I finally opened a bottle I bought last year.
The impression is that the sake has become much stronger, perhaps because it has been left too long.
The softness of the sake is still present and the umami has a clear structure.
The texture is clear, with little bitterness, and the umami and bitterness are distinctive.
Freshly purchased nigori sake
Even without mixing nigori, the taste is fresh, robust, and full of flavor and sweetness.
The acidity and bitterness complement each other nicely, and the top clear sake is delicious on its own.
When nigori is mixed, the sweetness and umami become stronger, and a clean bitterness comes out.
Very delicious nigori sake!
Gorgeous melon-type aroma
Slightly bitter with a hint of effervescence
The taste is clean and free of any impurities, with a good umami.
As the temperature rises, it becomes sweet and fruity.
Fluffy sake quality
Aroma and sweetness are moderate, and the flavor is not sharp, but it is an easy-to-drink food sake.
19% is a little too much for this one.
The aroma of alcohol itself is subdued.
Woody aroma reminiscent of whiskey on the palate
The taste has a firm structure and is mellow, as if you are drinking a heated sake.
As it warms up, the sharpness decreases and it becomes easier to drink.
Very popular snowman
Repeat from last year
Atmospheric aroma reminiscent of pears
Tastes like white grape juice when not mixed with nigori
When mixed with the nigori, it tastes mellow and the acidity is more pronounced.
Less sweet and more crisp than last year's
Gorgeous aroma reminiscent of golden osmanthus
Characterized by mild sweetness, umami and acidity
Although acidity can be felt, it is not overpowering and easy to drink.
A slight bitterness finishes it off.
It goes well with soupy stews such as mizutaki and motsu nabe.
Surprisingly, it may also be served with gratin and stew.
Brilliant aroma
Tastes sharp when chilled.
The flavor is good.
As the temperature rises, the taste becomes sweet and full-bodied.
Characterized by a full-bodied flavor similar to that of Romain.
White grape-like aroma and freshness.
Although not mentioned in the name, it contains lees and is similar to ogara-mi.
The quality of the sake is fresh and mild, as if it were a new sake, and the flavor is full of umami.
It has an assertive, all-around taste that complements refreshing snacks and is not overpowered by the heavy flavors of autumn and winter.
A delicious sake that is easy to drink for all tastes.
New Sake from Oze Snowdrift
It is juicy with umami and sweetness.
Without ori, it has a slightly bitter and sharp taste.
When mixed with ori, the fresh melon aroma and juicy sweetness come to the fore.
Easy to drink but not cloying, a refreshing and delicious sake.
Sweet aroma somewhere between rice and fruit
When drunk without nigori, it has a refreshing flavor reminiscent of muscat and an impressive sweetness reminiscent of melon.
Slightly effervescent, with little acidity, but the bitterness tightens the taste.
When nigori is mixed, the sweetness becomes more pronounced.
Refreshing aroma
Aroma like green papaya when opened
When paired at low temperatures with light-flavored snacks, it has a dry, bitter, astringent taste.
When served at higher temperatures with strong-flavored snacks, the umami and a hint of sweetness stand out.
It seems to shine best at room temperature.
Fruity aroma like green banana
Slow and heavy mouthfeel, like biting into a blue fruit.
Wild taste, but the structure of flavor and sweetness is firm and refreshing.
Sweet aroma
Taste is as described, with a hint of pumpkin nectar.
It has a rich flavor and would be good for heavy meals in the fall and winter months.
