An expensive sake purchased on order.
The aroma has a slight alcohol smell.
When you drink it, it has a sour taste, but you can also taste sweetness!
It has a heavy but clean aftertaste.
I like it!
It is a gift!
Plenty of malted rice. Put it in a barrel.
Isn't this whiskey? It smells faintly like it.
Take a sip. Yeah, it's not whiskey... is it? It's sake!
My first experience. Yum!
Akita sake today! I bought a bottle of Akita Juginjo, which is done by the Akita Sake Brewers Association. The requirements are to use Akita rice, and the water and yeast are also from Akita! So Junmai Ginjo 😄 comes randomly with sake from Akita breweries. Last year we got Shinmasa, so I was hoping for the same this time! But this time there was nothing I was looking for (tears).
But I am looking forward to seeing some new sakes! This time it was sake from Kinmon Akita. This sake is made by Kinmon Akita, which specializes in the flavor of rice. The aroma is mild, like blue cheese or green bamboo. When you drink it, the sweetness is moderately bitter with a strong umami flavor. The aftertaste is also refreshing. The aroma made me think it would be heavier, but it is very easy to drink and tastes great without any alcohol. It is not a modern sake, but it is a calm sake. All Akita's sakes are delicious 😄I realized how high the level of Akita's sakes is.
Good morning, Sashu 😃.
Akita Tour Ginjo! How many bottles are coming?
Even if you don't have a favorite 🥲, you might hit the jackpot 🎯 for the first time 🤗Akita sake is really good 😋.
Hi Jay & Nobby (^o^) I ordered a set of 3 bottles this time 😄 I can choose the number of other bottles as well. Akita sake is very good and of a high level even if I don't know it myself!
Sourness. Aged like? Full-bodied taste. The color is flaxen. It has a little bit of a habit, but it's easy to drink. My cat is very interested in it 😆🐈.
Set of two "Akita Megaginjo" sake gachas arrived yesterday.
This is an interesting event in which sake from 28 breweries in Akita Prefecture are randomly sent to you, and you can discover popular sake such as Shinmasa, Yuki no Bijin and Isshaku Suisei, as well as other local breweries with a strong local flavor.
A bottle of Akita Fuji Sake Brewery's Akita Sake Komachi was a classic bottle!
The aroma was matured from the top, but the taste was not too peculiar, so it was easy to savor!
However, the price has been raised so much compared to last year that the cost performance has become much worse, which is troubling,
2022 3-bottle set, 5,000 yen including shipping
2023: 5,500 yen for a set of 2 bottles including shipping
Rice polishing ratio：Koji rice 55%, Kake rice 40% (100% Akita Sake Komachi is used)
Alcohol content: 16%.
The aroma of aging, the flavor is not bloated, and the umami is quickly released. Soft and long aftertaste. It is very good. With pickled ginger cheese and grilled squid

This sake I chose
X3 or χ3?
X3, apparently.
When I tried to take a picture of it, what came out was a very fresh sake.
I wondered if it was a very sweet sake?
No, no, no, it wasn't.
It's sweet, it's tasty.
But it also has the body of a sake, like yomeishu, if you will.
Rather than drinking it as it is, drinking it with something to go with it makes the sake go further
Highly appreciated by my friends
extensive knowledge
This is a special junmai sake with three times the amount of koji used as usual.
It is a well-balanced sake with rice flavor, sweetness and acidity.
Classification: Junmai-shu
Rice / Mencoina
Rice polishing ratio/70
Alcohol content/-15.6
Sake degree/-25
Acidity/2.6
Yeast/straight-colored yeast
Sake? Western sake?
Amber color like whiskey. A strong aged aroma like western sake or old wine. The attack is thick, with strong acidity and sweetness. The aroma is like pear and sesame, and the strong sweetness is felt near the throat before it finishes.
It has an impression of a more intense flavor than the Amefall that we recently drank. I drank it on the rocks, but it still has a strong flavor. It seems to be a good match for an after-dinner drink such as Cointreau.
★★★★
Sake-Maru's next Akita sake is Junmai Ginjo Yojo-no-Hoshizake
Daisen Sake Brewery Unified, it says on the label.
It is a collaboration of Akita University, 5 sake breweries and Daisen City!
It is also fruity and sweet!
Freshly baked egg omelet!
They are huge!
A little sweet egg omelet with sake!
A combination I haven't had in a while!
This is also a great combination!
Knowledge
Using Akita-style flower yeast, it is characterized by a good balance of soft flavor and sharpness. It is refreshing on the palate, with aromas of apples and melon spreading in the mouth gradually. It has a long, lingering finish with a pleasant aftertaste.
Rice used: Akita Sake Komachi
Rice polishing ratio 55
This collaboration and other sake breweries are as follows
Shuyooshi Junmai Ginjo Yojo-no-Hoshiyo
Dewazuru Junmai Ginjo Yoi no Hoshiyo
Chiyoroku Junmai Ginjo Yoi no Hoshiyo
Kariho Junmai Ginjo Yojo-no-Hoshiizai
Second drink at the second izakaya in Akita. I ordered it because it was described as being made with three times as much koji and sweetened, which I thought was unusual. （I thought it was unusual, so I ordered it.) It was an interesting sake because it was full of umami and tasted like old sake, like amazake, like Shaoxing sake. It was delicious.
