Winter Nigorinpic 14 Yesterday, we had our first Hirotogawa nigori sake, so today we will compare them with Hanazumi sake which was recommended by Manachie😇! As you can see in the picture, we had Ona-san, Jikin-san, Hirotogawa-san, and Hanaizumi Nigori Sake 😇! This was the most fun drinking comparison 😀. Each sake had a slightly different nuance, but each had a fruity sweetness that was not clingy, so it was really hard to choose one over the other 😇. I haven't had Sengoku's Yukidharma yet this season, but I would definitely rank Yukidharma, Ona, Hanaizumi, Jikin, and Hirotogawa as the top five nigorizake in my opinion 😀. From tomorrow, I'd like to take a break from nigori sake and move on to light nigori 😀. I'm going to take a break from Sentori Yuki Dharma and do the Dharma comparison again 🤣.

Purple Space Series 2️⃣ After yesterday's Murasaki Uchu Sugitama label, today we got the Snow label 😀. The rice polishing ratio is the same at 55% and the yeast is also the same according to Giovanni 😀 Sake level is minus 2 and minus 2.5 and acidity is 1.5 and 1.7🤣. The specs are almost the same, but I could feel the sweet and sour fruitiness of this Snow Label 😀. Maybe you wouldn't feel this difference if you drank them separately, but even my stupid tongue could feel it when I drank them side by side😇. It would be interesting if this is the difference between Gohyakumangoku and Miyamanishiki!

We had our first new sake of the year 😀. This is the start of our 24-25 season😇 We decided to start off with a new sake cedar ball label by Shihu 😀. My goal for this season is, 1️⃣We would like to chase the season's limited edition sake to savor the season by Shihuusan and Wakamusume 😇 2️⃣I'm a taste-o-phile, I'd like to decide on various purposes and taste different kinds of sake 😀 3️⃣Nigorist and nigori sake lover in my family, I would like to drink 30% of the sake we drink this season with nigori type (nigori, light nigori, orikarami, etc.) 😀 Purple Space Series 1️⃣ I'll start with this one, Sugitama Label Hatsushibori 😀. My impression is that it is a little bit different from the other Murasakyuusan I've had so far... 🤣. Of course it tastes just as good as the previous Murasakichi, but it seems to be more pungent than before...maybe it is a characteristic of the rice used for sake, I wonder ❓ I will be drinking the Snow Label Miyamanishiki tomorrow to compare the two, so it would be nice to know the difference😇

Today we will open another bottle of Yamaguchi Prefecture's light nigori, which we have been carefully keeping in our sake cellar 😀. It's a limited edition light nigori from Moegi by Wakamusuusan. The bottle was opened successfully and the supernatant was removed 😀. It's hard to compare the taste between the supernatant and the mixed one 😀. The fruitiness and gentle sweetness is what you would expect from Wakamusumusan 😇. I knew the level of Yamaguchi Prefecture's sake was high 😀.

I was curious about Aladdin's review and since it didn't seem to be available very often, I bought it. Sake strength -54, using Iwate Prefecture's experimental yeast M7 No aroma at all. It is sweet and tastes like plum wine as rumored. Good for those who don't like sake. Slight but firm sweetness. If you ask me if it is cotton candy, I would say it tastes like cotton candy with a hint of sweetness 🤔.

It was a very short GW, but at the end of the day, we opened a bottle of Shihu's Cotton Candy label, which we had purchased because the wife read Aladdin's and other people's postings and really wanted to drink it 😀. We compared the cotton candy that had been brought to room temperature for tasting, the cotton candy that had been chilled, and the nigori and hanamup of Nozomu. I felt the cotton candy and plum wine flavor more strongly at room temperature 🤣. The plum wine finishes off the meal so it doesn't interfere with the meal 😀. More and more, I want to keep digging deeper into Shihou 😇

Spring Sake & Nigorinpic 1️⃣ 0️⃣ I've been seeing a lot of Shihu-san in Sake-no-wa posts lately 😀. This year, the third bottle of Shihuyu I stumbled upon and wanted to delve deeper into is the Harusake It's a cherry blossom label 😀. As you said, this sake is also a delicious sweet-tart fruity sake 😀. Not only is it sweet and delicious, but the acidity gives it a clean aftertaste, making it a versatile sake that can also be used as an in-between-dinner drink 😇. By the way, my wife requested me to take her out to drink the cotton candy label after reading Aladdin's comment 🤣. It's rare to get a request from the wife, so I'm planning to bring her cotton candy label tomorrow 😀.

Spring Sake & Nigorinpic0️⃣ 5️⃣Continuing from yesterday, today we had a Botan from Mr. Wakamusume 😀 I can't wait to see how it differs from yesterday's Wakamusume's light nigori supernatant😇. The first attack was less tangy than the nigori supernatant, but instead conveyed a solid fruitiness 😀. So far, it's probably a matter of taste, but I prefer the light nigori with stronger acidity and piquancy😇. If you like a mild fruity taste, I'm sure you will prefer this one 🤣. Still, it was a great shock to see such a difference in taste between Wakamusume's nigori supernatant and a non-nigori sake with the same specs 😅. I'd like to dig a little deeper into this very nice sake 😀.

Hello Yasube-san 🐦 I am envious of you just for being a wakamusume, but to be able to compare the two! Also, it's interesting to see the difference between the clear sake and nigori 😊I usually prefer the nigori one, but this mild fruity one is also very attractive 😻

Hi Ponchan 😀 Definitely, I think both sakes are to your liking 😇. If I may say so, I think the nigori one will get closer to the taste of the clear sake as time goes by after opening the bottle, so it will be fun to see the taste change 😇.

First of all, this nigori... actually it's a sake from my hometown Yamaguchi prefecture, but it's my first time at Wakamusume😇. Both have the same bready and fruity taste in the mouth, but I preferred the one that was mixed and lightly nigorized 😀.

Today's sake is also a continuation of yesterday's sake, Ariiso Akebono, which survived the earthquake in Himi 😀 Yesterday's was a draft sake, but today it is a fire-brewed junmai-shu. Yesterday it was a draft, but today it is a fire-aged junmai sake 😀. Of course, we will be comparing the two sakes we opened yesterday, Ariiso Akebono and Nitoshi 😀. Kaorin is separated from us again today, so we started the laboratory with 3 bottles side by side 😀. With a wife, you can't play this kind of game very often 🤣. At first I had them in hiya 😀. As I thought, I liked the Ni-Utsuri's raw taste the best because it has a firm sweetness and umami flavor 😀. The taste of Aiso Akebono was almost the same between the raw and the hiya 😀. Then...I roasted 3 bottles at once in hot water up to 40 degrees Celsius 😀. Unfortunately, Ni-Rabbit... I knew before I tried it but the taste was too chunky and the hiya was not sharp and tasty... Sorry for experimenting just because I knew what I was doing: 🙇‍♀️ I'm sorry for the experiment, I just knew what I was getting into........ However, the raw one was getting a bit sour, so today's Ariiso Akebono was the best when it was heated 😀. This heated sake was delicious and I really hope the brewery will revive it soon 🙏.

I had it cold first, and this sake is unmistakably mellow 😀. Then we compared it with Fusashimaya's light nigorigo which we opened yesterday 😀 We drank it both hiya and lukewarm. The table top looked like a laboratory, but it turned out to be a delicious drinking comparison 😀. We were especially surprised at the change in taste of Ariiso Akebono's sake when it was heated from cold to warmed up 😀. It's tough when the wife is down, but it's fun to experiment with different types of sake 🤣.

Thank you all for your kind words of sympathy😊It's only the second day, so it's hard to get rid of the fever and I'm feeling lazy, but it's definitely better than yesterday. My husband is giving me a lot of trouble, but I'm glad to hear he's enjoying himself in his own way.

Schwarzwald and classy cherry pineapple. No bitterness at the pull, refreshing. After visiting Takamura Coffee, I decided to accompany bouken-san to his favorite restaurant, Haretoke, because it was within walking distance 👟. It is a special store of Kamigawa Taisetsu, and they had quite a variety of it. ❄️ It was a bit out of season, but we wanted to try a draft sake, so we chose this one. It was fresh and delicious ✨. Next time I want to buy a few different kinds to compare 💡. 720 mL ¥ 2,530

Hi Yoohee 😃 I think it is not walking distance from Takamura Coffee to Haretoke 🤔... 🤔 Wasn't it far? Haretoke is a good liquor store with quite a variety of shops like Purple Space, Loman, Wakamusume, Tagaji, etc 🍶.

Good evening, Aladdin. ⭐︎ Well, I thought I wouldn't be able to walk if it was that bad 💡. Maybe I didn't feel it so much because I moved around while talking with bouken👟. It's nice that they are open on Sundays too ⭕️

Good evening, Mr. Yoohee! I'm not afraid to walk one or two stops, so maybe I'm numb to the sensation 🤣I get bored on the way when I walk in bocce 🙄I'm put off by how expensive it is overall, but it's still delicious 😋.

bouken Hello ☀︎ If there were several liquor stores within one or two stations, I would walk 👍. I can't wait to get on the train when I buy a large quantity 💨 I'm sure it's delicious, but it's so expensive that I can't buy it often 💧.

Cloudy white color reminiscent of calpis. The aroma of rice malt. Aroma of freshly pounded rice cake. The aroma is strong. It has a sweet and sour taste. It has a doburoku-like acidity and a slightly strong astringency. The hint of vanilla and fresh cream. It has a medium aftertaste. Mellow sake.
