Rice polishing ratio: 55% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice
The first sip after opening the bottle reveals a fruity aroma and sweetness like green apples. As the sipping progresses, the fruitiness disappears and the umami and richness of the flavor increases. It is good as a food sake. Among the sushi items we had together, there were sea urchin and salmon roe. It did not go well with toro or shrimps.
Refreshing sake. The aroma is faintly sweet. There is a gentle acidity and sharpness that spreads bouffant while also being mellow on the palate. The aroma spreads in the mouth anyway, and a good balance of sweetness and bitterness like a soft drink is asserted!
The text color of the Hakusen label is also nice. I am worried about the damage from the earthquake.
I had an image that sake made with white malted rice would have a strong acidity and become a white wine-like sake, but this was a betrayal in a good way.
The acidity was not so strong, and the umami flavor was strong.

Business trip to Akita No.11
We had a bottle of Mutsu Hachisen Nouveau that we purchased at Sake Navi Akita Marugoto Market.
The new sake has a freshness that is unique to the new brew 😊Beautiful acidity and juicy fruitiness 😚👍✨The rice cake is intertwined and mellow 😘The sweetness, umami, and crispness are well balanced and delicious 😍.
The 4th picture is a superb oyakodon of Hinai Jidori chicken at Honke Abeya 🐔🐣🍚It was a very tasty bowl of rice topped with a rich chicken flavor 🤩!
I'm drinking at a restaurant outside, Mutsu Hachisen Red Label, which is rare... ♪ I had a beer at a restaurant for lunch today, too.
It has a yellowish tinge to it, and when you drink it, you can feel the sweet aroma softly wafting into your nose, and the aftertaste disappears in no time at all! I have loved this taste since I started liking sake! It's so delicious, I think it will be gone before the first item arrives.
With assorted sashimi, raw oysters on the shell, thick fried tofu, and burdock tempura!

The fresh fruit-like aroma is promising even before you drink it.
The fruity feeling does not spread in the mouth as much as the aroma before drinking.
I have the impression that the light aroma of koji and its sharpness stand out.
I guess it is dry. I think it goes well with any dishes.
This week is our wedding anniversary week, so we opened a bottle of Mutsu Hachisen from Hachinohe Shuzo, which we have not been able to open for a while!
This time it was the 250th anniversary bottle!
It's been a while since we've had a bottle of Mutsu Hachisen, so we're looking forward to it! I'm looking forward to it!
Let's enjoy it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It has a fresh and sweet aroma.
In the mouth, there is a refreshing umami and a hint of sweetness.
After that, the taste shifts to a full-bodied sensation, and the lingering aftertaste is a firm bitterness.
I don't know what it is about the bitterness, but it is easy to drink and tastes good.
However, after the second cup or so, it started to feel heavy and I got tired of drinking it.
Maybe I wasn't feeling well.
Fourth day.
Chili, alcohol and fruity? Sweetness and sourness? Various tastes are rushing in at once!
The bitter aftertaste lingers in the mouth.
The aftertaste is quite long, and the astringency and bitterness are so strong that it is different from a simple refreshing taste... I have the impression that my stupid tongue has exceeded the limit of catching the taste.
There's a strong bitterness even when it's served with a meal.
I like the lingering bitterness, but I personally prefer a more gentle bitterness.
But even with that, it was a delicious sake!
Hi ma-ki-😃.

Good morning, ma-ki-🌞Congrats on your wedding anniversary 🎂I was aiming for the Hakusen Anniversary Sake but couldn't bring you 😭apparently the bitter taste was impressive and mature 😅the sweetness of the two of you is just right 💕
Thank you Nao888!
I'm curious about Hakusen's commemorative sake 🎵.
I happened to see it sitting in a liquor store and was delighted to get it 😁.
It was more bitter than I imagined, but I guess it was just right for us 🤣.
