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...
Drank it on Halloween. Slightly schwarziness. Gutsy and thick, soft and slightly mellow. It is sweet, sour and fruity. The alcohol content is 16%, but I didn't feel much alcohol and kept on drinking.
It's not what I expected from a summer wine.
Looking at the bottle and the name, I thought it would be refreshing and light with bubbles.
I didn't expect it to be full-bodied, with a citrusy aroma.
It has a rich rice flavor, and I felt some lactic acidity once when I was a little drunk.
In the mouth, the flavor is very strong, with a high presence, and it's very smooth.
The finish is also very present and well integrated.
