Eiko-Fuji and Akono-Yuki were opened 🎉.
I bought this Akebono Wing 🪽 recommended by the liquor store.
I bought it in February this year, and for some reason I let it sleep 😆.
The concept is a white orikagari waiting for spring, which is pretty much out of season 💦🙏.
It has a sake level of -14😳 and they recommend it for sushi and sashimi!
Anyway, I paired it with squid sashimi as my main dish 🦑.
I'll have it right away 🥂🥂.
First of all, it was so gassy and white that I stirred it as soon as I opened the bottle.
The aroma is fresh and sweet!
When you put it in your mouth, you will be filled with bubbles 🫧🫧 and the milky sweetness will come to the fore!
It finishes as it is with a lingering sweet and sour taste.
No pungency, bitterness, or astringency.
This is also delicious 😋😋😋.
A sweet, adult cream soda with absolutely no cloying taste!
You can't even taste the rice 🌾, it's not fruity, it's just milky🐮💕, gassy and gulpable... it's dangerous. ⚠️
It has 16% alcohol, but you don't feel it 🤣.
I finished it in no time and fell asleep 😅.
It went well with squid sashimi 🤔.
This is good on its own 🤤.
The milky orikara is the best ✨.
I'm sure I'll be back next year👍
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃You have a nice way of drinking, falling asleep after finishing your adult cream soda 😁👍EikoFuji, I have an image of it having quite a lot of body, but this one looks really easy to drink ✨.
Good morning, hinahana mama 😃!
Sake makes me look forward to spring😍It's getting colder and I'm thinking ✨warmer season is better✨I've been thinking luxuriously, but sake is sweet but good with sushi and sashimi 😋.
Hi Wakata 😃Thank you for your comment...
I'm a bit sorry for my too fast pace 😅.
Eikofuji, I sometimes find it heavy too, but I think the nigori type is quite easy to drink 🥰Morinokuma-san loves it too 🐻.
Hello ichiro18 😃Thank you for your comment 😃.
I'm not a fan of cold weather...💦Spring is still a long way off but I'll be eagerly waiting for it with Dawn Wings 🙏 That said, I do love winter nigori when it comes to sake...🤣
Good evening, Hinahama-san 🌛I like Eikoufuji-san 🤤I remember seeing this one in a comment on GRAVITY 🍶It has a robust sweet and sour taste and I remember it being delicious.
Good evening HinaHanaMama🌝EikouFuji, I knew it, all the labels and names are chalet 😊Adult cream soda 🍹 how wonderful it sounds ✨I totally understand the habit of drinking too much and falling asleep when the sake is good 🤣.
Good evening Nao888😄Thank you for your comment...yes! I've been letting this one sit until winter 😆Akino Wing is our middle of the road ‼️Nao888, please drink it for sure 🥹I think it will be on sale around February next year 🙏.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
+When I see +14, I'll gently put it back on the shelf 💦.
The -14 was drunk in one gulp with a big smile on my face 🤣 maybe the squid cue wasn't meant to be 😅.
(This is a continuation of yesterday's story.) We left Tochigi and went straight to a year-end party for drinks!
We started with a freshly squeezed Eiko-Fuji that we enjoyed last year👍.
Muscat-like fruity aroma!
The mouthfeel is fresh, yet round, calm, and smooth.
The elegant and juicy sweet and astringent taste like grapes was irresistible!
☀️
It has a clean sweetness and acidity 😊.
There is also a slight umami taste.
A little bitterness is also added in the aftertaste.
And overall, it is a refreshing drink that flows smoothly.
Maybe it is because of this mouthfeel, but it makes me think, "Wasn't Zebra like this? I thought it was thicker..." 🤔.
Is this year's Zebra different from last year's?
Or it's just a memory correction😅
Home drinking.
Today is Tuesday, only lunch from work break.
Today's drink is my favorite Eikofuji's first orikara.
When I open the cork, the sweet aroma of Ori sweet sake spreads.
The accompaniments are tuna, grilled chicken, and simmered vegetables.
When you take it directly to your mouth, you first feel the sweetness, which is cut off by spiciness and acidity.
The sweetness changes with the tuna, the spiciness with the yakitori, and the sweetness with the simmered dish, depending on the ingredients.
It is a delicious drink.

Hachitan-Nishiki, very light and refreshing for this brewer. For gold leaf. For a citrusy taste.

Polishing rice up to 50% Gohyakumangoku, the ginjo aroma is both gorgeous and elegant. Strawberry- and lychee-like aroma.
Clear, transparent mouthfeel with a balance between the umami of the rice and the sharpness of the aftertaste. Bitter aftertaste.
