My fifth cup of Akagisan 👀 today.
Junmai Daiginjo-shu🍶 made with Yamada-Nishiki from Midori-City and Kiryu-City, Gunma Prefecture🍶 Rice is highly polished to 35%❣️
It's a precious sake, limited to 150 bottles♪
Delicious 😋👍
Second glass of the day 👀.
Akagisan Special Junmai Sake Hanamurasaki🍶.
This sake is made from Gohyakumangoku sake rice produced in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture.
The label was designed by local poet Tomihiro Hoshino.
It is a sake that you can drink as many glasses as you want and never get tired of it. ❣️
Participated in the Kondo Sake Brewery's 150th anniversary event!
Today's event was all about Akagisan, the representative sake of the Higashige area (^^)
It was a very fast and fun time ⏰.
Thank you very much, President Kondo. 🙇♀️
Akagisan Activated Nigori Sake 🍶.
It's called "Akagisan Akkeshi" because it's called "Akkeshi" in Japanese.
It is a sake with a hole in the lid to allow fermented gas to escape.
It's always good to drink 😋.
It is the best sake for the costumers.
Activated nigori sake from Akagisan, sold only at the end of the year: ❣️
It is a cheap, tasty and cosy sake 🍶.
It is easy to drink for women and goes well with Japanese food 🍶.
I send a thank you line to Mr. Kondo, the president of Kondo Sake Brewery, who makes this sake, every time I drink it.
I've been slacking on posting.
I'm going to upload all of them at once from now on.
Gunma Prefecture's dry sake is Akagisan🍶.
I never get tired of this sake. ❣️
Thank you for always providing us with delicious sake: 🙇♀️
Thank you Kondo Sake Brewery!
It is also the first Omachi type sake in the history of Akagisan, and a limited edition sake for the challenge project...!
It's "Sake Day" and today is all about the special treats!
When opened and poured, the nose is clean yet aromatic, with apple and pear aromas, plus a yogurt-like lactic acidity.
The mouthfeel is round yet light. The clear and transparent flavor of Oumachi spreads through the palate. The taste is condensed and beautiful, with no sharp sweet and spicy astringency. There is a slight sourness and a sharpness that quickly fades away. It has a cohesive and elegant taste!
The assertiveness is modest, but it has a gorgeous aroma of melon, pear, and black honey. The balance of these flavors makes it easy to drink ✨.
We toasted with our favorite "Akagisan" and the sake of the "god of sake brewing"!
I am looking forward to next season's sake 😋.
Souvenir from my dad (2).
Overall, it tasted lighter and didn't have much of a dryness to it, but I got a sweet vanilla flavor that made it a bit addictive! It's like a caster mild kind of sake?
Since I have been drinking a lot of seasonal sake and honjozo, I sometimes enjoy a special honjozo, which is also a standard type of sake!
As usual, the costuming is outstanding👍!
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sharp with a hint of rice sweetness.
The mouthfeel is clean, but more rounded than normal honjozo, with a light acidity and astringency, and a delicious taste.
However, it flows like the wind, and its characteristic purity and dry sharpness are still there.
This was the first special version in a long time, but the flavor of this one is also unbearably delicious ✨.
I don't often get to compare the two at the same time, so it was very stimulating!
I'm still getting excited about it 🔥.
