Yuki no Bijin Activated Nigori
Akita's next5 Yuki no Bijin Activated Nigori Sake
When my daughter was in Akita, I always bought Yuki no Bijin and Isshaku Suisei whenever I went to see her.
I was super lucky to find a store where I could buy them in Ibaraki!
This winter I'm drinking only nigori sake. It's so delicious. This Yuki no Bijin is an active nigori, which means it is fermenting in the bottle, so it is very hard to open. Even if you open it slowly, it seems to blow out.
When you pour it into a glass, there is almost no aroma. In the mouth, unlike other active nigoris, there is almost no sweetness. The carbonation and alcohol taste is quite strong.
It was quite dry for a muddy sake. If it is kept in the refrigerator for about two days, the carbonation is removed and the sweetness increases tremendously. Even though there is more amami, there is still quite a bit of alcohol.
As a cloudy sake, it may be similar to Senkou's Yukidaruma. But it's pretty dry with just a strong carbonated can, so it doesn't have the crappy feeling of Senkou.
But it's a good alternative to beer at the start of a meal.
