Aged for 5 years in the Isshaku Suisei brewery from the 2017 Harvest, this sake is said to be aged in ice temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.
The aroma reminds me of gentle white sugar and sweetness like canned white peaches. There is also a slight raw material aroma like rice cakes.
The taste has a smooth texture with a somewhat powdery mouthfeel. The sweetness is subdued and the attack is refreshing, but from the second half, the flavor develops with acidity. The lingering finish is tangy and slightly bitter. The ice-aged sake has not undergone any Maillard reaction, and if one were not told, one would not think it had been aged at all.
Sake from Isshuikusuisei is generally clean and refreshing, with a firm sharpness in the latter half, but this one has a juicy umami aftertaste. Whether this is due to aging or NEXT5 is unknown.
April 6: The third bottle.
Some kind of sake that I wouldn't (or couldn't) buy myself, one after another.
It's a lucky day.
I drank it in a wine glass, but there was almost no carbonation, and it was refreshing with little sweetness.
After a while, it tasted sour and almost like a white wine.
I drank Isshaku Suisei from the same series
but the Shinsei version
but the Shinmasa version
Is it a characteristic of the sake brewery?
It seems to have a lot of acidity.
The first impression when you first drink it is mellow.
As time goes by, the flavor spreads and becomes richer.
Personally, I think it is my favorite among the five types.
Each brewery made their own rice, unifying it with the Akita rice "Koudou Shinkou," but it was very interesting because of its individuality.
And the bottles are so stylish!
Sake meeting with senior sales staff at AKATSUKI NO KURA.
We had a heated conversation about how to nurture a rich sense of inner values from now on.
Next five is a collaboration of five different Akita sake breweries.

Sake with a refreshing taste, easy to drink, and in line with recent trends. The bottles are so beautiful that it is hard to believe they are sake bottles.
Sake that looks good.
Looks like my son is finally fully healed 😆👍.
It's been a long time since Christmas 💦.
I'm so glad that he's recovered from the gastroenteritis caused by the adenovirus ❓.
At least we have one last bottle of premier sake in our house‼️.
I've never had next5 or Ippakusuisei before 🤗.
Anyway, I can't get rid of this bottle because it looks so stylish 💦.
So let's open the bottle!
The aroma is fruity and the taste is sweet and delicious 🍎, and the acidity is beautiful, so it's easy to drink and refreshing 👍It's more suitable for a mealtime drink than a stand-alone drink 😄.
Good evening, Koizo😄.

Hi Masa 😌.
I see that the adenovirus also lasts quite a long time. I'm worried if it's too long, but I'm glad you're completely cured. The blue next5 is really cool ✨It's pricey but... 😅I'll have to use the bottle for something 🤔.
Good evening, King of Noodle and Sake😄.

Hi Masa!
I'm so glad your son is completely healed 😊.
I heard that Color's by Ippaku Suisei is delicious 😆💕I love the blue 💙 bottle ✨I have a 🤍 bottle of Yuki no Bijin that I can't throw away 🤣.
I was in a lottery sale at sakenomy.
Does it have a certain amount of acidity?
I've never had a lot of Isshaku Suisei, but it's pretty easy to drink.
but it is quite easy to drink.
But it's only 3,800 yen!
Is the bottle price too expensive?
Well, it's an event, so I guess that's how it is.
