Souvenir sake from my trip to Iwate-Aomori 😆 Crisp, with a strong acidity like a sake yeast yeast yeast yeast. It is crisp and has a strong acidity, as if it is a sake made from sake yeast. When ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) is paired with it, the acidity is softened and the flavor is delicious. Also paired with shabushabu-shabu (bean sprouts) from Owani Onsen, a souvenir of my trip to Aomori, Iwate.
Wakaba Sake Shop, which was introduced to us at the Badalone restaurant in Hanamaki, was a wonderful store with a wide selection of sake and detailed explanations ✨.

The aroma is not what you would expect, but it has a sweet aroma. It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity in the mouth. ‼️ It tastes light and refreshing with a hint of rice ear flavor. This is delicious 😋.
Now, let's try it with roasted chicken 🍗. The savory roasted chicken skin flavor of the chicken enhances the sweetness and deliciousness of the sake with a hint of the Inaho taste of this sake👍.

KabA new brand from Iwate Meikozo.
Start with a cold bottle. It has an apple-like aroma.
When you drink it, the bitterness like lychee or seekwasa starts up first, and then it turns into bitterness like alcohol or rice smoothie. Bitter rather than a fullness of flavor. Then, while the orange-like sweetness opens up a bit, the bitterness turns to pungency and sputters away.
Because of the bitterness, on the contrary, it goes well with stir-fried green bell pepper and eggplant, or cucumber and konnyaku with vinegared miso. Just right for Vegetable Day. Oshu City is famous for green peppers and cucumbers.
After the second day, the initial bitterness mellows out and becomes better, giving the impression of bitterness from sweetness and flavor. Was it hard on the first day?
At 40℃, the lemon-like acidity is quite strong, but the bitterness disappears and it mellows out; at 45℃, the citrus-like acidity is not so strong, but it becomes sharp and pungent, and this temperature is probably the best.
It is rather complex with bitterness and acidity, but I personally would like to see more balance in this type of sake.
Will this new brand be a success? 熊谷 朋之Good evening, Mr. Kab! (^^)/
Iwate Meikozo is one of the breweries that are getting a lot of attention right now.
I hear that they are challenging themselves in various ways, especially by young brewers.
I would like to find and drink this brand too. (^^) KabGood evening, Tomoyuki Kumagai😄.
This time it was at Takahashi Sake Shop.
Okuroku has the first Yamahai at this brewery, and I am also interested in the friendly rivalry between the brewery and Iwanoi Shuzo.
I will keep an eye on it. アーロンSlightly apple-like fruit aroma.
The mouthfeel is full of clear, smooth acidity and deep rice flavor.
The sweetness is modest but certainly juicy, and the beauty flows smoothly and irresistibly from the mid-palate onward.
It is a wonderful bottle that makes you want to drink it while nodding your head and thinking, "This wine is made with clean air and clean water! RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
