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
The first Asukai was served warm.
It has a full, rich flavor that is hard to imagine from a 60% polished Gohyakumangoku sake, and it has a nice sharpness. I have never had it cold or at room temperature, but it looks good heated.
First sake in a long time 🍶.
My wife's choice, my first sake brewery!
It is a sake with plenty of umami, sharpness, and a strong alcohol taste, and is very drinkable after a long time.

Soft, sweet and delicious, with the beautiful flavor of the rice swelling up.
The bitter and pungent taste is well balanced with just the right amount of sharpness.
Asukai-san, it has been a long time since last fall.
The first aroma is faintly sweet.
In the mouth, there is a slight astringency and a thick sweet flavor that is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
The astringent taste gradually fades away.
This was delicious 🍶✨.
The aroma is mild and the taste is not too sweet for an unfiltered sake. It also has a little bit of the weight of the original sake.
It goes well with sukiyaki today because it does not lose to strong flavored dishes and does not cancel out their flavors.
But if you drink it carefully, you may feel the acidity.
Fruity and refreshing. It is very easy to drink and delicious. I have never tasted this brand before, but it is a jackpot. It went well with sukiyaki. I was drinking it with satisfaction, but I felt the acidity was a little strong in the middle. I was satisfied with it and drank it quickly.

Asukai Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Not the classic Asukai label, but a slightly more luxurious and chic Asukai.
It is served cold.
The color is almost clear and transparent.
The nose has a mild, slightly ripe, fruity aroma.
When opened right out of the refrigerator, the wine is so clear that it seems tasteless on the palate when chilled.
A little later, after it has cooled down, a hint of sweetness can be felt, and the umami flavor spreads on the tongue.
While you are thinking, "Oh, it's so good," you feel a tingle on your tongue, and after swallowing, you feel a little bit of a kick, and finally, the sourness comes and goes. It leaves a lingering tingling sensation on the tongue.
It may be dry, but it is easy to drink with a slight sweetness on the palate, and it is light, refreshing, and clean, so it is very good as a food sake.
