Alcohol content: 15
Sake Mirai: 80%, other sake rice: 20%.
Rice polishing ratio: 40
I wondered what to drink for the 333rd check-in, but decided on Asahitaka, which I drank for the first time.
At a sake meeting in Tokyo.
Although it is an Asahitaka, it is a Junmai Daiginjo-shu, not an arugine-shu.
The main rice used is Sake Mirai, and the rice polishing ratio is 40%, so it is practically equivalent to a high class Jyushidai.
I tried to search for it on Sake-no-wa, but there was only one other post about it, so it is a rare sake.
It was supposed to be exhibited at a sake event in Yamagata, but due to the Corona disaster, it was cancelled and a small amount was released to the market.
The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated. This may be due to the fact that it is a fresh sake.
The aroma is of peach, pear, muscat, and vanilla.
The taste is very fruity and juicy just like the aroma, and the balance of sweet and sour is very good. There is no sense of alcohol at all.
It was one of the five best sake I have ever tasted.
It is a pity that I will not be able to encounter it again.
Good evening, um!
Congratulations on your 333rd check-in 🎉!
I'm so jealous of you and your high-spec equivalent of Jyushidai, Asahitaka, for your milestone sake ✨!
It was a good sake time 😋.
Lion Dance Series followed by Asahi Hawk
Isn't there a lot of Takagi-san in this year's sake?
I won't say this again until everyone else.
Sweet, tasty, crisp and fruity!
Thank you very much for the treat!
chika, no it's not 😊The people who raise the sacred wine are awesome ✌️
They prepare this kind of thing and wait for the lion dance. I'm so thankful for that 🤘. I am grateful for that 🤘.
Asahi Hawk fresh storage 2024.04
The sense of maturity is only faint, as if it were in ice storage.
It may be hard to tell.
When it opens from ice temperature, it has a gentle but gorgeous aroma with a hint of iso-type aroma.
After a round and soft texture on the tongue, it has a pleasantly gentle and tangy acidity, and is then followed by umami and a good amount of sweetness. From the mid-palate, the taste is smooth and clean, with a pleasant light bitterness in the aftertaste.
Recently, I don't write about the full taste of heated sake because it's too much trouble to write about it, but this one has a wide range of temperatures at which it is delicious 😄.
I miraculously was able to purchase Asahitaka when I was in Yamagata last year!
It has a very fruity taste that reminds me of melon 😋.
It's the kind of sake you want to drink on special occasions 🍶.
