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 🍶.

Yamagata Purchased at supermarket
The season for this has come again this year! It's a little late to be saying this...
It's a little too late to say "this is the season for this!
I managed to buy it again this year 🍶.
Thank you so much 😊.
Opened the bottle right away 🍶 delicious 😋.
Juicy sweet umami and the Asahitaka-like clean aftertaste! This balance is really delicious 😋.
It tastes better than last year's draft sake 🤔This year's is even better!
I'm going to compare it with the raw stored sake Asahitaka that I opened the other day 🦅I have to admit that the raw sake has a slightly more pronounced flavor...?
But was it because I opened the bottle too late? I don't think the taste is that much different between the two 🤔.
I think it would be better to drink it as soon as possible if I can buy it again next year... Thank you very much for the treat...
I was starving after traveling all morning, so I drank more and more 😋.
Next, there was a Asahi Hawk, which I had heard rumors about, so I ordered it without hesitation with a side dish!
I was hesitant to order it because I had an image of the alcoholic drinks that I used to drink at Izakaya (Japanese style pubs).
It has a melon-like fruity and umami flavor, and goes down beautifully 😳.
I thought I was going to feel a lot of alcohol, but it was so refreshing.
The low-temperature cooked chicken breast and sesame oil are refreshed by the alcohol.
And I can't stop...
Sake from the brewery of Jyushidai
At first, it doesn't look like a honjozo at all.
Mellow, with a strong sweetness.
The aftertaste is long.
Slightly soaked with alcohol at the end.
Powerful and delicious sake!
