Niigata Prefecture. Shinobata City. Kikusui Sake Brewery Co.
Kikusui Honjozo GI NIGATA
I received a set of seven one-bottle bottles, so I drank them.
Here is the fourth bottle.
It is served cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The initial aroma is mainly alkaloa, but it has an unusual perfume-like aroma. (I don't have the vocabulary to describe it...)
The mouthfeel is mild and smooth.
It has a well-defined taste, but it is also very umami, with a sweet taste and a strong umami flavor.
After swallowing, the aroma in the nose is nutty, and while the umami spreads, it is also slightly spicy and crisp.
It doesn't have the gusto of a Funakuchi, but it is just right, and even when served with alcohol, it is delicious enough.
I had it after a bottle of Ebisu Beer with an illustration of a beautiful woman by Hirohiko Araki 🤩.
