Finally, the last sake from the sake buffet we recently had at Torarenbo Hilton Plaza West. This is Kunimori nigori sake from the Nakano Shuzo brewery in Aichi Prefecture (Handa City). It's a nigori sake with brewing alcohol and added sugar. The label says that the sake is only heated when bottled, so we labeled it as "Nama-zume" (raw sake). The sake has a sake strength of -5, an acidity of 1.3, and an amino acidity of 1.2. The appearance is a beautiful snow white with no graininess at all. The aroma is a bit unexpected with a greenish flavor. The texture is smooth and smooth with fine particles. The taste has a sweet sake-like sake lees flavor with a hint of alcohol. By the way, we finished the sake buffet with a glass of Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjyo Peach Color Nigori (the third glass) 🍶. It's nice because you can freely enjoy a little bit of various brands of sake (I had 3 cups 😅)! The only problem is that I drink too much 😎. Thanks for the food 🍶🍶🍶🍶.

Oze no Yukidoke Junmai Daiginjyo Peach Color Nigori from Ryujin Shuzo in Gunma Prefecture (Tatebayashi City). We had a chance to compare the sake at Torarenbo Hilton Plaza West the other day, but we had no idea it was included in the sake buffet! I won't go into details about the aroma and taste since they are already in my recent post, but it has a light sour aroma, a bright cherry-red nigori that is perfect for spring, a light acidity, a sweet umami that is typical of junmai daiginjos, and a refreshing hint of fragrance. I like muddy and oily aromas, but this one is not cloying or sticky, and at the same time, the acidity enhances the Junmai Daiginjo flavor, which I honestly think is great. I love it. I refilled it twice after this (whisper). Thank you very much for the food 🍶.

This is a gem of Kutouryuu from the Kuroryu Shuzo brewery in Fukui Prefecture (Eiheiji Town). Brewed with Fukui rice at 65% polished rice, it is the most standard sake in the Kutouryu lineup with a sake degree of +3. The appearance is clear and the aroma is only slightly sweet. The texture is smooth, and along with the umami, I also felt a sense of alcohol and iodine in the hint of aroma. It was a treat 🍶.

This is Hakurakusei Special Junmai from Shinzawa Brewery in Miyagi Prefecture (Osaki City). This is the most standard brand of Hakurakusei, which aims to be the ultimate food sake. The sake rice is unknown, but it is flat polished rice with a milling ratio of 60%. It has a sake degree of +3, acidity of 1.6, and amino acidity of 1.2. The appearance is clear. The aroma is umami and acidic. On the palate, there is a refreshing acidity and a sense of alcohol loss. It is easy to drink with a good balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity, and it certainly gives the impression of an excellent food sake that would go well with any dish. It is refreshing, so it can be enjoyed on its own as well. Thank you very much for your kindness.

From the Ryujin Shuzo brewery in Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture, comes this Junmai Daiginjyo Namazume from Oze no Yukimelto. The authority of this sake is unknown, so it may be a Monde Selection type of sake (please forgive me, I'm just a rambler who doesn't know anything about things), but it won the gold medal at the Tasteful Sake in a Wine Glass Awards. The appearance is clear with a slight lemon yellow tinge. The aroma has a strong sweet ginjo aroma with a hint of white flowers, and a light, cucumber-like ginjo aroma with a hint of sake-like character coexists. The taste has a smooth texture, with a fruity and juicy melt-in-your-mouth sweetness and a lighter umami flavor. The back palate also has a light acidity and sharpness, but the hints are also fruity. It was a sake that would suit not only those who like fruity sake, but also those who like white wine. Thank you for the sake.
