W, this is the third bottle. This one is definitely fruity too. I bought it because I was told that there were not many bottles left. It was described as having a muscat flavor.
The first sip, mmm... gorgeous rice, rice, delicious flavor!
The first sip has a fruity white peach flavor, followed by a graininess.
The second sip, the sour taste is also rice-enriching.
It may be a bit bran-like.
Taste: 3.5/5
Oh my! There is not a single bottle of alcohol in the refrigerator! So I took advantage of my day off and went straight to the liquor store.
I found the sake I wanted, but they were out of stock, so I bought some in bulk. Among them was a standard sake that caught my eye for the first time in a long time. The price of this sake has gone up quite a bit.
Since it is bottle-fired at this time of year, the bottle was opened at a very high price. The aroma is not as loud as that of the raw sake, but it has calmed down. It is still sweet and juicy as usual, but after drinking it for the first time in a while, it has a strong spiciness. And because it is made from Yamada-Nishiki, it has more sharpness than Aizan.
As always, I think it goes well with something rich or strong in flavor.

◼︎ History of Omachi rice and Akaban Yu
From Toshimori Sake Brewery HP
Omachi rice was grown in 1851 by Jinzo Kishimoto, a farmer in Omachi, Takashima-mura in present-day Okayama City, who found it on his way back from a visit to Daisen in present-day Tottori Prefecture and brought it back home.
At one time, the cultivation area was reduced to 6 ha (about the size of Tokyo Dome), and it was called "maboroshi no mai.
Around 1965, Tadayoshi Toshimori, the fourth generation of the Toshimori Sake Brewery, revived Omachi rice, and a daiginjo sake brewed with Omachi rice was named Akaban Omachi, and sales began.
This is the first time I've seen a double-u.
The W does not seem to be the double you of Kago and Tsuji.
I looked it up and found that it was W for Watanabe sake brewery (Watanabe), World (World), and Laughter (Warai).
The last drink of the day.
It has a fruit aroma. Very fruity.
It is outstandingly good!
It was also the W of delicious banzai waiwai (waiwai).
It seems like it.
Gorgeous, fluffy, sweet rice, typical of new sake.
Soft, rich and juicy. The acidity is a bit glossy.
Slightly bitter with a hint of bitterness.
Softly decadent.
Delicious.
Taste level 4/5
