I heard that unfiltered is called "sppin" in sake terminology. I had never heard of it before. It has a refreshing taste with a darker flavor that is typical of nama sake.
The more it is chilled, the more its flavor and sharpness harmonize.
Kiku-Masamune's cold sake.
Although it is not a junmai sake, it is a deeply flavored sake with the sweetness of rice. It is truly delicious when drunk cold.
Rice polishing ratio 73%, alcohol 10%.
The image is somewhere between nigori (nigori sake) and kuzumigarami (lees sake). The taste was light and smooth.
The taste was to my liking, with the umami and sweetness of the rice. I think it is my favorite nigori sake among all the nigori sake I have had so far.
It was very tasty with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness like white wine.
We enjoyed it while viewing cherry blossoms. A very nice holiday.
Gassan's mellow dry Junmai.
Junmai sake from Yoshida Shuzo, Shimane Prefecture.
A glass at Izakaya Toki in Motomachi, Kobe.
The aroma is soft and mellow. It has a sharp, umami taste and is easy to drink.
Nihon Zakari Tokusen by Nihon Zakari Co.
A well-balanced spiciness and umami that seems to be popular with everyone.
A glass of sake at Nada Gogo Shokusho, an izakaya in the Nada area.
