Slightly sweet aroma of pineapple and banana
The same soft aroma as the first sip, with a modest sweetness and fluffy rice flavor that is relatively small in comparison to the aroma, and spreads out with a little but crisp acidity.
The first half of the bottle has the strength of the raw sake, but the finish is quicker and drier than the first half. It is interesting in a different direction from Hanayuup from the same brewery.
It is easy to match with meals and tastes great on its own.
It went well with hamburgers and Japanese soup.
Happy New Year!
I bought a bottle but failed to drink it at the end of the year, so I had it again at the beginning of the year.
As I expected, it has an aromatic and fruity flavor typical of Akita. However, it is not thin and is very drinkable.
I found a delicious sake at the beginning of the New Year.
This is a standard sake from Ryoseki Shuzo, a famous brewery in Akita, famous for its Hanayu.
This sake is brewed by polishing Akita Sakekomachi to 50%,
It has a well-balanced flavor, with a gorgeous, robust sweetness like peaches, yet it does not linger and has a good sharpness.
