The second glass was a light nigori from Sairai. Slightly effervescent, with a light sweetness and a clean aftertaste. This is my favorite. After all, light nigori is delicious. I went home with another glass.

I enter a restaurant in Hatanodai that I have been curious about for some time. There are many customers and the place is lively. There is a large refrigerator with a large selection of sake. I ordered the Nabeshima that immediately caught my eye. It has an elegant sweetness, a slight carbonation, and a melon-like aroma. Delicious.

First of all, the label is eye-catching. I don't know what it reads, but it is typical of KAWATSURU.
When I drank it, I found it to be quite acidic. It is like a grapefruit that is not bitter. Looking at the label carefully, I see that it is made with white malted rice, which gives it that kind of sourness. If anything, it tastes like wine.
Among the sakes we drank at the restaurant, this one had a particularly strong impact on us.

We had a hiyaoroshi from Naraman, which we had always been curious about but never got around to trying.
Hiyoroshi is a somewhat classic style of sake with a lot of umami and suitable for room temperature, which is a hurdle for beginners. However, Naraman has both fruity and umami flavors and is very tasty. After much research, it seems to be a fresh sake.
It was described as a ripe pear, and it may indeed be like that.

This is one that you don't see very often, and has been gaining a lot of attention lately: Gagakuyo. It is called "Utashiro" in Japanese. It has been a while since I drank this one, too.
It is a light dry sake from Niigata, but it is supposed to be gorgeous. It tastes like a modern dry wine. It tastes fruity, but with little cloying taste and not too much sweetness, so it doesn't linger in the mouth.
It would be great with white fish sashimi or other refreshing dishes.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby.
It is a bit colorful when you read it Masayo. This modern dry sake, not too sweet but aromatic, can be recommended to sake beginners. It is not too forward in its assertion, so it may be suitable as a food sake.

Aomori's famous sake that needs no explanation. Recently, it seems to be gaining popularity and is rarely seen at liquor stores. It is probably because it is distributed only to izakaya (Japanese style pubs).
When I tasted it before, I felt a very apple-like fruity flavor, and the appleiness is the same this time. On the other hand, I also felt a strong flavor of rice along with the fruity taste.
The umami flavor is strong, so it may go well with Japanese food. The match with sashimi was not bad.
