I couldn't get this icebreaker in Kyoto due to timing issues. I had heard that it tastes great on its own or heated up, but here I went with it on the rocks as usual (it was hot, after all!). Even though I am not a strong drinker, I couldn't stop myself from drinking it in gulps.
I purchased this app during a long drive from Shimanami Kaido to Dogo Onsen on a Saturday, a little off the May holiday weekend. Sake-no-wa, I really appreciate this app when purchasing local sake on vacation!
It is refreshing but also has a strong sake flavor.
I chilled it well and was able to open the bottle easily. It has a strong and characteristic sour taste, which I think some people like and dislike. I am a shallow roast coffee drinker and welcome acidity.
I wanted to drink as much of my favorite active type nigori sake as possible before spring. It was very easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity.
I was too lazy to open the bottle of activated nigorizake in time to start the hot pot. It is very tasty, with an elegant sweetness and tingling acidity.
I bought this sake at Kusatsu Onsen, a trip I took a month ago. The balance of neatness and umami! Aha❗️I want to go to Kusatsu Onsen again! But it's a bit far...
It's been hot in September and October, and I've tended to run to carbonated drinks, but I've finally settled down. Drink it while feeling the autumn! It's delicious, like a ginjo sake, with a nice mouthfeel and a delicious flavor that comes later.
