Akizuka from Osaka.
It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, but it is quite a sharp one. Serve with Manganji peppercorns.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 70
Sake meter rating: +10
The ginjo aroma is gentle and calm. Subdued aroma of melon and rice.
The umami is firm. Although it is dry, the acidity is high and the sharpness is very good.
It is a well-balanced umami and dry type of sake, with a mellowness that comes from the aging process.
The sharp acidity stands out and gives the impression of being crisp and dry, but with time, the umami flavor seems to increase....
The lingering finish is long and the umami and acidity linger pleasantly.
When drunk at room temperature, it has a gentle mellowness that is also delicious.
*/ Unknown type/ Dry?
When I came to eat okonomiyaki, which is on the Michelin list, I found some sake from Osaka, so I ordered it, but it was too lukewarm and hard to drink.
I'd like to enjoy Osaka's sake at a different place.
From Akishika, a famous sake brewed in Nose, Osaka, comes the seasonal product "Junmai Ginjyo Super Dry, Tamboshio Shizukumi Shirakumi".
It is made from carefully selected Yamadanishiki rice polished to 60%. It is a seasonal, super-harsh junmai ginjo-shu made with carefully selected Yamadanishiki rice polished to 60%, and bottled directly from the tank with a sake strength of +15 or higher, making it exceptionally hot.
It is easy to drink, but at the same time, it has a robust feeling, which is completely different from the sake I have had in the past.
Before drinking this sake, I mistakenly drank a 41% rice shochu (rice shochu) and got a throat infection, so I am now trying again.
So, maybe my impression is a little bit unclear about the taste of Aki-Rika...
First Osaka sake 😊 ripe Uetate is like a banana 🤔 fluffy soft sweetness and a little sourness. It has a light richness and a crisp spiciness. It is light, classical and easy to drink 😘When heated up, the spiciness increases and a pleasant hint of aroma is released. It is a good food sake 👍The second day, the spiciness decreased and the roundness and richness increased. It is best served chilled, but I think hiya is the best way to drink it 😁I got some sesame mackerel and freshly made cod roe from a business trip to Fukuoka ◎.
Good morning Jay & Nobby 🌞The first deer was delicious 😋It was easier to drink than I expected and I almost finished it. Feels good to have a good first 🍶😆😆.
