Having just had Wakanami, I wanted to try it again. This time it was Akatombo from Wakanami Shuzo, which is said to be quite popular. After drinking a variety of sake, I learned that hiyaoroshi is very good!
The aroma is mild and gentle, with a hint of rice straw. The round, soft water is more rounded than Wakanami, and the sweetness of the water, like that of ramune, is a little less pronounced and milder, which is my personal favorite. It also has a slightly salty flavor, but I may be mistaken. The slight sweetness and strong flavor of Japanese pear soaks into the body. I love hiyaoroshi because of the sensation of this calm flavor seeping into the body. Then the astringency came later and flowed down the back of my throat along with the sharpness. I think I prefer it to Wakanami because of the sweetness of the ramune and the saltiness of the sharpness. I still don't want to believe that summer is over, but why don't you try Akatombo and let autumn come to you? Thank you again for your hospitality this evening!
Today we have a special junmai sake "Dragonfly" from Fukuoka's Wakanami Shuzo: ❗️
The aroma is slightly fresh and sweet❗️As you take a sip, you feel a tingling sensation on your tongue and a sharp astringency❗️And a refreshing mouthfeel reminiscent of nama-shu❗️Great sake❗️I would love to drink a nama-shu or unfiltered nama-shu from the same brand❤️
Another stop on the trip
Wakanami, a brewery that is one of my favorite breweries.
I was so impressed when I saw the dragonfly because there is no special distributor in Hiroshima 🥺.
This year we caught beetles, stag beetles... and even dragonflies: 🕸️
The aroma is not that strong, but there is an initial umami taste plus acidity😍.
The alcohol is not too strong for a special pure sake, and the sharpness is as expected of Wakanami...fire-aged special pure sake?
I'm very impressed with the price and the year-round series with this flavor 😭
I regret that I should have had 4 gou 😫.
Bottom of the bottle.
Green apples and white flowers.
Juicy with!
Light syrup, fruity-sweet. Fresh acidity.
Slightly chemical and cotton candy flavor.
Milky rice flavor from the first sip.
Moderately light and summery texture from start to finish.
4/5 stars for my taste.
Also at Kadoya-san
A customer canceled the reservation on that day.
We felt a connection with him and took him to the restaurant.

Muscat aroma, chili, and melon 🤔.
It is delicious with a sweet and umami taste due to the orikara flavor!
The spiciness is refreshing at the end.
On the second day, it became sweeter and melon-like.
The third or fourth day, it becomes even sweeter, like a melon!
So delicious! ❣️
Compared to the Wakanami I drank before this, this one was sweeter and more to my liking.
I would like to drink this brand as well as Wakanami 😊.
Hi Ponchan 😃
I've posted a series of posts about Wakanami Shuzo, it's a true comparison. ❣️ Blue Dragonfly is a fateful encounter, and the refreshing light blue bottle is so summery 🎐👌👌and it's sweet and delicious with ogara-mi, I'd love to try it too 🥰.
Hi HinaHanaMama 🐦 I couldn't help but buy it when I saw it was cloudy.
I couldn't help but buy it when I saw it was cloudy 😆 I liked it even more because it's a summer sake but not dry type ❣️ maybe you'll like it too 😊If you come across it, please do 😉.
Hi Hanapin 🐦.
I don't like summer sake that much when it's dry, but this one was delicious with a hint of orikara and a touch of umami 😊It's been so hot lately that I'm starting to enjoy dry sake too 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan...when it gets hot, I want to drink something a little sweeter and fruity than usual 😆 Afterwards, I want to drink something dry and refreshing. It's nice!
Pon-chan, it's a real pleasure to compare the ☺️ Dragonfly label with the sweeter one here too ✨️ I somehow avoided the Dragonfly label, but next time I go to Kadoya-san, I'll take you there or ask the owner for some solid advice 😆.
Good evening, Pon-chan! I'm WOM, and besides sake rice, I also like insects. Dragonflies are nice, aren't they? Is the image of dragonflies friendly to nature? I would like to drink it someday too.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😃.
I see that Pon-chan was destined to drink it 🤗Kochira is sweet and tasty despite its refreshing appearance 😄Even we miss sweet and tasty after THE summer sake 🥹.
Hi Pon, ☀️
I remember this one from last year when we drank it outside and it was delicious 😚 and then we drank the Autumn Sake Red Dragonfly at home 😳 and it was very good too ✨Catch us in the fall 😆.
Hi mariage 🐦.
I'm not much of a summer sake drinker, but when it's hot like this, cool labels naturally catch my eye 😅I like sweet sake, so this one was right up my alley 😆.
Nao888, thanks for your help here 😊.
I thought this one was drier too 😅I'm only on my first bottle so maybe it's just a coincidence 🤔I'll try again when I find a different one 😁.
Hi WOM 🐦.
I see that you like insects too 😆 We have dragonflies in our yard since last week 😳I think they are earlier than usual 🤔.
I think they are made from a rice called Yume Issen, which is not in the bottle, but it is very rare 😊.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐦.
I thought it would be more refreshing, but it was sweet and tasty and just right for me 🤭I guess when I went to buy it, I wanted something a little more assourd 🤔I guess I was satisfied after drinking Wakanami 🤣.
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
I guess they don't have a lot in stock 🤔I thought it would taste a lot more robust from the writing on the label, but I was surprised at how easy it was to drink 😊👍
It's a bit oily so it's a must for you Yasubeyes! 😆😆
Hi Kotaro 🐦.
Thanks for the great information 😻I was wondering if it is easy to drink because it is a summer sake 💦I like autumn sake itself, so I will try my best to get red dragonfly too😊.
Pon.
Good morning♪
I also looked for dragonflies in Hakata but couldn't find any...💦blue dragonflies and red dragonflies...I wish I could catch at least one and drink it 😅I'd like to drink it even more 🤤 because of your high evaluation.
Thank you for this one too, kozo 😊.
I hope it's still too early for dragonflies in Fukuoka 😁I haven't encountered any until now, if I hadn't seen this one 😊I'll have to go on another bug hunting expedition in the fall 😅.
Praying for your capture 🙏.
Dragonfly found. I bought it because I had enjoyed drinking Akabontonbo at a tavern before. This is my first Blue Dragonfly. The bottle looks cool and suitable for summer. It has a little bit of nigori.
It is my favorite type of sake, with a nice aroma and a delicious flavor. It was delicious, with a nice crispness and a refreshing taste. The Dragonfly series is also available.
Dragonfly light mist.
This will be my first time to drink blue dragonfly.
Sake made with Yume Issen🌾🍶.
The top aroma is softly sweet with a nice fragrance.
In the mouth, there is a juicy sweetness of nigori and a refreshing acidity.
It is a refreshing sake perfect for summer.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
