Mai-bijin Junmai Nigori Summer
Yes, this is Mai-bijin's summer sake.
We waited for a year and finally got it.
It is a very peculiar sake.
We will drink it cold.
I thought I should be careful to open the bottle because it was cloudy, but there was no gassiness at all.
The color is a light nigori, so it is slightly yellowish white.
The top aroma is somewhat grapefruity, lactic acid bacteria-like, and rice bran aroma.
The mouthfeel is silky without much impact.
Gradually, a punchy sweet and sour sourness and sweetness spreads in the mouth.
The sweetness, however, is too sour to be understood...
The aroma that passes through the nose also has a little bit of rice bran.
The aftertaste leaves a citric acid-like sour lump on the tongue.
According to the internet, the acidity is 3.8 and the amino acidity is about 2.3.
Anyway, the aftertaste is very peculiar.
But it is surprisingly drinkable.
