酒記「しゅき」
I've had snowballs a few times, but this is my first time drinking UA's snowballs. They have an assemblage that mixes 5 different types of rice. I haven't had a chance to compare the two, so I'm just going by past memories, but UA's seems fresher and gassier. The sweetness and bitterness of Snowball is stronger than UA, but UA is refreshing and dry, so it is easy to drink. The sweetness is moderate, and once you get used to drinking it this way, it may be better with a meal. I paired it with cured ham and cheese, and it is a very light drink that can be easily paired with any meal.

酒記「しゅき」
When I went back home, I found it for sale at a local roadside station. Local, after all, is great. It has a fresh sour smell like yogurt. The gas is strong right after opening the bottle, so the first sip has a sparkling wine-like feel. If you open the bottle slowly, the carbonation will settle down, but I can't wait. Once the gas settles down, you will feel a tingling and fizzy sensation in your mouth. The taste is refreshing and fresh. Unlike doburoku, it is strained so it has a mild, milky taste. I think it was thicker last year. This year, I think it is more silky and fine-grained. You can directly feel the umami of the rice. It is a refreshing and voluminous sake. It may go well with miso stew and cheese. I felt it also goes well with spicy food. It gives an image of refreshing dishes like curry and lassi.

酒記「しゅき」
The muscat flavor is felt first. Lychee follows thinly next. Arabashiri, the first sake from the new pressing. When chilled, the smell is light, but the taste is strong. The alcohol content is high at 18%, so when drinking it fresh out of the refrigerator, one can enjoy the change from spiciness to sweetness. As the temperature cools down, the alcohol volatilizes and the muscat aroma blooms. The taste is rounded and the sweetness stands out and the spiciness becomes less noticeable. Although it is a draft sake, there is almost no sense of gasiness. You can directly taste the freshness of the sake. It is best served with white-meat sashimi, shellfish, and other light dishes. It goes well with cold dishes. It is not a good match with fried or fatty foods, as the taste of the sake comes through while the oil remains on the palate. It is a dry sake, so it goes well with simmered fish, but since it is a raw sake, it goes well with lightly simmered fish, not sweet and spicy ones. ⭐︎Alcohol 18 ⭐︎Polishing ratio 65

Fine muscat, lush lychee-like flavor. Low alcohol content. Very light on the palate. Slight acidity and soft sweetness. Elegant. Beautiful. Intelligent. Such words suit it. A delicate sake that cleanses the heart. It is like a drop of fruit juice extract in spring water. Peach cappellini. Meuniere of white fish. It would be delicious with a meal with white wine. It is so delicate that if the flavor of the meal is too strong, it will be defeated. ⭐︎ Alcohol 13 ⭐︎Polishing ratio 45

A fizzy sensation that tingles and irritates the tongue. A concentration that leaves a foamy sensation in your throat as you drink. Refreshing, reminiscent of the ocean on a sunny winter morning. It smells like juicy pears and has a voluminous, mineral taste. The fresh taste and bitterness make this sake very easy to drink. It finishes with a refreshing aftertaste that leaves no aftertaste, making it refreshing to drink. It is delicious with fresh fish, shellfish, and salads. ⭐︎ Alcohol percentage 16 ⭐︎Polishing ratio 65
