A four-pack bottle costs 1,100 yen including tax. Too good to be true. The color is clear and the aroma is almost odorless. However, when you put it in your mouth, it has a full flavor that is typical of junmai (pure rice). The taste is clean and refreshing, with no hint of a tangy flavor. It has a classical flavor without any modern elements and is delicious warmed or at room temperature.
This is my first time drinking Akita's Asamai Sake Brewery ✨.
The frogs on the label are adorable!
The aroma is a little floral.
The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing.
Clear with no cloying taste.
Nothing stuck in the mouth, a delicious sake ✨.
Jagotaro means countryman, apparently.
The taste is around umami and pungency.
The richness of the umami in the middle part is mellowed by the oriki.
It lingers with a little sourness.
