The aroma is subdued and clean, like white grapes. In the mouth, a fresh acidity spreads. The slightly tangy acidity has a lingering apple-like flavor and finishes lightly.

Christmas 🎄× #Wakanami TYPE-FY2 Nama Sake
Fruity sweet aroma, freshly opened FY2-like numbing mouthfeel, but this time with a clear, thick umami that spreads three-dimensionally in the mouth, and then a slow pull 🥰.
Surprising and enjoyable, like a wave on the beach unexpectedly coming in knee-deep 🍶✨.
It's getting hot in Hokkaido, so I'm ready to open a bottle of Wakanami's Type-FY2 🍶✨It's only just opened, but this year's FY2 has a grapefruit-like acidity on the palate, followed by a slow and deliberate spread of flavor on the tongue 🌊.
Delicious 😋.
Wakanami's TYPE-FY2.
The malic acid derived from Fukuoka Dream Yeast #2 and citric acid derived from malted rice give it a broad, overwhelming acidity and a dry, crisp finish, which has become even more elegant with the change to use Fukuoka-produced Yamadanishiki!
Last night, I had a luxurious time with my students comparing two different sake brands, FY2 2021 and 2022, from Wakanami Sake Brewery. As I was explaining to them that even though they have the same name, there is a difference ✨and that it's a once in a lifetime experience 🍶, the students drank so much that I had to rush to get one for myself 😳The sake is always popular with the younger generation as well 😋.
2022-17 Welcome malic acid!
Following the 100th anniversary sake of Wakanami, we selected a local Fukuoka sake (although we bought it a few months ago). It has a refreshing image of summer sake, but we will have it as we approach autumn.
The first day: Yes, it's watery, but there's no sticking point, and it flows smoothly. It is easy to drink, but there is no lingering aftertaste, and it is not so bitter or sharp as to be dry. I would like to have a little more sweetness or bitter taste. Not a good match for 13% lately...
3rd day: No big change. No increase in sweetness or tastiness, just like a white wine. This was a starter wine to be chilled in the summer!
Day 7 It cooled down, so I heated it up, thinking it wouldn't be a good match, but it was quite good! It was deliciously sweet and acidic without being pungent.

★☆☆☆☆ / Cold sake
It has a softly sweet aroma, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering acidity that leaves a lingering umami taste on the tongue after swallowing.
At 13%, it is a little low in alcohol content, but it was solid and satisfying.
Third drink of Craft Sake Week.
A refreshing, acidic type of Wakanami that I had never had before.
Easy to drink, acidic and sweet. The aftertaste was crisp and refreshing.
Delicious!
