I bought this one after being told about it!
The person who told me said the Zero was better, but this one is delicious with a hint of sweetness!
I liked it a lot!
Ah, Christmas is over.
I guess New Year's Day will go by just like this.
This one was like sugar water, in a good way. It has little acidity, but it has a nice, mild flavor. It was a nice sake that did not tire me out.
Junmai Namaishu Orikagarumi Junmai Nakadori Ⅱ 65 Miyamanishiki from Aizu, 50 Yamadanishiki from Aizu
Slightly spicy. The taste is firm and the umami is well conveyed.
The aroma was very fresh, with a soft, soft sweetness spreading on the palate, and a pleasant bitterness coming from the back of the mouth, making the drink finish clean and smooth!
Merry Christmas✨
Today was a holiday, so I went on a sticker hunt with the kids and got some raw bone-in chicken thighs from the supermarket and braised them in red wine.
I had saved some for this day....
I saved the Tenmei for this day!
It's so delicious!
Sweet and sour, but also crispy!
Tenmei Junmai Namaishu Nakadori Zero.
This year, it has a fresh ginjo aroma with a hint of green before mixing in the oli.
When you drink it, the sweetness comes first, followed by a beautiful acidity and umami.
After mixing the oli, you will feel the same smooth mouthfeel.
When it is included, the sweetness and umami soften and the acidity gradually builds up from the middle to the front.
The freshness is good and the taste is beautiful.
This beautiful flavor is the same as every other year, and this year, while fading slowly, the gentle acidity and astringency leaves a slight aftertaste that goes well with food.
The slow lingering finish is really good, and the slight bitterness at the end is pleasant.
This year I think the sweetness is a little stronger. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Tenmei era (1781.4.2-1789.1.25)
Akebono (lake monster said to be one of the most wicked and powerful fish in Japan)
The label is fancy and nice. The taste is also very ricey. The first 2025 new sake brewed with very early rice.
The brewery's name "Akebono" comes from the passage "Haru wa Akebono" in "The Pillow Book" and "Tenmei" was chosen as a synonym for the brand name!
Akebono has a history of three generations of female brewers, which is rare for a sake brewery.
Since 2011, the sixth generation, Koichi Suzuki (male brewer) has led the brewery, which includes many female staff members, to create a vibrant brewery.
