The first day the bottle is opened, it is slightly spicy and hard, with a pleasant slight piquancy. On the second or third day, the sweetness gradually increases, and the slight piquancy is still there. Overall, there are no peculiarities, and the rice flavor is sufficient.

Sake from Akita
Harukasumi also released Rokugo Higashine, but both are made from Misato Nishiki, and the difference between them is the rice paddies.
The sake and acidity levels are almost the same, so I chose this one because of its pink label.
It was a delicious sake with a well-balanced, mellow flavor.
It would have been nice to compare them!
Posting No. 537.
It is a full-bodied sake. It is not too acidic, has a good amount of umami, and has a calm and firm taste.
Pairing with Ate
salted fish
Stewed motsu (pork cutlet)
Edamame (green soybeans)
Personal Favorite ★★★+☆☆☆☆
This is an autumn version of the chestnut label. The design of the chestnut and fallen leaves is most "in character" with the yellow image color. There was a long time when Kumamoto yeast and Yamada Nishiki, a combination of big names, were traditionally said to be the strongest tag team. The sake is surprisingly juicy and fresh, with a modern taste. It may be a Junmai sake that will change the image of Harukaze as "a sake as gentle as a spring haze" in a good way. However, it does not have a brisk ginjo aroma, but rather a clean aroma and moderate acidity that will complement your meal, and the basic stance of this sake is that it is a mealtime sake. This is a limited edition sake that should be enjoyed slightly chilled and savored carefully.
It was a well-balanced autumn sake with good flavor and depth.
It was a well-balanced autumn sake.
It is not punchy in a good sense,
I feel that it can be easily matched with any meal.
The melon-like ginjo aroma and flavor were fully appreciated.
It was great to drink with autumn eggplant and pickled winter melon!
It also has a delicious aftertaste and gives the impression that you can enjoy the sake alone slowly 😊.
Souzake. The aroma is almost imperceptible, but when you put it in your mouth, it has a good balance of sweet-sourness and robustness. As the label says, it is suitable as a food sake, and when paired with food, the synergistic effect of the umami will increase the juicy flavor! It is best served at a temperature that is not too cold.
Mild sweet green apple type aroma 🍏.
On the palate, it's smooth and silky, with a slight gas, and a beautiful sugar and grape-like sweetness 🍇✨.
Then a slight bitterness that goes down your throat 😊🌰🌰.
Too good this year 😭😢.
It's amazing that it's not out of the line of food sake while still being flashy! 🙌
