Yogurt-like 🍦
Refreshing lactobacillus-like sour taste ^ ^
Slow sweetness, deep aroma of fermentation that comes later ^ ^.
It is so refreshing and juicy that you feel like gulping it down 🍹.
Is this sake 🍶w?
Asakai Red Label. It was discounted by 30% at a local supermarket. It has been about 8 months since it was produced.
It is refreshing and easy to drink. It is slightly sweet, but it could be a little sweeter.
It goes well with meals and is delicious.
I think it tastes better at room temperature.

Spring limited edition sake. The acidity and sweetness are well balanced. It is delicious like sweet and sour strawberries. It is light at first, but has a good impact of rice flavor. It is the type of sake to be drunk in small sips. I think it can be paired with anything.
I think you can enjoy it only with sake.
Overall rating - A
Close to an S as far as I'm concerned, but I don't think I'll buy it again and again...
I think it could be a little more personal and sharp in some way.
chives (Allium schoenoprasum var. schoenoprasum)
Sake received from my sister-in-law. The sake I received is delicious. The Iwati label is cute. Lightly sweet with rum and melon.
The name comes from the word "Asabiraki," which appears in the Manyoshu (the oldest anthology of Japanese poetry), and symbolizes the opening of a new era.
Nanbu Touji, Mr. Masahiko Fujio, is known for his high level of skill, having received the "Contemporary Master Craftsman" award in 2005 and the "Medal with Yellow Ribbon" in 2008.
Iwati was given to me as a gift. I was surprised to learn that it was aged in a snow room at 14 degrees Celsius.
It's mellow and has a soft ginjo aroma for a 50-percenter.
It's a pity that the body is so thin that it quickly turns into sweet water, but the design is cute, so maybe it's possible.
