Compared to Yamada-Nishiki, it has a firm and sharp taste. It has a clean and refreshing finish with a light aftertaste. It can be drunk smoothly and is a very easy-drinking sake.
We will enjoy a pair of Hououmida & Akabu in a sake comparison style, because the future of sake is the future of sake✨.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is rich with a wide range of flavors such as peach, berry, and chocolate.
The palate is clear, clean and refined.
It has a gaseous and refreshing taste, but it also has an elegant sweet and astringent flavor and a light punch of acidity and spiciness, making it quite rich.
In addition to the mellow, mellow core of chocolate, spice, and white peach, it also has a crisp sharpness, so it can be enjoyed with a good sense of crispness!
After a few days, the juiciness and spread of the sweetness increases, and you can't help but smile and say, "I've been waiting for this!
Hououmida" also lost its hardness from the first day and became smoother in texture!
It is as delicious as if it were blossoming 👐.
The taste is slightly acidic for Yamada-Nishiki. The overall finish is soft and mellow, but it also has a freshness that is typical of Akabu. It is a new aspect of Yamada-Nishiki that we think you will enjoy.
Posting No. 509.
Bought it in a bottle this year as well.
It has AKABU-like acidity and gentle sweetness. It is a very light and soft sake with a refreshing feel. It is very tasty.

Personal preference: ★★★★★
Clear and colorless, but you can see fine bubbles.
The aroma is subdued.
It has a slight gassy feeling like a bub floating in the bath, and the mouthfeel is very soft, with a round, mellow mouthfeel that has no spikes at all until the last drop. The sweetness of the milk chocolate flavor, which is closer to the rice flavor, sinks in.
Even if you guzzle it down, it is easy on the throat and you don't feel any alcohol!
Even though it is not a pure sake, the sweetness and exquisite acidity are irresistible!
It is fruity but has a strong umami flavor!
I imagined it to be lighter and sweeter, but it has a strong umami and astringency, yet it has a very nice sharpness! It is delicious!
It's great on its own, but it also goes well with many different kinds of snacks, and while it takes in the flavors, you can still taste the sake's umami, and the finish is clean and crisp!
It's a good all-around drink!
Rice polishing ratio→50
Alcohol content→15%.
Apart from drinking with my sons, I had some business to attend to and stayed in Morioka. I went to Yakitori and Mifuku as usual. 😁.
I don't come here that often, but there was still some Hyakushun in the fridge, so I thought, "Oh no! I thought, "Oh no!" and chose another brand. 😅
I went extremely orthodox and ordered a Junmai from Akabu.
The menu said Junmai Ginjo, but what came out was Junmai.
I thought it was okay and took a sip.
Yes, it has a beautiful sweetness and a slight sourness.
It is very tasty when served with tsukune, which I always order!
The counter was nice, but the air conditioner was blowing from above, so the one facing the kitchen was a little bad. I'm not sure what to expect 😓.
I think the usual window side is the right choice.
