Makiki is a sake made from Takachiyo's Uonuma-grown sake rice.
It is the first time for me to drink it.
It is a sweet sake with a bit of bitterness.
It is more robust than Takachiyo.
At first, there was a strong lemon-like acidity and a tangy gasiness. It was a delicious sake with a strong lemon-like acidity and a tangy, gassy feeling at first, followed by a considerable umami flavor, but it was light and refreshing on the palate, and finished off with a refreshing finish.
As one would expect from Takachiyo, there is nothing missing, even if it is not Hiragana!

Juicy feeling. Not too flamboyant so you don't get tired. ☺️
The end is a good kick. Finished in a flash💦.
Goes well with fresh peppers & mayo or pickled kipper.
It is said that in snow country, there is a loud thunder sound around December as if to wake up the snow, and this sake was pressed at that (thunderous) time of year.
The rice is flat polished and washed with microbubbles.
As soon as the bottle is opened, a ginjo aroma wafts through the air. Mild and slightly fruity aroma.
A round and deep umami spreads across the tongue with a very small amount of acidity.
Ummm, delicious ^ ^ ^.
This time it is Maki-hata TSUBASA.
Maki-hata is another line of Takachi-yo sake, which is derived from the fact that Takachi-yo Brewery is located at the foot of Mount Makiki-yama, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains.
It is served well chilled.
Crystal color.
The top aroma is sweet, with a bright fruity aroma of strawberries and ripe apples, with a freshness of ramune.
From the refreshing, fine, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, the fruity sweet and sour taste reminiscent of strawberries flows with a cool rummy feeling, and the fresh, gentle bitterness gives it a good sharp taste.
The fruity taste is mild because the alcohol content is kept at 14%, and the umami of the rice can be clearly felt.
Perfect for acclimatizing to the heat of summer ✨.
It's been a while since I've had a Takachiyo type.
The Makiki was pleasantly balanced, not too sweet and not too light 😊.
Refreshingly fruity and easy to pair with Japanese food.
The barcode is 🍶 and cute😍.
Today we will be having a makiko purchased at FURUMAIYA at Kawasaki Station. The name is difficult to pronounce 💦 It is from the Takachiyo Sake Brewery, and I was torn between the Takachiyo label and this one, which has a lower alcohol content.
This is the first time I have had it. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma. On the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and umami flavor that disappears. It is easy to pair as a food sake 🍶 I have paired it with Japanese dishes such as simmered burdock root and carrot, stewed eggplant and zucchini, etc. and it is delicious. It is delicious. The deliciousness of the rice is very strong.
I would like to pair it with grilled fish. Delicious✨

It's Children's Day, so we drank it as adults.
I thought the packaging looked like Takachiyo, but it was a different brand from Takachiyo Brewery 🤭.
I didn't study enough😅.
I thought this one would be light because it's 14% alu, but it seems a little deeper than Takachiyo's 16% alu 🙄.
It has a similar fruity taste, but it's more of a "light and delicious" 🤔.
It's also refreshing and seems to be more widely accepted than Takachiyo which has a stronger flavor ☝.
