日本の名: 純米吟醸 淡雫
Rice: Gohyakumangoku | Seimaibuai: 50% | Nihonshu-do: -4 | Acidity: 1.8
Kura means sake-brewery, and Shizuku is the first run of sake. Kurashizuku's flavor, color and fragrance are enriched by the careful first steaming and pressing of its rice. Often called "antique" sake, Kurashizuku is Usu-Nigori, i.e. sake that has some few sake yeast, rice and koji in the bottle while the bulk remains behind on the filtering cloth as Sake-Kasu ("cake").

Bottled.An unclear water colored sake. The aroma is sweet with notes of rice and alcohol as well as light notes of citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of rice, but also with a bit of acidity, and alcohol that leaves a burn in the throat. Thanks Storm for sharing.

(Bottle 72 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours a hazy, greyish golden with no head. Soft, sweetish rice aroma. Medium body with a soft mouthfeel, notes of aniseed and fruit. Pleasant and very drinkable. 190408

72 cL bottle, thanks to Storm - my first sake ever! Pours hazy and pale yellow with no head. Light spiced and mild alcohol aroma. Liqourice and mint aroma. Flavour is liqourice and menthol. Dry and light spiced finish. Reminds me a lot about the greek ouzo drink.

Hazed yellowish milky liquid. No sparkle, so ’m a bit leery. Strong sweet rice aromas with just a touch of birch sap in the background. LIght vanilla and white jelly bean flavors. A touch of burn in the finish but otherwise the alcohol is quite minimal. Quite smooth and a relaxing type sake. I would enjoy this after a nice dinner.

Milky light white color, light sparkling qualities. I expect something different when the cap releases pressure when you open it. The nose has some earthy koji and light tropical fruits, not much in the realm of umami or alcohol, slightly medicinal as well. The flavor is a real turn off, very tart with more a slap of koji on the tounge. The tail is brief but not very good. Overall the alcohol is very well hidden but the flavor just doesn’t qualify this as an easy drinking beverage. Thanks to IdahoJizake for letting me try this.
