I launched a new series the other day, but there are still some seasonal sakes coming up that I need to drink while they are still tasty, so I'll start with a sake that is not a "Tsuki" sake this time 🍶.
Snow Kirara Ara Shibori is brewed by a small sake brewery in Imajo, an old inn town deep in the snow in Fukui.
The other day, Kazuhiko Ota was on a TV show and said that he drank only the top clear part of muddy sake, so I practiced it myself!
The top clear part has a fresh sweet umami taste, followed by a clean, crisp, sweet aftertaste.
This is a taste that makes you feel a little immoral ✨.
Nigori-shu: The sense of alcohol increases at once, the umami is strong, and the sweetness is felt afterwards and it finishes.
The strength of the sake is reconfirmed after drinking the supernatant 👀.
When you get used to drinking it with a meal, you can easily drink it with the sweetness and deliciousness that gives the image of the supernatant without feeling the alcohol content of 18° ((😖)).
By the way, it is a tradition to drink this at New Year's in my family, and I have good memories of emptying a bottle with my father on New Year's morning alone 🎵.

Hi Gyve 😃
I like the contrast between the beautiful supernatant in the third photo and the nigori in the fourth one 🤗I can tell that the flavors must be very different 😊 It's amazing that two people can empty one square 😳.

Good evening!!!
Looks delicious 😁.
My mom is from Imajo and we used to go there when I was a kid 😁.
The soy sauce from Imajo looks delicious, I didn't know about the sake brewery 😰.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
It's the first time I drank it with the top-fermentation, but it seems to have a stronger fresh sweetness of the raw sake ✨In fact, I opened a bottle each day and night, 3 bottles in total on New Year's Day ((😖)), I drank more than I have in my life✨.

Good evening, Ao-chan!
I see Imajo is your roots 👀There are about 4 or 5 breweries still making sake along with miso, soy sauce and processed ume products 🍶If you see one, please give it a try 😄.

Good evening, Mr. Noodle Sake King 🌖.
I feel like there are some big sake breweries that represent Fukui like Kuroryu, Bon, Echizenmisaki, etc., but there are many small sake breweries left in Fukui that are consumed mostly locally like here 😄.
