Gagakuyo's first UA collaboration sake!
We have finished our collaboration with Senkori, and now we would like to focus on Gagakuyo's collaboration sake.
As for the design, they aimed for a low-alcohol sake like Hiyori and a voluptuous taste like Tama Hibiki.
It really is as it should be. It is low-alcohol and very easy to drink, yet it has a strong flavor and is very drinkable.
It tastes like a fresh, sweet, and restrained rum.
I personally like it and will be looking out for future collaboration drinks.
Thanks for the treat.
I drank it at a drink program in Fukuoka, so I'm going to record what I've had before.
The aftertaste was a bit heavy.
Overall, it's very smooth, but there's nothing special about it.
Gorgeous aroma with a slight gasiness.
After sweetness and acidity like apples and cherries, the flavor of rice can be felt.
The aftertaste is refreshing, clean and cool, perfect for summer.
After I started drinking it, it was all at once. It was delicious!
Garakudai Tokiha" by Tenryohai Shuzo
Garakudai Tokiwa is a sake produced by Tenryohai Shuzo in collaboration with UNITED ARROWS. It is the first sake produced by Tenryohai Sake Brewery in collaboration with UNITED ARROWS, and is characterized by a sweeter taste with a lighter alcohol content. Tokiha (鴇羽) is named after the color of Tokiha (鴇羽), the color of the feathers of the Japanese crested ibis (Tokiha-iro), and expresses elegance and lightness.
Despite its low alcohol content of 12.5ºC, it has a strong sweetness and is very satisfying to drink.
It has a stronger and more impressive fruity and sweet taste than Gagakuyo's standard sake "Gekka" and "Hiyori".
In the mouth, the light strawberry-like fruitiness and firm sweetness first spread out, and the sharp acidity and gas undertones enhance the flavor.
Rice: Tokiwa
Rice polishing ratio: ---0.5
Alcohol content: 12.5
Here it is today! A new challenge sake called Minamikaze by Garakudai, which I was curious about when I saw it on Netto! The alcohol content is an unbelievably low 10.5 degrees. Normally, this would cause some twitching, but that's Garakudai's skill!
The aroma is mild, with hints of apple and muscat. When you drink it, it has a mild sweetness and a slight carbonation. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing 😄 It is low in alcohol but not flattened. It is a low-alcohol sake with a lot of umami without being flat. The acidity seems to be made with white malted rice, but it is not emphasized, but is a good accent 😊They are showing their skills without regret. Excellent 🥲.
The first Gagakuyo is Gekka.
It is the core product in the series.
Fresh aroma with a touch of citrus.
It is very light and slightly effervescent.
It is refreshing with a gentle sweetness and acidity that is not too strong.
Easy to drink like a sparkling wine.
The fleetingness that disappears without a trace.
Pairing: Grilled mackerel sushi, steamed hamaguri clam with sake, Tochioage
