Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture. Suwa Mikotsuru Brewery.
Mikotsuru Junmai Ginjo Activated Nigori Namaeshiki
I went to a new liquor store in the Kansai region that had started carrying this sake, and found an active nigori that I had missed out on.
It was bottled in 2024.04 and was released in October 2024.10.
I drank it cold.
When the bottle was opened, there was a strong gas sound and fine bubbles came up to the surface of the water. The bottle was opened after about 3 minutes of opening and closing the screw cap.
The first aroma is a slight hint of koji malt.
The color is a cloudy white nigorizake.
The mouthfeel is silky and foamy, which stimulates the tongue and throat when swallowing.
The taste has a fizzy, fruity sweetness, a dry umami and rice flavor, and a lactic acidity that is addictive.
The active nigori has an interesting taste that is slightly different from other Mikotsuru.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic)
Ingredient rice: 100% Yamae-Nishiki
Polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 15

Hi Nemuchi 😀
I've been wanting to drink nigori for a long time and seeing Nemuchi's made me in the mood to open a bottle of this sake today too😇!
I wonder if the new store that handles it is the same store where you bought it ❓ 😀 😀.

Good evening, Yasubeyesan 🌛Yes 💡I bought it at the same store as expected, a liquor store that carries the precious Nagano sake 😁I had missed drinking the active nigori, so I was surprised to find it at this time of year and bought it immediately 😊.
