It is the most fruity of the Ushizukuri series.
It has a melon-like aroma, and the mouthfeel is sweet with a hint of bitterness, and the rice seems to be polished to the same level as a daiginjo. It has a sweetness that is in line with the sake degree. If there were a nama-shu version, I would like it even more.

We received a set of 7 single-bottle bottles, so we will drink them.
Let's start with this one.
I will drink it cold.
The color is clear and slightly yellow.
The top aroma is of grains and a strong, volatile alkali aroma.
The mouthfeel is slightly torrid with a discreet acidity.
The nose has a soft alkaloa and caramel-like aroma, and the palate is slightly nutty and umami. After swallowing, the umami expands with the tanginess felt on the tip of the tongue.
The aftertaste is crisp and classical, with a strong tangy and sharp sake taste.

A Drink at My Parents' House
Takashimizu is booming at my parents' house these days.
Soft and easy to drink
Slightly sweet and umami
It has a refreshing aftertaste whether it is heated or warmed up.
Drinkable like water after Masumi's Nama-zake
It is a sake for those who love ordinary sake!
Opened today✨
You can feel the richness in your mouth and the spiciness comes in the aftertaste and refreshes you. It is very easy to drink and goes very well.
It has become cold again today, so I really wanted to eat soba noodles, and tonight's dish was,
Kabu and broccoli salad
Chicken soba noodles
I don't have a picture, but this is the sake I drank at a company party.
It was delicious with a refreshing sweetness.
The restaurant is an izakaya where you can enjoy tuna to the fullest. Sashimi of various parts, kama-yaki, chuboroshi... all were delicious and made me too happy! I was so happy!
I also ordered some albacore, which was so delicious I couldn't stop drinking sake (lol).
Opened today✨
The aroma was fresh and quite rich.
It felt very rich. Very tasty.
Fresh sardines and rape blossoms were on sale at the supermarket, so tonight's dish was,
Sardine simmered with ginger
Deep-fried tofu with rape blossoms
I was so impressed with the Takashimizu I received last time that I ordered it from Akita Sake Manufacturing and it arrived today. (Part 2)
This one is also made with Rokugo-yeast and brewed in Yamahai style.
I am looking forward to seeing what kind of food I can pair it with.
I was so impressed with the Takashimizu I received last time that I ordered it from Akita Sake Manufacturing and it arrived today.
It is freshly pressed last November.
It is said to be the basis of modern ginjo-style brewing,
Rokugo-yeast and Akita-style cold brewing.
The note says, "The aroma is gentle and has a strong presence.
We are looking forward to drinking it.
