For the record
Eight members who love hot springs at work
brought their own sake!
All of them are delicious! ✨️
Mainly Asahitaka...
No matter how hard we tried
We couldn't drink it all in one night
We shared it the next morning and went home.
The view from the room
The night view is so moody.
At Kadoya-san in Mukojima.
It has a strong sweetness, but it's very sharp and easy to drink.
It has a good balance of sweet and sour.
It leaves a lingering taste in your throat.
Report 6📝 of the September 2024 Sakai Offsite Meeting
I never thought I could drink Asahi Taka in Osaka 👀.
Thank you Ofuji-san for carrying a bottle from Yamagata to Osaka ‼️
It has no smell even though it's alsobeerated, and it goes into your body smoothly even though it's 15 degrees ✨.
I had it cold and then heated it up with Maru's sake warmer, and while it was alcoholic at first, it had a mild texture that was just as delicious 👍
Refreshing acidity with a gorgeous sweetness on the nose, the best balance. The astringency can be felt at the back of the tongue, and the sharpness is refreshing.
Limited edition from December to May, heat-treated at the time of bottling.
The sweet aroma is stronger than last year.
A little bit of gasiness on the tip of the tongue.
The sweetness has increased from last year, and it is more modern in terms of sweetness. The sweetness is more modern in terms of sweetness. The sweetness is easy to drink without feeling the alcohol.
It is similar to the sweetness that can be easily felt in Aizan.
It does not have the lightness of the "honmaru" style, and it seems to be complete on its own. The taste is richer than the Asahitaka's food sake taste.
The second drink at the other sake brewery was Asahitaka, which I have not had for a long time.
It too had a sweet taste and was delicious 😊.
Compared to Jyushiyo, Asahitaka is less fruity, clearer and more suited for a mealtime drink.
I think I like Asahitaka more 🤔 lol
Asahitaka" by Takagi Shuzo
Takagi Shuzo is a brewery famous for its "Jyushiyo," but Asahitaka is a different style from Jyushiyo, and is loved in its hometown of Yamagata Prefecture.
Asahitaka is mainly sold within Yamagata Prefecture and is not distributed nationwide.
Although it is a honjozo sake, it is characterized by its slightly sweet aroma, smooth taste, and fresh texture.
Although it is a honjozo sake, it has a ginjo aroma and a high cost-performance ratio.
It is sometimes described as having a flavor reminiscent of Jyushiyo.
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 😋.
