Satisfaction level ★★★☆☆☆☆
I was so shocked by Kawanakajima Genmai that I bought a bottle of nigori at Yamazakiya in Eifukucho.
About 70% of the bottle seems to be koji. The bottle was shaken well before opening, but it didn't overflow.
As soon as I opened the bottle, I could smell the amazake aroma. When I poured it in, I found a thick liquid. It looked just like amazake.
The amazake aroma was felt in the mouth, and after the amazake-like texture and sweetness, it was followed by a moderate aftertaste that was very sharp. I don't sense any ginjo aroma like the so-called Fruits Nagai.
Of course, there is enough sweetness that is not sugar like amazake, but the aftertaste is strangely refreshing. The aroma of Genmai lingers at the end.
As a food sake, it tastes a little bitter.
If you do not evaluate it in the category of sake, but as nigori sake, it is wonderfully delicious.
The alcohol content is higher than the impression of 15 degrees, so it will make you drunk if you drink it vigorously.
