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.
Good evening! 🙋
This week, the weather has been sunny and even has the atmosphere of early summer in the coastal area of Iwate Prefecture.
Someiyoshino and weeping cherry trees are over, but yaezakura (double-flowered cherry trees) are in full bloom, and azaleas have started to bloom as well.
As the temperature rises, stink bugs, a.k.a. hexer bugs, also appear and it is very difficult to get rid of them. 😅
Well, I'm a little late, but here is an update on the family get-together for a drink.
It's hard to make opportunities to drink together, so our style is to give them a bang-up good one when we can fit it into our schedule.
But this time, we also want to drink wine! We have two brands of sake to satisfy the request of "I want to drink wine this time, too!
The first sake we opened as a toast was Akabu's AIR.
I am a sucker for limited editions, so I managed to get one and served it to everyone. 😁.
One sip and ah, it tastes like an "adult rumney soda".
It has a light mouthfeel and the acidity is so good, I always wonder how they can make such a variety of flavors of sake.
It's so delicious~, and while I was saying that, it was empty in no time. 😅
It was very delicious! 🎉
Tomoyuki Kumagai Good evening 😊It's nice to have a family drink. And first of all, Akabu AIR! It really is "Adult Ramune", isn't it? Hats off to Akabu for their competence.
A bottle that is truly a cross between the passions of "expressionist and brewer".
This is the second collaboration sake by dancer Yuta Nakamitsu and young master brewer Ryunosuke Furudate!
This year again, Nakamitsu actually entered the brewery and participated in the entire process, from rice washing to pressing.
This is a bottle of sake that conveys the message from the bottle, "We are not just lending our name to you.
The rice used is "Ginginga," locally grown in Morioka.
In the mouth, the clear, supple sweetness that is typical of Akabu spreads gently,
By the time it slides down the throat, it has a sharp sharp sharpness and an elegant lingering taste.
The aroma is soft and gentle, and even first-timers can easily get used to it.
It is a sake that lives up to our wish of "bringing sake to those who are new to the market.
The deep lapis lazuli-colored bottle bears the dignified brush strokes of "Nakamitsu" and "AKABU.
It is a beauty that should be displayed rather than consumed.
It was a soulful collaboration sake, perfect as a gift or as a reward for yourself.
The moment I opened the bottle, I was convinced that it was a delicious sake with an apple? s aroma convinced me that it was a delicious sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel its fruity taste.
Despite being somewhat sweet, it has a clean aftertaste and is really easy to drink!
All in all, a perfect sake that I highly recommend!

Is it umakuchi fruity?
It is quite tasty, but the price is too expensive.
Good for occasional drinking!

Last of our spring sake...
It should be ///////♥️
Light enough to drink on its own.
A little gasiness remains, but not so much that you can feel it on your tongue.
Refreshing sweetness and acidity that is on par with the beautiful blue-ish color of the bottle.
Thinking of the fleeting 🌸 that we didn't get to see much of this year
I thought this lightness would be great for a picnic!
