Cold: The wine has a slight tanginess at the beginning, followed by a rich sweetness and umami that is very tasty.
I had it at an izakaya during a trip to Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture.
I managed to obtain a bottle of Akabu's new brand, a bottle suitable for the first sake of the year 2026. It was a silver world today because of the snow that had been falling since New Year's Eve. It was a delicious sake, not too sweet, with a delicate acidity.
I drank a lot of sake at my parents' house, but this will be my first sake of the year at home living alone!
Of course, the year 2026 will start with this sake from Akatake!
If you are offered such a perfect sake, you have no choice but to drink it at the beginning of the year, right?
It has a fruity atmosphere typical of Akabu, but the taste is a little more subdued.
It is a bottle that you want to drink slowly, as you can gradually feel the delicious flavor of the rice.
AKABU 2026HAPPY new year
I chose this one for the first bottle of this year.
It has a gorgeous aroma. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and very beautiful.
It was a different and luxurious taste from the shwashy, fresh taste of new sake!
This is the one this time.
It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of "AKABU".
I got a little excited for New Year's Day!
The bottle was opened immediately... Mild but beautiful fruity aroma... White grape-like aroma. Then I took a sip...very beautiful (*´-`) and nothing stuck to it. There is not much sweetness. The acidity and pleasant bitterness give it a sense of refinement.
3.5 stars
Today is a sunny day and I feel fine ☀️, however, the snowfall ⛄️ is amazing 😅.
Let's start with the standing aroma. You can feel a hint of citrus freshness and gorgeous ginjo aroma. When you take it into your mouth, you will feel a refreshing and pleasant sweetness and umami.
Serve with Kabako crab cakes. The mellow mouthfeel, the aroma of the crab and the flavor of the soup stock bring out the mellow aroma and the sweet and savory taste of this sake even more👍🤤.

Next was Akabu who sold the New Year bottle for the first time this year. I wanted to get this one because my brother was coming too, but it was hard 😅I guess because so many people wanted to see what it tasted like, it was sold out so fast that I finally got it 😊.
The aroma is typical Akamu with apple and citrus notes. The freshness is solid. The Junmai Daiginjo😊is very beautiful and I am in love with it. It is a little different from the usual Akabusan, but delicious. I don't usually drink Junmai Daiginjo so I feel it is very tasty...a bottle suitable for the New Year.

Fruit and mozzarella go well together.
It is a good way to start the year,
It was a bottle that made us feel the opening of a story.
The aroma and taste may vary from person to person.
Please enjoy the contents of this post as my personal impression only. l
The first shot of the New Year! AKABU Junmai Daiginjo🍶!
The aroma and taste are very mild. The moment you taste it, it has a slight tanginess that is typical of AKABU, and it also has a citrusy flavor. It is not as sharp as junmai sake.
Junmai sake is probably the best AKABU sake, but not necessarily the most expensive.
But, as I found out after comparing them, AKABU is generally tasty.
A-3
There is a feeling of gas
There is a slight odor.
