The aroma is calm and fruity.
The taste is sublimated into a refreshing taste with the flavor of rice, which has a pleasantly full-bodied taste with a hint of gas.
It also has an elegant sweetness and a good sharpness, and has a high degree of perfection.

The first sip seems a bit plain.
But around the third day, the flavor deepens and it shows its true potential.
It is the same BY as the one we drank in May, but the rice is from a different region.
It was warmed to a lower temperature than the one we drank just before. It also has the sweetness and umami of rice, but this one has a gentler flavor, perhaps due to the difference between the sake and the fast brewing process.
I have always wanted to drink Asukai, and finally got a bottle of the raw sake!
I heard that the brewer passed away suddenly in 2015 and the brewer's wife and sisters are running the business. I wonder if that's why the production is so low, and even the distributors don't get many bottles in stock.
It is Asukai's challenge sake with 13% alcohol and -5 sake.
It is indeed a low-alcohol sweet sake with a gentle taste, but it tastes a little astringent at the end. It also has a strong acidity. Perhaps it is a characteristic of the brewery, but it has a flavor that is not often found in sweet sake.
Thick sweetness like syrup.
A little bit like Akizuka in the latter half 🤔.
Hello bouken!
Congratulations on your wish for Asukai 🎉!
It's a brand whose sales channels are not so easy to find even in the local area near the brewery 🤔.
Next time we meet, shall I bring you "Manazuru"? I'm sure we can work something out 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
I've been trying to get a bottle of Nama Sake for a long time and it took me a long time to get it 💦 It's a brand you don't see very often even in your hometown 😳 Depending on when we meet, I'd like to get a bottle of Ara Shibori or Manazuru 🙏.
The taste of rice spreads softly on the palate.
The clean, clean taste with no cloying flavors is capped off by a strong alcoholic sensation.
It has a combination of strength and delicacy that will not be defeated by fatty foods.
The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is dry with a hint of astringency and rice malt. The aftertaste is also dry and robust.
Alcohol 17.5

The first Asukai. Gohyakumangoku from Eiheiji is used.
The bottle was opened with a slight gassy feeling.
It was quite sweet. A little unexpected.
I can taste the umami, but the sweetness comes first for me.
Sorry, I'm looking forward to the next brand.
Crisp, spicy and fruity with a dark sweetness. It finishes with sourness and a hint of bitterness. Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture. Kaiser-Jakut and
