Sake Drinking in Rasai (4)
Next is Asahitaka! It used to be available in Yamagata, but in the past, it has been hard to find due to its popularity. Compared to the Jyushiyo, the sweetness and umami are more subdued, and it is a beautiful sake that is hard to believe it is a honjozo (pure sake). This is a delicious sake that you will never get tired of drinking!
Just a reminder 🙏.
The second sake at Koshima was "Asahitaka" from the Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata 🍶.
I can't believe I can drink this sake in Hiroshima 😍!
This is "Jyushiyo" ❓It has a fresh texture 😝.

Personal Evaluation:★★★★★
Impression
Although it has a sake strength of +2, it has a fruity taste with a sweet aftertaste. It has a mild and easy-drinking mouthfeel.
Takagi Shuzo also produces the famous sake Jyushiyo. Since Asahitaka has such a great taste, one cannot help but have high expectations for the taste of Jyushiyo.
The waiter recommended it to us at the end of the day as it was hard to get in, and we were impressed with the sake's overwhelmingly superior taste to the sake we had compared that day!
The sake is made for the local market at the same brewery as Jyushiyo, so it is usually hard to get it in stock.
Third or fourth drink at Akutaretei drinking establishment. It was sweet and tasty, and I had another. The master's vocabulary-limited recommendation, "It's delicious," is becoming more and more habitual. By the time I took this picture, I was a bit wet. LOL!
Asahi hawk fresh storage. When opened from ice temperature, it has a gentle yet gorgeous aroma with a hint of iso-type aroma. The soft texture on the tongue is followed by a pleasantly gentle, tangy acidity and a moderate sweetness. From the mid-palate, the taste is smooth and clean, with a pleasant light bitterness in the finish. I've had it at different temperatures and different bottles, so I'll drink it cold tonight. Asahitaka is a delicious sake that can be drunk deeply.
Asahi hawk after a long time! Taste similar to Jyushiyo's Honmaru!
The taste is similar to Honmaru of Jyushidai!
It is still a special good sake! I'm sure it's still a very special sake 😀 😀
The other Sunday, Rafa, the sake goddess, took me and my husband on a tour of the liquor stores in Kita Osaka😍!
I usually only inhabit the South Osaka area, so the tour was a lot of fun and felt like a trip 🩷Thank you Rafa-san for a precious and wonderful time ❣️
We went to 4 shops and started with 5 different kinds of sake tasting, which I didn't expect. So this is what the sake gods are like: ⁉️
We bought a lot, talked a lot, and had a lot of fun😊Thank you Rafa, really💕.
I'll give you more about the sake we bought at that time soon. We went to the other sake shop.
The manager told us that there was Asahitaka today, and we took a bite. ❣️
The taste is stable and delicious, the ultimate in freshness 😆👍👍.
Hello, Wakata-san 😀
I'm glad you had a great time at the sake god in Kita-Osaka😇
We were just wandering around the mountains of Kawachinagano at that time 🤣.
Actually, we haven't visited any other sake breweries yet, so we'd love to do so 😀.
Yasube, good morning 😃I was wondering if we could join you since it was raining, but it was in Kawachinagano 😁Other sake breweries are quite reasonable in their prices, so please visit ‼️ and join us with Kaorin if you like 😊.
Hi Rafa 😃Yes 💦I was standing there drinking, afraid of knocking over the drinks I put under my feet 😅If you ever come to the south side, we'll show you around this time 😁.
Good evening, Wakata!
I can feel that you had a lot of fun 😄 and it makes me smile when I read it. ☺️
I'm sure you and your wife must have had a backpack full after visiting 4 liquor stores 😅 but still, it's great that you went back home after drinking 😆.
Wakata-san konban-ha (o´ omega`o)no~~
Rafa is a really nice guy ☺️
I'd like to ask him to do the same for us when we go there😊.
I'm not sure where to put my 3 reviews, they're all so good........
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃The liquor store excursion was really fun 😆👍Next time you guys come to Osaka, please visit ❤️ and I'll join you this time 👍I ended up with a bag full, not just a backpack, 7 bottles in total😅.
After more than two years of practicing and copying heated sake recipes, I finally got to enjoy a full course meal from the legendary heated sake master, Guts the Heated Sake Maker, and I am once again hooked on heated sake. I'm already wanting to heat up everything. The cocktail of slowly heated and chilled sake, the mellow warmed sake and the freshly chilled sake is bliss. The warmed sake is also delicious. Of course, cold sake is great, too.
I came here on a business trip to Hachinohe 💁 I unexpectedly found and ordered Asahi Taka instead of Mutsu Hachisen. It's been about 8 years?
It was sweet and rich, with a hint of bitterness at the end. It has been a long time since I have had a real brewed Asahitaka. The sweetness also makes me nostalgic 😄I paired it with sashimi, but it goes well with it. The button prawns are delicious 🦐.

Sashimi
Good morning, Komacchan 😃.
You are lucky to meet Asahi Hawk🦅 after 8 years on a business trip 🤗The sashimi looks delicious, but nostalgia is also an appetizer 😚.
This is "Asahitaka", a limited edition Yamagata sake from Takagi Shuzo, well known for its "Jyushiyo" brand.
It is almost impossible to buy Jyushiyo, but if you are lucky, you can buy Asahitaka at a supermarket in Yamagata.
My parents bought this for me at a supermarket in Yamagata.
I can't compare the taste with Jyushiyo because I have never had it before, but it is delicious.
It is a brewed sake, but the sweetness and umami are exquisite.
It is hard to believe that this sake is priced in the 2,000 yen range.
