The first Kakuemon, commonly known as Pinkaku.
It has a strong melon flavor, fresh and powerful.
The alcohol content is 17%, so it has a sharp taste, but it has a nice sharpness and is good as a food sake!
I was shown to the counter tonight.
Cold storage behind me too!
I was curious about the sky blue label 🟦 here.
Akita sake!
Wow, this is so good!
I'll have to remember that!
I wonder how much I could drink this day in an hour!
Let's speed up ⤴️!
I realized later that it was my favorite flavor because it's Association 1801!
(from a book by a friend of mine who knows a lot about the subject)
Rice: Miyamanishiki
Polishing ratio: 55
Yeast used: Association 1801
Sake degree: +2.5
Acidity: 1.3
Alcohol percentage: 16.5
It's been a while since I've had one of these, but here's my impression.
It has a sweetness, but it has a nice sharpness.
I haven't drank too much recently, but it's been a while since I drank too much, and today was a lazy day with a little stomachache 🥲.
I'm sure you can find a way to make this drink as good as it tastes 😅.
Kakuemon Pink Label
I heard it is commonly called "Pinkakku".
As the label explains, it has a melon-like sweet aroma and flavor, with a fresh gasiness and a bitter aftertaste.
The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is unique and addictive.
It is easy to drink and you will drink it, but be careful not to drink too much as it has a high alcohol content of 17 degrees!
