Purple Space Snow Label New Sake
Personally, I drank yesterday's Akabu
I personally think it's a rival to Akabu, which I drank yesterday.
It has a new sake-like freshness and a muscat-like flavor.
I can feel the muscat-like flavor with new sake-like crispness.
For some reason, the crown is its younger brother, Hiroki,
Oh, yummy!
My favorite flavor!
I drank it for the first time, but it's good for Iwate. It's delicious. It's great. It's quite sweet and slightly carbonated to make you drink it.

[Aftertaste.
Short to medium. It finishes refreshingly.
Impression: Fruity, light and dry.
The aroma is subdued, perhaps because it was the last part of the bottle. The main aroma is a ginjo aroma of green apples and white peaches, with a subtle scent of yeast, like that of ramune. The taste is light, with each element being moderate, and a lingering sense of alcohol. Suitable as a mid-meal drink.
Pairing
White fish tempura, grilled chicken (salted), dashimaki tamago (rolled egg), soba noodles.
Repeat Score] 1.5
Hatsu Shihu ❤️
I've been curious about Purple Space for a while after seeing it on Instagram, and now that they have a new draft sake, I've captured it 😎.
It's called Strawberry🍓 label.
I wonder what it tastes like.
The stopper was so tight that I had a hard time opening it.
Slightly fruity aroma, slight gasiness.
It's a sweet and tasty drink, but I didn't taste any strawberries 💦.
No strawberry flavor, but a hint of strawberry-flavored pocky.
No bitterness or other unpleasant tastes.
I have a bottle of Sugitama label in the fridge right now.
I'm looking forward to the comparison: ❤️
Postscript.
Today, the second day, I tried heating it up.
Strawberry, I can feel it ❗️
Not strawberry pocky, but strawberry 🍓.
I never had the idea of heating up a draft sake before, but it might be a good way to feel the difference in flavor😊.
I can't get enough of the sweet and sour 😆.
I think it's time to call it a night.
If you have anything other than what we drank this day, please let me know.
If not, we'll have some of the new Yama-Yamo-Kagumo-Kasaku sake.
The following sake was served, which we had already had in November.
The new Purple Space Sake!
It was just as delicious as the last time!
After this, we went to Asahikawa!
There was still snow on the ground. ❄️

This is my first sake.
I went to a liquor store I recently discovered and found it there, so I bought a four-pack for now.
This time I had a bit of trouble opening the bottle. It was harder than I thought it would be, and since it was new sake, I opened it carefully, but it only sizzled and I was able to open it safely.
The aroma is fresh, as is typical of new sake. On the palate, there is a slight piquancy, then a sweetness, then a bitterness, and then a mildness that passes through the nose. Then, there is a mild acidity that passes through the nose.
As sake lovers will understand, it is a little less sharpness and a little more sweetness than AKABU. It seems a little sweet to me, but I will try to catch up with them as they seem to offer seasonal sake throughout the four seasons.
I visited Okage Yokocho again and bought a sake that I did not taste and drink properly at the recent Okage Yokocho Shinmamesai (New Year's Tasting Festival).
It is a rather sweet sake with a low sake content, but it has a fizzy and refreshing taste.
It is very tasty and the taste spreads in the mouth.

Beyond delicious and wonderful (≧▽≦)!
The aroma is faintly sweet and juicy with the flavor of rice.
It is crisp and refreshing, yet fruity.
The acidity is also refreshing and too delicious.
Thank you very much!
