Comparison of nigori sake from Wakayama's favorite brands (1)
We compared nigori sake from two of our favorite brands, Minakata and Chokyu.
First, let's start with Minakata 😄.
The first one has a fresh and fruity aroma like apples and a strong fizzy feeling. It has a full, sweet flavor and a crisp, refreshing taste, and is just as delicious as one would imagine 😍.
It's been quite a while since I've had Nanpo, but I don't remember it ever being out of place and I think it's a good brand with a high level of quality 😁.

The first Minakata I've had in probably 3 years, given to me in a 300ml bottle ☺️The 4-pack bottle has a picture of Minakata Kumagusu and the brand story on it, but with 300ml there's no room for that... 😅.
It has a thin banana 🍌 aroma with a slight tang of alcohol behind it.
After a slightly sweet attack, the aftertaste is a good mix of bitterness, sourness and spiciness. The aftertaste of bitterness lasts quite long. It will go well with both meat and fish without any conflict.
The quality of the sake is similar to Kido's Junmai Ginjo.
Is it because it is a sake from Wakayama Prefecture?

Grading☆☆☆
Sake from Wakayama
A faint scent of ginjo, just the right amount of rice flavor, and a touch of bitterness and sharpness. The bitterness and sharpness.
But I don't feel any major characteristics in this one 😅.
It's a dry taste for a mid-meal drink. It's a bit lacking in a single product.
