AKABU I wanted to try again, and this time it was a raw sake with a sword mark! It must be delicious, I thought! So I bought it and chilled it for a while. Here we go!
The aroma is citrusy and refreshing and surprisingly mild, and when you include the mineral and fine brewing water, it has a juicy sweetness and saltiness, with a core like a Japanese sword and a beautiful acidity. It was a strange world where lightness and chemicality like ramune and sweetness like freshly cooked rice coexisted. It was like a strong mineral Shinshu Kamerei. Well, it is certainly good! The new sake season is just around the corner! I'm going to drink a lot of sake! Thank you very much for your hospitality tonight!
Home drinking. I always write this when I'm in Akabu, but it's sake from my hometown, lol.
It is easy to drink too. I bought it online from a certain sake distributor, but to my surprise, it was a bottle and a half (lol) instead of 720 after I ordered it. As usual, I love it fresh and drink it hard, lol.
Birthday post-birthday celebration at a small restaurant in Joetsu City (5).
I met AKABU again.
And F is alsobe, isn't it?
In contrast to the seisonal AKABU, it has a ginjo-style alcohol taste and a clear, light flavor.
According to the master, many customers in Joetsu prefer light sake, and he tries to offer a selection of light sake in his store.
The food is simple but carefully prepared and goes well with all the sake, so I was impressed by the thought that went into it.
I was taken to Sake Koi Japan for a pre-birthday celebration.
Since it was before Halloween, the sake lineup was also set up accordingly.
First, let's take a look at the sake. Here it is.
It's not every day you come across AKABU in Niigata, so you can't miss it.
The freshness and a fruity sensation reminiscent of oranges fills the mouth!
As expected of a representative of the modern popular horseman, the unfiltered, raw, overwhelming presence of the wine!
But when I looked at the bottle, there was no mention of unfiltered or even unfiltered draft.
I checked and to my surprise, it was fire-aged.
Too scary.
It would be difficult to drink this and not think it is unfiltered nama sake.
I wonder what kind of process is used to make such an intense taste.
Now I have a reason to go back to my hometown...
