I personally think it is a little sweet...but I can feel the delicious taste of the rice...it's so good 😋I'm enjoying it with fried sea robin I caught the other day...little by little.

It's been a while since I've had an Akatake... I'm not a big fan of nigori, but the aroma is fruity rice, and the taste is just as sweet as it looks. This is a dangerous drink with 13 degrees of alcohol, but it goes down easily.

The smell is reserved and reminiscent of pineapple. The flavor is rich, reminiscent of pineapple and green melon, and when you roll it around on your tongue, you can smell the juice. The sweetness is not strong, and the drink is clean and smooth. As the temperature rises a little, the juicy taste expands, and each temperature range gives a different impression. It is delicious!

Modern aroma. When you drink it, a rather thick umami-driven sweetness emerges, mixed with bitterness, and then slowly recedes to a sharp finish. There is almost no alcohol. The umami is well-defined, but it does not have much impact on the palate.

I've been drinking uncontrollably since mid-week this week. So this week we are drinking AKABU by Akabu Shuzo! This time it's a Junmai sake NEWBOQN! It's been a while since I've had an Akabu - I'm looking forward to it! Let's have it right away! The first day First, the aroma. It has a fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you will be impressed by its smooth and beautiful mouthfeel. The taste is citrusy and refreshingly sweet. The aroma is also refreshing. The saltiness, slight richness and umami are also good! This is easy to drink and delicious! It is a very refreshing sake with not so much bitterness and pungency. My wife also said it was easy to drink and delicious! Day 2 Today, it has a refreshing sweetness and a full-bodied flavor. However, I can also taste some bitterness from the middle to the aftertaste, which gives me the impression that the balance has changed. The fruity aroma of citrus fruits that wafts through the nose is also good. When served with a meal, the umami comes to the fore and it is also delicious! Well, I've recharged my energy with delicious AKABU tonight, so I'll be able to work hard for the rest of the day! 500CI

Halloween Red Wu 🎃 which was delicious last year. The aroma is surprisingly rice-like. But it also has a nice aroma of citrus acidity and apples 🍎. When you taste it, you will feel a slight chilli sourness permeate the taste, followed by a soft sweetness, which suddenly condenses into a thicker, more concentrated flavor. It is like a sphere with pleasant acidity and a slight bitterness. The end result is a spicy aroma and throat 💪. The clear mouthfeel makes it easy to gobble up! Speaking of Monster, this slow and steady 🎢. It might be my favorite of the season Red Takeshi. Happy Halloween to everyone, even if it's a little late! 👻

About 3 days after opening the bottle, the corners were removed and the umami flavor After about 3 days from the opening of the bottle, the corners are removed and the umami flavor becomes more pronounced. It is a delicious sake.

Iroha Ni Hohe" in front of Morioka Station Sashi-Drinking with Friends from Maker Days When I was a student, I entered Irohani Hoho. After toasting with 🍺, we ordered akabu because it was available. I don't remember what it tasted like because we were talking so much... It was easy to drink and a little sour. Easy to drink and no memory of the taste is a good thing! It is indeed Iwate's No.1 sake.

I went for another one, a Junmai Ginjo from AKABU. I had already had a ginjo from one of Iwate's representative breweries, but this was my first junmai ginjo. This sake is also fruity, crisp, and delicious. It is easy to understand why it is recommended for young people, as it certainly does not have a strong alcoholic taste. It can be served as a balanced sake, but it is also delicious on its own. I felt that it was a good choice for a mealtime drink. If there is an opportunity, it would be good to prepare it for evening drinking, but first, I would like to consider it as one of the missionaries to young people, lol.

I've let it accumulate for a while. I'll have to post them soon. So, back in September, I had a little drink after work. I went to my recent favorite restaurant, Inagaki. They pour enough to fill a glass. I was attracted by their spirit. I took a sip and found it to be fruity. Melon? I also feel a slight carbonation. The acidity is refreshing. The bitterness gradually tightens up, but it's nice. It is still delicious.

The one I wanted to try once because of a certain drama. Usually dry! I usually prefer is my favorite! But when I had a sip Fruity but not sweet! A new world! I thought it was delicious! I want to drink it again when I'm not tongue-tied. It's that kind of kiroku. 🙈. F for for you.
