Akita Sake Enjoyment Party in Akita
The 5th glass: Asakura
This was the first time I drank this sake.
It is made from a sake rice called Hoshiakari, which was developed in the 1990s by the Research and Development Center of Tohoku Electric Power Co.
It is dry (+2), but the natural sweetness and umami of the rice makes it not feel so dry.
It is the most sake-like sake we had at the event (the other was Amanoto Junmai Hoshiakari brewed), and it tastes good even when it gets warm.
I would like to pair it with nabe (hot pot) or simmered dishes in the cold winter months.
The pairing with Kayaki was great!

Full of acidity. After the peach aroma is squeezed out, it is backed by dryness and apricot bitterness. A three-dimensional, lively feeling.

Kawabata Sakenabitei in Akita. A-Sakura super delicious dry. It has a little sourness and dryness, and the umami taste rolls around in the mouth and comes slowly. Mackerel stewed in miso goes well with it.

I got it when I went back home.
It's been about 10 years since I've been to Sakura.
The spiciness of the sake is not defeated by the sweetness and sourness. Sake degree +2? I feel more spiciness than that 😳 It's also the spiciness from the high alcohol content. In addition, there is a feeling of heat in the throat and stomach 😅.
Is this what you call classic taste?
If so, what goes well with it is orthodox Japanese food! I prepared mackerel simmered in miso and chicken saikyo yaki😋.
Both matched as expected, so I'm satisfied!

Shuffling when opening the bottle
No gassy feeling
Slight aroma of banana and rice malt
After the same aroma as the first sip, a firm umami of rice and a calm sweetness spreads with a soft acidity, followed by a weak bitterness and the spiciness of the alcohol.
The impression is that it is not too sweet for its sake strength, and the umami of the rice and the crispness make it easy to drink.
It went well with Genghis Khan, grilled vegetables, and grilled corn.

Good evening, MasaakiSapporo 😃.
I see it's a nice sharp sake to go with Genghis Khan... I went to Hokkaido but didn't eat Genghis Khan, but I did eat Tokibi 😅I would like to eat Genghis Khan next time ✨.

Good evening 🌙Sapporo has many jingisukan restaurants, so it's hard to decide which one to go to 😋.
