Fruity and slightly gassy. Sweet and easy to drink, but a clean bitter aftertaste pulls the whole thing together.
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 15
It has a firm acidity that is reminiscent of grape juice, with a delicious rice flavor in the background, and a restrained yet robust ginjo aroma. The aftertaste is clean and very, very delicious. I love it.
Today's dinner drink is 🍶.
Akabu Shuzo
AKABU SNOW 2025 EXTRA Nigori Namaishu Junmai Sake
The bottle is reminiscent of snow.
Sweet and sour with a clean aroma ✨
Rich gasiness. Not sweet and sour as I imagined from the aroma, but light and refreshingly sweet. Some acidity. The aftertaste is long. Saliva flows out one after another 😆.
The slight bitterness gives it a good balance 🥰.
One of the best summer sake I've ever had from Akabu!
It is refreshing, slightly sour, and low in alcohol, so it is easy to drink and at a level where it is gone in an instant.
It was slightly similar to Shinmasa in taste (though not as sour as that one).
I would definitely buy it again next year if I could 🎵

Sake party.
It was made in December last year, but we missed the timing to open the bottle, so we opened it at this time when it was getting hot.
Second fermentation in bottle. Nigori. Sparkling. Low alcohol content. Easy to drink. But the Nigori gives it weight, which is good. It is good for a toast.
It was highly appreciated by the ladies.
