This sake is from Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
I live in the western Kobe-Akashi area, but this is the first time I've had it.
The aroma of hineyoshi and brewer's alcohol.
Oh, it has a refreshing acidity.
Behind the sweetness, the spiciness with brewer's alcohol extends.
Today's snacks are unaju and bonito tataki, but the sourness and spiciness extend and disappear while blending with each other.
The aftertaste is refreshing without being sticky.
It is a very good sake for a mid-meal drink!
How about when it is warmed up?
The acidity and spiciness become lighter. Aroma is more pronounced.
However, the spiciness of the sake becomes stronger and the taste is too light. It is better to drink it at room temperature with snacks.
Today's dinner and supper consisted of a robust lineup of unaju, bonito tataki, and tuna sashimi (all of which were cut up).
It would be great if the Swallows win with this lineup, but...(I think it will be bad today🥺)
86/100. 15%. Green with alcoholic beverages. Melon, hay and apple. Pear and banana. Rice Yamanishiki grind to 60%. The family distillery has been producing premium sake for over 130 years.
You can't buy this sake unless you go to the brewery. It has a nice richness to it. The aroma and the impression on the palate is that it is THE sake, but it has a sweetness to it. Booze.
