十六代九郎右衛門純米吟醸 ひとごごち 活性にごり生原酒
kiko
Kuroemon XVI of Kisomura, Nagano Prefecture, has become completely famous after winning the Champion Sake award last year. The brewery was founded in 1650 and is the second oldest in Nagano Prefecture.
Today we had a nigori sake, a.k.a. Snow Woman. I opened the bottle with trepidation, but there was no blowout. It is a dark nigori-zake with a moderate effervescence and a strong sweetness from the rice. It has a slight bitterness, but it is easy to drink and more than half of the bottle was gone in no time. It goes well with tomato hot pot.
