Another delicious sake with good balance!
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 ✨.
Purchased at a liquor store in Akita Station
It is very well-balanced and easy to drink.
It has a nice acidity with a nice sharpness, and the lingering taste after drinking makes you take another sip.
It is a summer sake and has a high alcohol content of 17%, which may be due to the fact that it is a pure sake, but it also has strength.
It is a sake that can be enjoyed with fish as well as meat.
We paired it with bonito sashimi and canned mackerel stewed in tomato sauce, and it went well with both, making it an all-around great sake.
I have had Akita sake before, but I had never had it before because I was always looking for something else, but I really liked it.
It is very tasty!
