight sweetness spreading in your mouth, but then the spiciness will come rushing in👊.
I've read a lot of reviews about it being sweet and fruity, and the sake level indicates that the sweetness is dominant 💦.
But to me, the spiciness is very strong.
The aftertaste is also dry...
I was expecting the nigori's characteristic umami sweetness, so I was a little disappointed 😁.
But hey, it's a good thing too 👌
No gasiness or slight bubbles.
Funny thing about sake 😁.
Delicious!

Good evening, Mr. Kozo🌙
When I see a label that looks classic, I avoid it because I think it might be hard to drink, but this one looks delicious ❣️ I have to stop judging by its appearance 😅.
I'm very happy to get some alcohol 😆💕.

Hi Kozo 😃
We like Nigori that is not that sweet and I've never had Shigemasu so I'd like to taste it 🤗.
I'd like to try it 🤔.

Koizo - same here 🐴.
I too expect nigori sake to be sweet and tasty 🙄The cork gives off a gassy vibe, but it wasn't 😅Well, as long as it's tasty, I guess 🙂.

Good evening...
I was attracted by the classical label and the fact that it's from Fukuoka 😁I think it's a good idea to judge by its appearance👍
It's nice to get a sake in a category I don't usually drink 😍.

Good evening.
I was surprised because the flavor was different from what I expected although the aroma was sweet 😁 but my preconception was not good because it is not sweet just because it is nigori sake 💦 It is delicious 💦 Please try it!

Good evening.
I'm not a fan of sweet sake either, so I found the Shigemasu sake to be delicious 🤩It was different from the introduction of this sake and your repo, so I think it's interesting that you feel differently about it 😁.

Same time, Mr. Shieri.
Good evening.
I have a strong image of the sweet flavor of nigori sake, so it was different from that. It was delicious though...it's just a shame there was almost no gas 💦.

I wondered if the bottle stopper has a gas vent so I could feel the gas 😁.
