Compared to the regular Koei Kiku, this sake had a natural effervescence unique to unfiltered nama sake, and the unique acidity was suppressed, making the sweetness stand out in this cup!
Last year, I couldn't drink it because I missed the timing...
This year, thanks to the fact that I was always watching for its release, I was able to purchase it!
This year's Snowball has less sweetness than in previous years, and instead, it has a tangy bitterness.
It has a grapefruit-like bitterness and tartness that reminds one of the arrival of winter!
It has a hint of fruity flavor, but because it is a junmai daiginjo, it comes in easily.
It has been a long time since I have had such a refreshing taste without any peculiarities.
It is the best cup of sake I have ever had!
Slightly effervescent, fresh first attack!
Then comes the grapefruit-like acidity and bitterness!
It's been a while since I had a hiyaoroshi, but this freshness makes it an irresistible drink!
Mouthfeel is refreshing.
A hint of melon flavor.
However, at the end, you can feel the richness unique to Omachi, and this is a cup that can be enjoyed in many ways!
I like the richness of Omachi, but the unique sweetness of the rice is brought out while keeping that richness in check.
A perfectly balanced cup so that one does not get tired of drinking it!
Slightly effervescent and clear melon flavor!
The alcohol content is quite high even though it is unfiltered and watered down, so you can feel the various stories behind this bottle!
One of my favorites!
I'm not sure if the richness has become a bit more subdued in the last few years, or if I've gotten used to it and the impact of the first time I had it has faded...it bothers me, but it's still a great drink!
Japan domination series
Quintessential strong!
You can feel the sweetness of the rice on the palate.
The palate is full of the sweetness of the rice, followed by the alcohol!
A drink at the corner
The aroma is like melon
The mouthfeel is like a cream soda.
It also has a slight effervescence and is refreshing!
17% alcohol by volume... a dangerous drink!
