Thin and cloudy.
It seems to have a strong flavor, but it has a sharp taste.
but it also has a sharpness.
It is a well-balanced sake that you can enjoy drinking.
Continued, forgettable.
Asahi Sakae is brewed by Sagara Shuzo in Iwafune, Tochigi City, southwestern Tochigi Prefecture.
This is also my first time.
It is not easy to find a local brewery, but I had checked it out since it was introduced on YouTube by Mimasu Sake Brewery.
It was produced in March 2024 and has an alcohol content of 16%.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%.
The aroma upon opening the bottle is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, it is light, yet thick and smooth.
A smooth sweetness spreads in the mouth at first, but the overall impression is one of bitterness.
The lingering aroma remains and has a pleasant sharpness.
When tasted on its own, the bitterness is a bit strong.
As a food sake, the bitterness is not so bothersome.
Hello, Daddy Takel 😃.
Congratulations on your first Asahi Ei san ㊗️ 🎉!
It's a delicious sake 😋I'm glad to hear it was featured on YouTube 😄.
Let's show our love for Tochigi 🥰😆.
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😊.
This is a great opportunity for me to try some 🍶 from a local brewery in Tochigi 🥰.
Your introductions are also helpful.
I got it on a trip to Nasu🍶 This is the first time I have had Asahi Sakae.
Fruity aroma of muscat, slight greenness in the gentle sweetness and acidity, clear throat and sharpness. It is refreshing but has a strong alcohol taste. I will enjoy it with a little fatty sashimi👍🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟.
Hi Yuki 😃
Congratulations on your first Asahi Ei-san ㊗️ 🎉You got a good souvenir 🤗.
I'm sure you'll love the combination of fatty sashimi and Asahi Sakae! It's a definite combination 😙.
Hi Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your message...
I've found another great sake from Tochigi😊Every time I discover something new🍶, I'm looking forward to my next visit: ❣️

Mr. Touji of the Sagara Sake Brewery in my town😍.
"I'm from my hometown ❣️"
Really? ‼️
Oh, so you're from Fatty?
No, I'm near Fatty.
"Oh, really? That's really close. ❣️
We had a great time chatting.
I've had a drink at Asahi Ei several times, but this is the best place I've ever had a drink.
but the one I had here was the best I've ever tasted.
I felt it was the most delicious one I've ever had.
No wonder 🤭!
It was poured by the master brewer 😆🙌
And next!
Mifuku Brewery of "Bald Father's Hidden Sake" ❣️
Tell them we met at an event in Utsunomiya two weeks ago.
I told him that I had met him at the Utsunomiya event two weeks ago.
I said, "The portrait on the label is of your predecessor, isn't it?"
I told him
Yes, that's right😄.
You can meet him if you come visit us at the brewery.
I'm working fine.

Good evening, Tsubu-chan 😃.
I remember that Alanin-san said that the toji of Asahi Ei is very beautiful 🤗I agree when I saw the picture 😊Although he is not as good as Nobby 🤣.
Good evening, Pon😄
We both thought the same thing...😅I'm afraid of making assumptions 〰︎🤣I'm really sorry 🙏😂.
Everyone was happy when I told them I'm from Tochigi and 🙋♀️😄♪
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊.
Yes, you said 😙 that ☝️ is very beautiful 😙 🤭 I had seen her in pictures, but she was really beautiful in person😍.
But! Jay you are the best Nobby 😆💕.
There are a number of sake in Tochigi, but which sake is on your mind right now?
Well, Asahi Ei!
It was featured in a certain magazine as a sake brewed by a female toji, and I had a chance to buy it!
So I opened the bottle.
The nose is a bit subdued.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the beautiful umami of rice. The taste of rice is very beautiful on the palate, and when you swallow it, it is very clear, calm, and pleasantly smooth. The description on the back is true! As the temperature changes, the umami spreads further. When cooled, the impression is a bit sharp, but as the temperature rises, the umami of the rice comes forward fully.
There are many delicious sake in Tochigi, but this Asahi Ei is also irresistibly delicious 😆.
Thank you ✨
Good evening, Mr. Ankake 😃.
Asahi Ei! We met them at our local sushi restaurant 🍣 and I remember the owner was a big fan of their sushi and it was delicious 🤗It's been a while since I've had a drink at home 😋.
Love Tochigi 🥰 Please use it 👋
Jay & Nobby Asahi Ei was surprisingly easy to drink and tasty... ☺️ I'm sure the general is a big fan. lol There really are too many delicious Tochigi sake! Love Tochigi!
