The first time you taste it, you will be impressed by its umami.
The richness and freshness of the umami taste comes, and it is tightened with a little spiciness.

This is a Miyagi Prefecture limited edition sake purchased at the Akiu Village Agri Forest during a trip to Miyagi Prefecture last year,
This is a collaboration between Urakasumi and Ichinokura.
Urakasumi and Ichinokura collaborated, and I heard that Saura Shuzo was in charge of 2024, while Ichinokura was in charge of the first stage of 2023. I had information about it, but could not purchase it. This is the first time to buy it.
The rice used is 100% Sasanishiki.
Polishing ratio is 60
Alcohol content is 15 degrees Celsius.
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is faintly fruity.
The sake poured into the sake cup has a smooth, slightly yellowish taste.
The first sip reveals a slight rice flavor that spreads in the mouth, followed by a slightly strong acidity. The spiciness and bitterness come after that, but disappear quickly and crisply. A light, dry taste that I have been enjoying recently😍.
I heard that the 2023 ver. led by Ichinokura was full of umami.
I hope there will be a third version, but I have high expectations.

Here is the rice!
I didn't notice much aroma...
The color is a light golden brown.
The taste is very much like sake, with the bitterness coming first and then spreading to the back of the throat 😊.
I had it cold today, but I think it is best served at room temperature or hot.
It is the perfect sake for a meal 👍
Today's pairing is
Dried river clams 💕
This goes well with 👍

The rainy season has not yet started in this area, but it rained. I bought this sake for the first time. I had it with yakitori (grilled chicken), a recommended menu item that came with the bottle. The label says it is a junmai sake with a fresh aroma that spreads like a fresh green breeze and a delicious rice flavor. My impression was that it was as delicious as usual.
