Towashi no Winter Nigori ☃️ Mix well with orikori to make a light nigori and serve cold or chilled 🍶. The appearance is mist white like the mist of the Kamo River on a winter morning, with fine streams of tailings visible. The aroma is mildly sweet and refreshing. The aroma is a selfeil with sweet notes of pear, melon, banana, and a refreshing volatile aroma. The rice aroma is freshly pounded rice cake with nuances of koji acidity. Smooth and silky on the tongue with silky tailings. The soft sweetness is subdued due to the involvement of the tailings, and the gentle acidity, including pleasant stimulation, spreads softly with a firm umami. The umami of the rice can be felt in the fluffy flavor, with a slight bitter edge, but it also fades away with a whiff. The finish is crisp, with a moderate lingering aftertaste accompanied by a modest scent of returning tailings. There is no impact or surprise on the palate, but after a few sips, you will nod your head and raise the corners of your mouth in delight. Delicious. Gentle yet firm. It is not the type of sake that will erase your presence even during a meal, but rather the type that will accompany and enhance each other. It went well not only with scallop sashimi, but also with takoyaki and gyoza. My wife seemed to like Towashi as well and told me not to drink only gorgeous fruity sweet and tasty sake 😅. I think I'll buy some clear sake of Juishi next time 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin 😀 You are doing well with your nigorinpic😇. I heard that your wife also liked Towestone's nigori, so I am looking forward to drinking it too😇.

コタロー
Good evening, Aladdin! I was very interested in this one! I will refer to your review 🙏✨ I'm always on the lookout for active nigori this time of year, but a gentle nigori is also nice and wintery: ☺️

Good morning, Yasbay 😃. I'm simply a nigori sake lover as I'm not hosting the nigorinpic this year 😁. Especially at this time of year when I often drink gassy sake, the mild winter nigori was kind of sinking in: ☺️

Good morning, Kotaro 😃. I heated it up, but my preference was cold (room temperature range)! It really is as you say, the gentle nigori at this time of year is also intoxicating ☺️ It was the kind of sake I'd like to drink slowly while sitting under the kotatsu and warming up 🍶.

Hi Aladdin! I was looking for "Jyuseki" nigori in Kyoto, but couldn't find it 💦. Instead, I bought a bottle of "Amami" nigori that I opened the other day 😁.

Hi Aladdin 🐦. I'm surprised at how easy it seems to drink and how broadly it goes with meals from sashimi to takoyaki 😳. I like fruity sweet and tasty, but sometimes I think to myself that I need to drink a different type. I think I need to drink a different type 😅.

Good morning, Gyve 😃. It's a shame because the shipment was sold out immediately at the brewery and some stores seemed to sell out pretty fast 😢 maybe next year they will increase production 🤔. I haven't had the Yukiten, but it looked delicious paired with yellowtail 🤤.

Good morning, Pon-chan 😃. I tend to go for the sweet and savory, but this time I could recognize the goodness of this kind of gentle and mature nigori. It's really a shame if you don't broaden your palate by drinking sake other than your own once in a while 😅.
