It has a clarity that one would not expect from an 80% polished sake, and a crisp, refreshing sharpness accompanied by acidity, making it a refreshing drink in the hot summer.
The gasiness was diluted due to the days since the bottle was opened, but there was a good balance of melon and muscat-like sweetness, nigori graininess, and acidity.
I can imagine it would have tasted even better on the palate.
The first Choyo Fukumusume Aru Soze is a PB from Hosono Shoten.
It has a refreshing taste, but the heaviness of the 17% draft comes later. There is no sense of alcohol, and it is very drinkable for an alky sake.
When chilled, it has an impressive sharpness with a clear and moderate acidity. As the temperature rises, the soft umami increases and the acidity and sharpness become gentler, giving the impression of being slightly blurred. Good as a food sake.
Mitsui's PB made at Ginjo Kobo.
The rice polishing ratio is unknown, but the taste is very clean. It has a strawberry-like fruity flavor that quickly disappears.
The first Shinkame active nigori I drank was a mouthful. It has a strong nigori rice flavor, but the low alcohol content makes it refreshing to drink.
I think it is probably the most tasty type of nigori when opened at the mouth.
