Terroir sake brewed with Echizen-machi rice by Niu Shuzo of Echizen-machi, Fukui! Asukai
The sake here is easy to drink and quite dry and delicious!
This is a new item, a pure rice sake with no additives! The label is impressive! I'm going to explore the frontier because it's hard to find reviews on the net! I'm going to pioneer the frontier!
Interesting specs: no additive yeast. That means only brewed? 🧐
The aroma is a blue melon type? Mild but beautiful!
When you drink it, the umami acidity is strongly assertive! But it's on very clean water and disappears quickly with the sweetness.
It is probably quite dry, but there is no cloying taste and it is very easy to drink! It is very robust even when served cold! It will probably be great warmed up, but I think I'll just drink it all cold 😂.
I'm smiling at the refined high alu classic 😄The type of sake my body craves after a long day of modern types.
I'm sure this type of sake will have some unpleasant taste, but it's great that it doesn't have any unpleasant taste!
It seems that there was a time when the brewery was connected with a current toji, but now it seems that Mr. Io is brewing sake from the hip. It is a small brewery with little distribution, so if you see it, please pick it up.
When you sip it, you will be surprised. The aroma of sake rice spreads, and it is indeed a special junmai. I worked hard this week, working on Saturdays. This is my reward.
Let's try a new brand for the first time in this series!
This time, I was attracted to this one because of its beautiful name, Bito.
The aroma is classic with a sour taste.
The taste is also acidic and has a slightly peculiar old-fashioned taste.
The middle part of the bottle is full of umami, and the last part finishes with a sour and bitter taste.
Delicious, but not my favorite.
I don't think I will repeat it.
Sake of the Day
Asukai Bito
Special Junmai Nakadori
Rice used: 100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Eiheiji-cho, Fukui Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 17.5
I wonder if Gohyakumangoku can be this mellow. It is +4, so the mouthfeel is certainly tangy, but it feels much sweeter. It also has a slightly bubbly taste. The second half, when the ori comes in, is much thicker...

Composed mainly of sweet and sour flavors. It tastes like apple and apricot 🍎.
The flavor slowly starts to develop and then slowly fades away 🤗.
It is a sake that makes you calm 🍶.
