Haruka's seasonal series is all delicious.
The refreshing aroma, the tangy feeling on the tongue, the clean taste... I wonder if it's the water that makes this taste so good!
I think it's because this area is selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan.
UTAGE2025 limited edition sake
It is so fizzy that you would think it was sparkling.
Fresh, but the sweetness is soft, mild and silky.
Pitchy, but naturally sweet like sugar cane.
First spring haze
The sake I usually drink is too fruity, but this one has a light, slightly carbonated, refreshing taste.
It tastes like green apple.
The bitterness that lingers lightly in the back of the throat does not linger too long.
What to drink with it?
Deep fried maha goby caught by father and son on Sunday!
Well, both are delicious!

Yeast: No.6 yeast
The impact of the No. 6 yeast may be pulling you in, but the mouthfeel is fruity and the little bit of gas is very delicious. ☺️
And I think the lingering bitterness is also the taste of sake while feeling its sweetness!
This sake is full of No. 6's gorgeousness and deliciousness, and it was a mistake to drink it on Sunday night (lol)!
I bought it at Takadome Sake Shop when I visited Yokote.
The ogara-mi of Harukasumi's No. 6 yeast is available in the market, but the draft sake is only available at Takadome Sake Brewery.
It is easy to drink, with a mild and refreshing mouthfeel typical of Harukasumi and a hint of the freshness of the No. 6 yeast.
It is easy to drink, with a mild, clean mouthfeel that is typical of Har Kasumi, but with a touch of bitterness from the orikara.
It also has a freshness, or perhaps a slight gaseous feeling, typical of nama-shu.
It is a complex yet delicious sake.
The sweetness stands out and is easy to drink with a meal.
The first thing that catches the eye is the label - it evokes nostalgia. I have visited Mt. Chokaisan several times and it is truly a beautiful mountain.
The balance of sweetness, umami, and astringency is exquisite. Fresh and mellow flavor. Delicious!
