I was curious about the bottle because it looked like a cider, so I tried it. I thought it would be light, but surprisingly, the spiciness came afterwards. The alcohol content is 13%.
This was the first time I drank a "hiya-ori" (not hiya-oshi) but an "akiagari" (autumn harvest), and the taste was much mellower and rounder than I had imagined.
Soukai Junmai Sake
Refreshing, thick, and peculiar. It's not a simple sake. It is an odd kind of sake. Dry and dry. It is a summer sake, but it is strange that it does not go smoothly. Burnt aftertaste. Smoky. Not much umami. 83 points

This is the first time for Mr. Hideyoshi.
We were told that this was a tank-bought PB from Jizakeya Ohta in Akita.
This one is cold 🍶.
The top aroma is sweet, typical of daiginjo-style sake.
The first aroma is a sweet aroma typical of daiginjos made from Yamada-Nishiki.
I guess it has something to do with the polish, but it's like Yamadanishiki when it comes to daiginjos, but the flavors are pretty similar and I feel like I'm missing something 🤔.
I thought that since it is a small brewed sake, they should give it an edge.
I'm sure you'll say you're the one who drinks only perverted sake 😅.
Thanks for the food ✨
I had a BBQ with people at work,
I bought this during my business trip to Akita.
It's not too strong and it's very easy to drink.
There were more than 10 people there, so it was gone in no time.
Rich umami mouthfeel! Thick sweetness, wild umami. The mouthfeel is gentler than expected, making you forget that it has high alcohol content.... It has a strong punch, but it goes down your throat so well that you may end up drinking too much of it!
