Hori
This is one that I had been looking forward to having tucked away in the back of the fridge.
I was going to let it sit for a while longer, but then the traffic jam of sake I wanted to drink started, so I opened the bottle.
This is the second nigori I have had after Sengoku Yukidaruma. Even though they are the same nigori, the impression I got from drinking them was different. Compared to Snowball, which has a similar lactic acidity but is sweet and fruity, Miyazumi is less sweet and has a nice bitterness, and has a refreshing taste with elements of classic sake. We enjoyed it with yakitori (grilled chicken) and bonito tataki, and were left with the impression that it is also suitable as a food sake, as it does not leave a lingering sweetness.
I would like to repeat this bottle next year.
