Tonight, I opened a bottle of Ergai. As I was once told at a liquor store, Senbon-Nishiki has a faint strawberry taste. It is super spicy. It works well for an empty stomach.
It is fire-returned. It is not available in the store, and you can only buy one bottle a month if you bring your receipt. It is a brand that I really like, so I appreciate it.
The aroma was good, and I thought it would be the same as usual, but then I took a sip and found it to be very spicy. It is indeed an extra product of PLA22. It makes me want to have a guess.
Ergoma for the first time in a long time. My first unfiltered draft. Today is not a special anniversary, but it is a special brand for me, so I will savor it slowly.
First time to get it. This is a certain tradition at liquor stores, where there is a mountain of pre-ordered bottles in the store at the end of the year. It is probably rare to be able to share this bottle with an individual. I can only thank the owner. Sukkiri Light Niigata.
The label states that nigori sake is sake with bacteria and enzymes active in the bottle. The first day the bottle is opened, it is served with the top clear liquid. On the second day, it is lightly turned and served nigori-style. The nigori gives it a mellow taste.
I have been fortunate enough to enjoy it on the road. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized. The sourness like plum wine keeps me from getting tired of drinking it.
New Sake Series. The first impression is that it is a dark sweet sake. It is not very strong, but the sake's umami and the spiciness of the aftertaste reset the taste, so you can enjoy it one after the other. You can see some ori at the bottom of the bottle.
