AKABU Junmai Ginjo Amber
My favorite autumn sake from AKABU is now on tap🍶.
The usual sweet and juicy taste with an added mellowness.
It has a deep taste that you can enjoy with any snacks.
It is delicious. I love Akabu's interpretation of autumn sake.
Akabu's seasonal sake, one of last year's excellent seasonal sake. We were glad to have it again this year. It has a characteristic acidity and is easy to drink with a stable sake quality.

This is the second bottle of sake with my two brothers-in-law. The rice is 35% polished from Iwate Prefecture's premium sake rice, Yui no Kou. It was brewed at a low temperature for 3 hours. It has a gorgeous apple-like aroma with a hint of fragrance. The fruity sweetness and sharpness are wonderful.
Is this the first time you have purchased new sake? A petite fizzy feeling. Apple-like aroma is rather subtle.
When you drink it, it has a sweet, minty, apple-like taste. There is a faint umami, a hint of bitterness, which turns pungent and finishes with a kick.
The sweetness is somewhat subdued and surprisingly sharp. I personally prefer a little more umami, but I expect it to change after the second day.
Corks open at noon before Christmas.
Clear with acidity and moderate sweetness.
The fizziness feels restrained.
It's a Swiss Chardonnay and really tasty!
It would go well with a Western-style Christmas dinner instead of wine, and of course, it is good with Japanese food as well.
I drank it with curry at lunchtime, so I'm going to enjoy it at night.

Rating 4.4
Rice used: "Ginga" from Iwate Prefecture

This is a freshly squeezed, freshly bottled, seasonal sake. It has a fresh taste and well-balanced finish unique to this time of year. The aroma is fresh and sweet, reminiscent of apples.
A light mouthfeel with a gaseous sensation. The juicy flavor spreads gorgeously from there. The gentle, deep sweetness, beautifully rounded acidity, and a hint of bitter flavor blend together to form a wonderful balance. After swallowing, it gently lingers on the palate with a sweet aftertaste.
Perhaps because it has been aged for some time, it is not so gassy, and the sweetness is heavier. A rounded feeling. Middle-bodied.
Good evening, it's almost Xmas🌲🎅 season, but I failed to capture this year's example, so I'm posting this one that looks like it 💁.
AKABU SPARKLING GALAXY 2024✨🫧🌌.
This is Sparkling Galaxy, my personal favorite drink from Akabu 😊 It's so normal now that I'm pulling myself away from it, but it's from a year ago 😅.
Opening the bottle was very peaceful 😌.
As usual, the sake is still beautiful 🤩 with its beautiful bubbles & ginger as it pours into the sake cup.
The aroma is not flashy, but it has a mild cucumber aroma, with ripe aromas of Japanese pear and caramel.
The attack is already delicious at the time of the shwashy texture on the tongue 🎯, but the juicy melon and pear flavors and the nuance of eating grefrul with white sugar as a child also give it a full-bodied taste of maturity. However, the overall taste is bitter and dry, and you still feel like you're drinking a real Champagne 🍾, so it's easy to drink and still delicious 😋😋😋😋.
Thank you very much for the food 💮😋😋😋.
It has a mild aroma with a hint of freshness, but when you put it in your mouth, it is fresh, gassy, sweet and delicious at the same time 🍶The fruity taste of green apple, pear and melon is also good👍It is always delicious sake, but when it is freshly squeezed new sake, it is even more delicious and great ✨I am so happy to be in Japan where I can drink sake! Japan is a lucky country to be able to drink sake like this 😊.
This was my first time at Akabu at a sushi restaurant.
The sake lineup was amazing, but I had never had it before, so I chose it.
It had a fruity aroma and flavor but not too heavy, I really liked it. I want to drink it again 😋.
