I drank Asahi Hawk for the first time.
It's a habit-forming bottle ....
It has a mellowness like an old sake.
The umami spreads all over your mouth.
When I realized that three of us opened a bottle, I lost my memory of it.
Asahi Hawk Fresh Stored 2024.4
There is not much of a sense of maturity, perhaps because it is ice cold stored.
On the contrary, it is a strong sake which may be difficult to understand.
The aroma is mild and gentle, but it is also iso-ish.
After a smooth but round and soft texture on the tongue, a gentle and tangy acidity is pleasantly felt, followed by umami and a moderate sweetness.
The overt aroma is also gorgeous but soft and calm, with a smooth and beautiful taste from the mid-palate and a pleasant light bitterness in the aftertaste.
Personally, I have had many kinds of sake from Takagi Shuzo, but I think this is the best one to drink with food.
Thank you very much for the sake.
Tokusen Asahitaka Nama-Shu
It is stable. It is the best.
If I were asked which sake I would drink every day, I would be the first one to mention it. LOL!
At Masuhan, Koriyama City
I never thought I would be able to drink Asahitaka in Fukushima!
Attack is normal, sweet,
Maybe a little melon-like.
Sourness is a little, but bitterness spreads later.
Takagi Shuzo's Honjozo is very good!
I would like to have it again if I have a chance!
