I decided this would be my first bottle of the new year ✨🎍.
As the temperature drops.
Green apple and in a good way.
Seme smells like ☺️🍏🩵.
On the palate, it's smooth and smooth
with rummy, green apple and
Mild sugar sweetness.
It fills your mouth 😳✨.
The sharp bitterness is
Also outstanding and too much to like ‼︎❤️🦅
I hope you have a great new year 🤲🤲.
At the end of the year, I opened a bottle of Asahitaka from Takagi Shuzo in my hometown of Yamagata 🍾 This time it was a cold-stored sake.
It is a little less gorgeous than the last fresh-stored sake, but it is as fruity as muscat on the palate.
It is a little alcoholic in the middle part of the taste, but it has a nice crispness and a short, lingering finish that does not tire you out.
It was cold outdoors and served warmed sake, which I ordered because I didn't have a chance to drink it very often!
It's been a while since I've had heated sake, so the aroma was very strong, but it was delicious!
I would like to try it cold someday!
- The third Asahi hawk: ❣️ The owner says it's very similar to Honmaru, so it's the best for the cost: ❗️ However, having never had Honmaru, I couldn't tell 😅 But Asahi hawk ✨ was definitely delicious: ⤴️
Asahi Hawk New Sake Nama-Stored Sake
A gift of Asahitaka's new sake.
Fruity but with a strong core flavor. It has a fruity yet firm core flavor, a full sweetness, and a slight gassy feeling.
It is not only popular but also very tasty.
I received this precious sake from a friend in Yamagata 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇.
A local Yamagata-only brand brewed by Takagi Shuzo, famous for Jyushidai!
A luxurious comparison of cold-stored and fresh-stored sake!
The aroma is not so strong.
The taste is youthful, gorgeous and fresh compared to the cold-stored version.
It has a sweetness, but it also has a characteristic muscat-like acidity.
The aftertaste is moderately bitter with a hint of smokiness.
This also goes well with Kadokami Seafood's sushi 🍣.

Aroma is subdued
Slightly thickened mouthfeel
Powerful umami flavor spreads.
The balance of acidity and sweetness is just right for me personally.
The umami has a lot of extension and lingers into the aftertaste.
It finishes with a moderate bitterness.
The sweetness and umami may be more easily felt if the sake is not cooled too much.
In any case, it is so good that it does not seem to be a special honjozo!
