2025.3rd.
We had it again this year, Hirotogawa nigori, one of the three major nigori.
It was superb again this year.
It is a sweet nigori sake, but the freshness combined with a slight effervescence gives it a beautiful sweetness, a carefully crafted sweetness that is very easy to drink.
It also has a creaminess typical of nigorizake that is very impressive lol.
Even though it is nigorizake junmai, the sweetness spreads quickly in the mouth, making it feel like a junmai daiginjo.
The three major nigori are still alive and well.
However, I can get the Snow Doll and Hirotogawa nigori, but I just can't get the last one, the Jikin nigori.
Can someone please give me some?
I love sake so much, I get several bottles a year, and I use the liquor store so much, I can't help but wonder why I can't get it.
I'm just waiting for a chance to get it just like Shinmasa and Jyushiyo.
