On the second day of the New Year, we opened our first bottle of AKABU F NEWBORN‼️
I thought I could put one bottle in the corner of Lemacom, so I bought it right after it went on sale with the feeling of jumping off the clean water stage, but it turns out that storing it in the corner makes it harder to take it out...
I was finally able to take it out after the increased speed of consumption during the year-end and New Year's holidays 😂.
Now, this is my first F, and since it's a newborn sake, the fresh and vibrant aroma of a newborn sake rises to the surface, raising my expectations ✨.
The first sip of this wine, while it is beautifully crafted as you would expect from AKABU, is surprisingly light and easy to drink, much more so than I had imagined 🥂.
The refined, urban impression is complemented by an exquisite sweetness that is somewhat nostalgic and a bit unrefined 😚.
Thanks to this sweetness, I did not mind the alcohol angle at all and felt the overall balance was very well put together. I was very satisfied with the deep nostalgic finish, which made me look forward to drinking it every night without getting bored even with a bottle ✨.
AKABU Happy New Year
A really delicious sake from the New Year.
Not too hot, but not too sweet.
The aftertaste is just so refreshing.
The difference in sharpness is amazing.
2026.1st.
Happy New Year!
This is the first sake of the new year. The bottle is too cool, and it is a new product from Akabu, perfect for the New Year.
It has an apple-like fruity flavor that is typical of Akabu, but with just the right amount of sweetness and fruitiness, with a beautiful mouthfeel and a fine taste.
The flavor is perfect for the New Year and is a sake I would like to purchase again next year and beyond.
It has a more elegant taste than Akabu's usual sake, and although it is over 3,000 yen, it was worth it.
I hope to have many more delicious sakes this year.
Also, for various reasons, I will be looking for good sake from Okayama this year lol.
If you have any sake from Okayama that you would like to recommend to me, please let me know and comment lol.
Thanks for the treat.
Happy New Year, Ryohei! We look forward to working with you in the New Year 🐎.
I see you started the New Year with your first release, a New Year bottle of Akabu: ☺️ is wonderful 🤤.
I look forward to your posts about sake in Okayama 😊.
We received Happy New Year from Akabu.
It is a new product that was newly released this season.
The red on white background is festive, with red and white plum blossoms casually decorated, and gold lettering adds a touch of glamour. The bottle design is perfect for a table lined with New Year's dishes.
The taste is also elegant and gorgeous.
It has a light, refreshing mouthfeel with a fresh fruity flavor. It goes down the throat smoothly without alcohol and seems to soak into the body without any resistance.
Its transparent flavor makes it a good match for sashimi served with soy sauce, soups and stews with dashi broth, and its sweetness and acidity make it easy to pair with Western-style dishes such as roast beef and carpaccio. It will accompany your New Year's table not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of pairing.
The drawback is the invisible bottle and the ease of drinking.
You can drink it easily + you can't see how much is left, so it is inevitable that you will drink too much.
I wanted to try a sake with a Christmas name on Christmas Day🎄.
This sweet and refreshingly sour sake was made by a young master brewer. I could feel the umami flavor even at 13 degrees Celsius. It also has a gaseous taste.
I received the items purchased on Christmas Eve on New Year's Day.
Very clear taste. The aroma is refreshing and mild, yet gorgeous.
We had it with osechi dishes, raw oysters, tuna and sea bream sashimi.
Next, here it is... I forgot to take a picture 🙇!
I also opened a bottle of red wine before this, so this is my fourth bottle, so I'm in a drunken mood 🤣.
I don't need to tell you how good it is 🍶.
It's a Junmai sake, so it's a good value for money 🥳.
😃This is the check-in I received last January 😄💦.
🍾Sparkling still makes me nervous💓🔰😅I was able to open the bottle without blowing out 😅👏The crown after opening is neither a stopper nor a screw type so you need to drink it up or prepare a separate stopper😆.
🤗The taste is pleasant with pear-like aroma, very beautiful shwash🫧 and acidity, creamy taste of origami, not too sweet, and good sharpness after drinking 🤗It was a very delicious sparkling wine with the taste of Akabu 😋.
Label: 🏷️
Difficulty: low😍.
I soaked it in hot water and peeled it off with a scraper and it came off beautifully👍

From the sweet fruity banana-like aroma, the carbonation and freshness that comes from the moment you take a sip, the sweetness of the rice gradually spreads throughout your mouth, melting and disappearing like ice cream, leaving a crisp, refreshing aftertaste.
Since it is a popular brand, I bought it last summer and kept it for a while because I didn't want to waste it, but it is so outstandingly delicious that I can't feel any deterioration at all!
Since it's the New Year, I'm going to savor it with a little expensive sashimi as a side dish.
Happy belated New Year ☺️
Best wishes for the coming year: 🙇♀️
First sake of 2026 is AKABU's GALAXY Sparkling✨!
The stopper is a crown type.
When I lifted the stopper a little with the corkscrew, it spilled a lot💦.
It's like it misses a little gas and then opens a little again and spills again 😅.
After overcoming all that, pour it into a glass...
It's a light cloudy sparkling wine✨
It smells like sweet melon and banana.
When you drink it, it tastes like a sparkling wine, but the creamy taste and bitter aftertaste make it seem like it's not a wine.
Delicious ❤️
We had it first in a champagne glass and then in a SYUWAN.
I found it tasted better with SYUWAN because I didn't feel the bitterness in the aftertaste as much😊.
Happy New Year, Mr. Rurun 🎍 and best wishes for the new year 🙇.
New Year's Day with Akabu's Sparkling Sake - the perfect toast 😍.
I'm looking forward to meeting new sake this year 🤗
Happy New Year, Mr. Rurun 🎍 and I look forward to working with you in the new year: 🙇♀️
Nice sake to start the new year with 🤩I wish I could have had it 🤤.
I hope we can find good sake for each other this year ✨.
Rururun, a happy new year 🎍.
The crown type sake is gorgeous and shows off SHUWAN's true colors 😍.
Let's find our favorite sake and make this year a good one 🍾.
Happy New Year to you, ma-ki- ✨Please keep up the good work this year: 🙇♀️
I missed opening the AKABU Sparkling 😅.
Let's enjoy each other's sake activities this year too😊.

It's a sweet shuwa shuwa to start the new year off right 😊.
Let's enjoy the sake life together again this year 🤗
Happy New Year to you, Mr. Chirsta ✨Please keep up the good work this year: 🙇♀️
It was the first time for me to try the crown type.
I was at a loss as to how to handle it, but I managed to finish it without incident 🤗.
Let's enjoy drinking again this year ✨
