Purchased in Ichinoseki next door
I thought it would be light and dry, but it has a firm sweetness and umami, with a tangy fizz in the back of the throat. I was convinced by the description "mellow" on the label 🤔.
It would be good with seafood au gratin or boiled fish rather than sashimi!
This is Hamamusume, a limited edition Iwate sake from Akabu Shuzo, famous for Akabu.
We call it generic Akabu, but it is as good as Akabu.
It has been a long time since I had this sake, but I was surprised at how good it tastes.
It is less fruity, but delicious.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Today is the 14th anniversary of the earthquake. It's a day that makes me think a lot. I think about what I was doing on that day, the fear that I was going to die, and many other things... and I think about them as I look back on this page!
I had a chance to visit Iwate the other day and bought this 😊Hamamusume! The brewery was located in Otsuchi-cho at the time of the earthquake, but was moved to Morioka after the disaster. The first sake they made there was this Hamamusume! It is also called "revival sake" 😊.
The first Hamamusume! Akabe is also delicious, so I take it as a given that it is delicious. The aroma is very fruity, with hints of apple, pear, peach, and flowers. When you drink it, the sweetness comes through and then the acidity is emphasized and so is the umami. The aftertaste is refreshing. The sweetness is noticeable on its own, but when drunk as a food sake, the sweetness is moderate and well balanced. Depending on the ingredients, the acidity may be emphasized, but overall it is fresh and delicious. I would like to have this kind of sake on hand all the time, but it is only available in Iwate...I'll buy it again (^o^)
Good morning, Sashi 😃.
Each one of us has different memories 😌 but we have to connect to the next one!
NIHAMA Musume-san! I'd like to try one 😋I have to go to Tohoku again🤗.
Good evening, Mr. Sashiu🦉.
I know you drank this drink with a lot of feelings 🥹I'm still going through a lot of hardship, but it gives me the strength to revive my drinking! I wish I could drink it too 😊.
Jay & Nobby, each of us has our own memories! And as you say, I think it is very important to connect them and pass them on. I would like to convey this in my own way. Hamamusume-san, you are so peaceful and I feel it deeply.
Pon-chan, good evening😊When 3.11 comes, it reminds me of many things. I know there are people who are still suffering from the disaster...Iwate is still in a very difficult situation. Hama Musume is calm and delicious. If you are ever in Iwate, be sure to try it!
Sake still found only in Iwate Prefecture🍶.
Refreshing aroma 🎵
Refreshingly fruity and slightly sweet 😉.
Light and soft, with a sour aftertaste 🍶 👍️
A bottle with a refreshing aftertaste ✨
I'm back at the sake bar at the Tohoku products exhibition being held at Harukas lol.
The first glass was Hamamusume from the same brewery as Akabu.
Unlike Akabu, this brand was made in Otsuchi-cho before it was moved to Morioka after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
It is said to be an Iwate-only brand 😳.
It tastes like a clear, clean, light and dry sake.
It is a food sake that goes well with seafood 🐟.
Junmai Ginjo⁉️
It's distributed only within the prefecture...first time 🤩.
As expected from Akabu Shuzo ⭕️
Fresh and gassy ✨.
Exquisite balance👍
The aftertaste is firm
Now the golden one on the right ^ ^.
This one I drink all the time.
I know it tastes good, but this is my first time to compare ٩٩_.
The conclusion is that both are delicious 😋.
I prefer the blue one, which is 100 yen more expensive.
Thanks to Mr. Akabu, I'm having a wonderful day w
Oh, there are two types of generic red wings!
*...*:. .... .... :*-'(*▽▽*)'*:. .... ... .... :*...'*...
The blue one on the left is Junmai Nama.
I've never had this one.
The blue one on the left is 1400 yen (excluding tax)
The gold one on the right is 1300 yen (excluding tax)
Now, what is the difference of 100 yen....
So, we discussed this with his wife in the store and decided to compare the drinks.
The blue one has a pleasant tingling gas feeling ‼️
It seemed darker than the golden one ^ ^.
