This is Nabeshima Special Honjozo Pink Label from Tomikuchiyo Shuzo in Saga Prefecture (Kashima City)!
I love Nabeshima, but this is the first time I have had a honjozo with brewing alcohol added.
It is a special honjozo with a rice polishing ratio of 60%.
The appearance is crystal with a slight lemon yellow tint.
The aroma is sweet and fruity, as is typical of Nabeshima, but the brewing alcohol gives it a cool, refreshing feeling that is very nice!
On the palate, there is an attack of light acidic stimulation with a slight schwarziness!
From there, the acidity and fruity sweetness spread in harmony with the umami and richness, and I instantly understood that this was delicious! I instantly understood.
Moreover, the aftertaste has a sharp alcohol taste as if it were a special honjozo!
When I rolled it around on my tongue, I could feel the refreshingly stimulating acidity from the shuwa sensation, the juicy sweetness and umami mellowing out, and the bitter taste coming out at the end of the finish.
It has a deeply fruity flavor, and it is the Nabeshima of peace of mind and trust.
To put it mildly, it is delicious.
It is the kind of Nabeshima that you would want to have on hand for everyday drinking.
It was the best. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
