Ube Sato is only available in Akita Prefecture.
Thankfully, when I was in Akita, I came across it and bought some!
It's not fresh sake, but I was worried about how it would turn out since I carried it under the hot sun for a day even though it requires refrigeration.
The aroma is of peaches, green apples, melons, and all sorts of other things that come to mind, but with a fresh, fresh feel.
The taste is fresh, sweet and sour.
It is made from Akita Sakekomachi with a milling ratio of 30%, and is an elegant version of the Ecru. You can enjoy the richness and complexity of the flavor without the muddiness of Ecru. It is a superb sake that you can enjoy drinking alone.
When I compared it in a Junmai glass and a Junmai Daiginjo glass, I found that the top of the Junmai glass was more open and diffused, like a factorization. You can feel the sourness, the swooshiness, and the bitterness separately.
On the other hand, the Junmai Daiginjo glass is shaped like a wine glass. The flavors are well balanced and concentrated. A refined, complex and broad world view.
A paradise to savor slowly.
The after taste is refreshing and pleasant.
I stayed in the Akita station area and had a drink at a standing bar in the station building. It has a lactic acidity, a soft sweetness, and a light flavor. It's a good balance of everything.
A bottle given to me by a younger colleague.
Steady fruity, melon like aroma.
The aroma is light in the mouth and then disappears quickly!
It is delicious!
It has a crystal clear taste, but the acidity is pleasant and very tasty. It is a little more expensive than other sakes, so we are happy that it is easy to buy at sake stores.
Shinsei Shuzo Shozo, Ikimasa Junmai Sato Uhei. The first time I knew this sake when I went to Akita and entered a liquor store. Very gorgeous and easy to drink, goes down smoothly. If it's not limited to Akita, I would always keep a bottle in the fridge.
