This is a limited edition sake from a liquor store in Yokote city, made from a rice called Gin no Sei.
It has a very strong sweetness when you drink it. It also has acidity, but it is not sweet and sour, it has a very good balance. However, what I think is great about this sake is that the sweetness disappears in the aftertaste and the bitterness remains. It is unique and I love it.

This is indeed a Junmai Daiginjo-shu.
Immediately after drinking, you can feel the sweetness in the mouth.
However, the alcohol content gradually comes out later and it becomes crisp, so the sweetness does not linger in a good sense, which is very delicious!
Dewazuru, from Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, this is a rare first pressing of a first-brew sake at this time of the year.
Fresh and slightly gassy, it has both a melon-like fruitiness and a full-bodied sake flavor. The acidity, bitterness, and dryness on the palate combine to make this a delicious sake. It was just the flavor I wanted to drink, and it exceeded my expectations.

Sake with a refreshing aroma and a bright acidity and umami that complements food, especially fish.
🍶This is a memorable brand that brings back fond memories of the days when I learned the joy of selecting sake by examining it at a private liquor store. Everything was cool to me back then: the blue of the bottle, the cool and simple swordfish design, the stellar taste that I had never heard of before. I have just met it again in my collection of Akita🎆 sake, and it is still steely cool now that I've been drinking it for a while. The deep umami that sinks in delicious chilled.

As usual, I was going to finish after 1 hour and 12 sake, but it was a bit disappointing to finish with the honjozo!
I found another one that caught my attention, so I'll finish with this one.
Swordfish label.
Junmai Daiginjo!
Let's finish with this!
I thought it would be deliciously sweet because it was so nicely polished, but it was crisp and refreshing!
I thought I've had Dewazuru a few times before, but this was my second time since I had it at Fukurokuju after playing golf last year with Bec and Mexico Tequila 👀.
We ended the day with a rare encounter!

The aroma is moderate, the sweetness is moderate, and the spiciness of the well-balanced alcohol spreads quickly in the mouth along with the modern taste of acidity.
Not too strong nor too weak, it is a delicious and perfect accompaniment to a meal.
Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one. When the bottle is opened, it has a slightly sweet aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel it on the tip of your tongue. It has a robust taste, with a sourness followed by bitterness. It is different from when we tasted it. I thought it would be more fragrant and easy to drink. A sprinkle of salt on the expensive tomatoes I received as a gift brings out the sweetness and umami of the sake, and it goes well with it. The cucumber and pork with ume plum paste also brought out the sweetness, but the bitterness did not disappear. Stir-fried summer vegetables and pork also go well with sake, as the sake helps to wash away the oil, but the bitterness is still there. To counter the bitterness, I poured olive oil over the tomatoes, and bingo! The bitterness of the sake was calmed down and the dish turned out to be delicious! I enjoyed the marriages today as well!
At a nearby bar.
It was a bit heavy because I was comparing it with Tsukiyama.
I thought it was a little heavy because I was comparing it with Tsukiyama,
But it was much more refreshing.
It is delicious.
On the first day, it was served a little high and cold. The aroma is reserved, but when you take a sip, it is full of sweetness and freshness. Sweet, sweet, sweet.
From the second day, it is served at about 4℃. The sweetness is present, but the slightly spicy aftertaste is distinctive. Delicious!
I heard that it will be used for a limited brand in the near future, but I can't reveal it due to adult circumstances. Looking forward to next year!
