3. blue abyss from Oku-Shimizu, using Misato Yuki-Hanashi yeast. It is sweet and fruity on the palate, with a floral flavor that may appeal to different tastes. As is typical of daiginjos, it is clean and well-rounded, but not boring. Yamadanishiki, Junmai Daiginjo, 40%, a gift.
Okushimizu is the last of the Akita Shun Ginjo. It's a sake that I've never had before, but it's not too sweet and it's light, with a slight acidity that makes it easy to drink. It's not too sweet, but light and easy to drink with a bit of acidity. I was satisfied with this sake, which was suitable for the last round.
This was the last of the Akita Shun Ginjo, but we had never had any of the sake before, and there were many that we would like to repeat. I hope to have the chance to taste them again next year.
Akita Jun Ginjo 2021 Okushimizu
Faint sweetness and acidity from a round mouthfeel. Slight pear feeling. A lingering bitterness and a sense of alcohol.
Okushimizu Junmai Ginjo
Akita Jun Ginjo
Light and a little spicy? was my first impression.
The sake level was minus 1, but I didn't feel any sweetness.
I thought it might not be my favorite type of sake, but it was much easier to drink than I thought, and I finished it right away.
It seems to go well with sashimi.
Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 Part 1
The last of the Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 will be Okushimizu. This is another brand I've never tried before. The main feature of this sake seems to be the use of cherry blossom yeast collected from the Yoshino cherry trees in the town. Another feature of this sake is the use of "Menkoina" rice from Akita Prefecture.
Being a cherry blossom yeast, I was expecting a cherry blossom aroma, but I didn't notice any. The taste is characterized by a rich sweetness. It's not a fruity sweetness, but rather a mouthful of sweetness that reminds me of soy sauce and mirin. It also has a unique alcoholic flavor. I think it is a friendly drink, like a relative's uncle drinking it with his evening drink.
Incidentally, some of my friends who were drinking with me said this was easier to drink than the first Kariho I drank. I tend to be swayed by name values, so I was deeply reminded of the importance of opinions without preconceptions.
Hello, Umineko-san 😃 Thank you for all your help 🍀-Akita Shun Ginjo ✨You were able to purchase it! So_FFFC! I didn't get it 😭It's still a beautiful label ✨ The flavor is very clear and I am reading and enjoying it 🥰.
Thanks for your comment, Mariponu! Akita Shun Ginjo seems to have sold out quickly. I read a tweet from President Sato of Shinsei and bought it immediately. I hope they do it again next year because there seems to be a lot of people who couldn't buy it this year!
It's too late to start talking about it after it's in the news 😅I have to keep my antennae up ☝️I think the planning ability of this Akita prefecture is great! Some of the prefectures have been cracked, lol. Really! I'd love to see you do it again 😄.
