I've almost never had a standard local sake from Niigata. This is my first time to drink it properly. Is it still light and dry?
When I poured it into a tin cup with little aroma, I was surprised to find a gorgeous aroma. I was surprised that it has an aroma, but since it is a capsule type and the aroma is quite strong, my brain is confused at this point. I thought it was yeast No. 18.
Then, when I sipped it, I was even more confused by its strong flavor! If you think about it, it is 17.5 degrees Celsius, so it is not just a gorgeous aroma as the specs say. It is full-bodied and quite mellow.
I checked it out and it recommends drinking it on the rocks or in the freezer, chilled to the point where it doesn't freeze. It is indeed delicious at this level!
Right after opening it, it is as good as premium sake. It is interesting how it becomes a completely different sake after that. I might want to drink it if it were directly pumped... After the change, it became an interesting sake with a rich dry taste. Personally, I think it is good to drink it with added water. On the third day, it becomes gorgeous again...all the flavors are delicious!
I was very impressed with this bottle, coupled with the easy-to-understand instructions on how to drink it!
