It has a fruity aroma like a pear, sweetness and umami like a rice-derived Kamishinko, acidity, and bitterness, and finishes with a nice crispness! It can be served chilled as it is, or as a mid-meal sake!
The medium-hard water from the Akiyama River, a first-class river in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been selected as one of the 100 best waters in Japan. The symbol mark embodies the use of this good water and its sublimation into a gorgeous sake. The multiple layers of ripples weave together to form a single flower. This flower on the label is also available in silver and gold, but blue is for summer sake. It fits perfectly with the current hot weather.
Sake🍶 from Daiichi Shuzo in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture.
I tried it to match the season of cherry blossoms.
It has a gorgeous aroma and moderate acidity. It was delicious and refreshing.
This limited edition sake is available only four days a month and is bottled and sold by weight directly from the tank at the brewery's store. It is a limited edition sake for February called "Risshun no Ume-mi-sake" (in March it is called "Early Spring Yumemi-sake").
It tastes like bright red apples. The color is like apple honey. The freshness and attack are only possible with the original sake. Tochigi's water is really mild and delicious.
