A clean and refreshing taste with no bitterness.
Store-aged for 6 months after opening. It has a solid aroma of grain. The first sip has a delicious rice flavor that spreads and is accompanied by a moderate sense of maturity, as well as sourness and bitterness. The finish is moderately sharp with a light bitterness. Although there is a slight hiney feeling, the sake has a strong, light flavorful image.
This is a sake from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, found in a supermarket in Akashi.
I have never seen this design before, but it was sold side by side with a similar design from Akashi's Ibaraki Sake Brewery and one other sake brewer, so it may have been part of some project.
Dry and pungent taste that rises before sweetness.
It rises crisply and disappears with a slight lingering aftertaste when served with food. The second sip is followed by a strong umami. After a short pause, the spiciness is again pronounced, and the sake is ready to be drunk again. It is irresistible.
How about if you heat it up?
The spiciness comes through to the nose. It is quite strong.
The umami comes out on the whole surface, and it is assertive even if it is combined with the entrée. The pungent spiciness and umami disappear while being well accepted.
This acceptance is also a nice touch.
It is nice to encounter sake from one's hometown in a distant city.

I'm not the one who's destined to drink. It's hard, but I can't deny it.
But it's hard to stay away.
It's hard just to lick that water.
Sweet. No, no, no.
Good bye.
So what's booze for me then? I don't know the answer.
I don't even want to know.
If there's one thing I know for sure.
I hate labor.
Purchased in Fukui Prefecture.
The moment I put it in my mouth, it was light and dry.
I thought it would just end up tasting light and simple, but the moment I closed my mouth and took a breath, my mouth was filled with flavor 👀.
The label said it was a green apple.
The aftertaste was rich and sweet? It was delicious!
It was delicious ☺️.

My aunt gave it to me as a New Year's gift. I've never had it before.
I've never had it before, and she said it was made from Kutouryuu rice.
It tastes like an old-fashioned sake, crisp and dry.
I think it goes well with meat.
After buying three bottles this time, I'm sure I'll be buying several more bottles. It is relatively clean and sweet, and goes well with nabe and grilled meat. This is one of my favorite bottles every year.
Muddy sake with a moderate sweetness. It has a clean, crisp taste with a delicious rice flavor. It's great chilled, but it's also great lukewarm. Personally, it's a winter staple.
