On the palate, the first thing you notice is the acidity and fruity aroma, followed by an elegant sweetness. The sweetness lingers in the aftertaste, but it does not last long. It is not enough in a good sense and makes you want to drink another glass ^_^.
It is a very delicious sake.

Sake that I knew the name from magazines and columns but could not get easily
I found this one and bought it for the first time!
It wasn't that special, but it was certainly a delicious sake!
Fruity taste
It has a refreshing taste and is easy to drink with a clear eye.
It is not dry, but tasty and delicious.
It's hard to find any other Akabu these days except for the standard ones, so I'll try my best to get some next time.

Rating 4.3-4.4
Rice: Iwate rice, Polishing ratio: 60%, Alcohol: 16%, Sake degree: +1, Acidity: 1.6, Yeast: Iwate yeast
A pleasant fruity aroma and a beautiful, fine-grained sake quality. The lingering aftertaste is neither too long nor too short, creating a well-balanced sake. While fresh, it is easy to drink with a moderate finish. It is excellent as an everyday sake. After a few hours, the melon and muscat flavors become sweet and smooth.
The aroma is not so strong, but when you drink it, the sweet and sour taste is strong and refreshing.
The acidity is strong, refreshing, and easy to drink. ‼️

Sake full of strong rice flavor
We are very grateful for the recovery from the earthquake and tsunami. We will continue to support and love drinking it.
The hot days are still continuing, but the season of autumn sake has arrived.
The first autumn sake we welcomed this season was AKABU's Amber. We were able to purchase it again after last year.
The raw material rice is Iwate rice
Polishing ratio is 50%.
Alcohol level is 13%.
Yeast used: Iwate yeast
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is soft, gentle, sweet, and calm, with a gorgeous fruity flavor like fruit or yogurt.
When poured into a sake cup, it is almost colorless, with a very pale, transparent color and a light, smooth texture.
When sipped, the low alcohol content makes it soft on the palate, and a refreshing acidity and juicy, apple- and muscat-like fruitiness spreads in the mouth.
As for the taste, the rice-derived flavor and light sweetness are well-balanced and fluffy, with a mild alcohol taste, while the sweetness like muscat or white peach disappears moistly, while the refreshing acidity tightens up the taste. Bitterness and astringency are barely perceptible.
The freshness as a new sake is rounded, and the balance of mild acidity and rice flavor is harmonious. The soft aroma and moist, subdued flavor make it a hiyaoroshi sake.
Personally, I find it tastes better at room temperature.
Hello, Daddy Takel 😃.
Sake season is turning into autumn sake🍂 a little earlier than usual and my fridge is turning orange 😌.
Heated sake🍶 looks delicious too ☺️
Hi Jay & Nobby😃.
Thank you for all the rice 😊.
I look forward to drinking autumn sake because it adds depth to the flavor...this time I purchased a bottle so I can enjoy it both cold and warmed.
