Masaaki Sapporo
8.5 points (wife: 9 points)
Rice : Koji, Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio : 60
Alcohol content : 15.5
Purchased at Sakuramoto Shoten Maruyama Store (Chuo-ku, Sapporo)
When opening the bottle, it is sipped about 20 times (about 5 minutes).
It has a strong gaseous taste.
Slightly melon and grapefruit-like top notes
The same fruity aroma, moderate sweetness and mild rice flavor as at the top, along with a strong sense of gas, citrus acidity, and assertive bitterness, spreads with a pizzazz, and finishes quickly while leaving a lingering bitterness.
It is rather floral and silky with a hint of nigori, but the sweetness is moderate, and the strong gassiness and firm bitterness give it a particularly dry impression in the latter half of the bottle. It goes well with food and is refreshingly delicious on its own.
On the second day, the gaseous sensation subsides, but the bitterness still bothers me.
It went well with homemade Bolognese pasta and bread.
I have good memories of going to the store several times during the sales period, and when I entered the store, a familiar waiter told me the last bottle of the day was left and looked out for me.
I was so happy, I took a preview of it right there in front of the store.

Mr. WOM. Hi there, I'm a new member of the group and I'm looking forward to meeting you again! I went several times during the period, estimating the time appropriately 🏃I've been frequenting various liquor stores in the city for the past year or so, so I'm getting familiar with a good number of them 😁.

Good evening, Masaaki Sapporo🌇.
It was worth the trip. ❗️
I've never had the only one of the three major nigoris that are commonly referred to as "nigori"...
I really envy you. ‼️

Good evening, Haruei Chichi! I was lucky enough to get it, but personally I think I prefer Hirotogawa because of the bitterness 😅 Hirotogawa is also sitting in my fridge, so I will compare them again 🍶.
