SAMURAIZ
This is the sake for New Year's Day.
It is a nigori sake of "Kaiun.
I opened the bottle with some trepidation at the warning on the back label.
Hmmm? It is quiet. The lees didn't move at all.
With a single up-and-down swirl, it began to move.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas and the sweetness is subdued. It has a thick rice flavor and acidity that is typical of nigori sake. It has a solid alcohol content of 17 degrees Celsius, so it is the perfect match for the darkly seasoned Osechi dishes.
I am "thankful" to have a peaceful New Year's night this year.
