Miyazumi has an image of being a gutsy or richly flavored sake. I was very curious to see how the nigori sake, which was to be released at the end of the year, would taste like, so I always kept an eye on its release!
Surprisingly alcoholic aroma. It has a freshness that is typical of new sake, but also a bitterness that is also typical of new sake. It is also delicious.
It is sweet on the first day, but only slightly sweet and very moderate. The nigori (nigori is the Japanese word for "cloudy") component amplifies the umami, but it is not "overdone," which I believe is a characteristic and feature of this sake. The best "moderation" in the Kurakuraku Miyazumi I have ever had.
On the fourth day, the rice flavor was very rich and delicious!
The overall sensation is mellow, yet refreshing and easy to drink. It seems much clearer and easier to drink than the year-round Miyazumi.
Personally, it was the easiest of all the Kakuraku Miyazumi sakes I started drinking after the summer.
It also goes well with Japanese food, if anything, I was surprised that it goes well with curry!
