First nigori sake
I wanted to try nigori sake for the first time, so I bought some at a local supermarket.
It looks like it's made from rice polished to perfection. It looks good for the skin!
The taste is... well, it's hard to compare since it's my first nigori sake and first Shirakawa-go brand, but it's different from what I was expecting.
In my own image, it tasted more gaseous and gassy, like Smack... I had this fantasy about it.
It's not at all what I imagined😅.
Sweet and dry (what is that?) or sweet sake without sweetness? I don't know what to call it.
Anyway, it was different from my fantasy, so I honestly didn't understand the first nigori... 💧.
I'm going to try it again today with a fresh mind!
I've heard that it's good heated up, and that it's also good with carbonated water.
I'm sure my feelings may change as I drink two or three cups.
