Typical nigori color (milky white), with no head and moderate legs left on the glass. Medium amount of sediment overall.
Much more lightly-fruited aroma (and flavor) than other nigoris I’ve had. Dosent have as many dull rice husk and coconut-like notes, but in place seems to almost have a citrus and passion fruit-like zestiness. Lots of some type of tropical fruit, anyways. Not as thickly creamy-sweet either, leaving more of a perfuminess to linger. Medium-strong aroma, to boot, with light alcohol nuances, but quite controlled for its size.
Very impressive flavor is full of nectarine and tangerine fruitiness, with softly stinging alcohol underneath. Pineapple-coconut is reserved, relatively speaking (it’s always going to be quite prominent) and allows the esters to really come alive. The mouthfeel was wonderful as well, and I fully agree with Jjpm74 that it didnt have nearly as much graininess as many other nigoris. This made for a more fluid, traditional sake-like mouthfeel (though dont get me wrong, it’s still unfiltered). Sweet, probably too much so in the end, but very drinkable and surprisingly controlled in the alcohol.
