Full rice flavor. You can feel the Asahi Wakamatsu character.
Yet, it is gentle and mild, and has a good sharpness.
It seems to be an ordinary sake, but it has a different taste.

The mouthful of rice flavor fills the palate with sourness.
The sweetness is strong, and the flavor has a sense of maturity.
The lingering finish is rather long, with a hint of bitterness and acidity, finally returning to the rice flavor to finish off.

Despite the translucent aroma, the palate is overwhelmed with the delicious flavor of rice.
The milky flavor derived from the acidity and the gentle bitterness make this sake more than just a strong sake.
I am glad that the sake has been aged in a refrigerator for six months to give it a finish that I like even more.

I had it warmed up (lukewarm to human body temperature).
When it cools down, it is a little spicy.
It has a deep flavor that can be enjoyed with any snacks.
However, it may not go well with strong snacks...?
It has a slight amber color.
It has a gentle and mild taste that relaxes the body.
★★★★
Sake from Naga-gun, Tokushima Prefecture.
Standard product.
Fire-watering.
Polishing ratio of 70 percent.
It seems to be made from Omachi rice.
Filtration is said to be minimal, so the color is slightly brown.
The taste is strong, rich, and mellow.
It tastes as if it has been aged.
People who like Shaoxing sake, old sake, and barrel-aged Western sake may like it.
I drank it at room temperature, but it is absolutely delicious hot.
I wonder what kind of food it would be good with.
Oden (Japanese-style stew)? Maybe cream cheese would also go well. Or maybe tofu paste would go well with it.
Wakamatsu? Tokushima.
A little expensive one. Freshly opened.
Mellow aroma with a sense of maturity,
The aroma and taste are both uplifting, but not too much,
It is a firm-bodied rice flavor with acidity.
The rice is delicious! (Umaa!
Sweet banana-like aftertaste.
It seems to be a hit with those who prefer a firm body. Delicious.
Taste 4/5
Purchased in Tokushima City during a trip to Shikoku.
When I researched Tokushima sake before my trip, I was curious about this brand because it is a small brewery with an annual production of only 40 koku, so it would be rare for me to see it, but if I did, I would buy it.
Junmai (pure rice) with a rice polishing ratio of 70%.
This is fire-aged sake.
This time it was served at room temperature.
The aroma is not that strong, and the color is a solid gold.
It tastes like grain on the palate. It is rich and powerful, but not spicy.
We had it with hot pot today, but it can be enjoyed with meat or fish without interfering with the meal.
This is the type of sake that is delicious even when served warmed.
It may not be the taste of today, but it is a good sake.
The best part of sake is that you can taste many different flavors with just rice and water.
Good morning, soumacho!
It's a quintessence that you've done your preliminary research and made a list before your trip: ⤴️
I have not been able to find Tokushima sake, but I remember my first Tokushima sake was delicious here ✨I would like to drink it at home someday 😊.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
Thanks for your comment.
I really want to buy as many as I can... (lol)
I have a plan on how many I will buy when I go out, but I usually end up buying more than I planned 😵.
♥♥♥♥💙 First Asahi Wakamatsu in 2 years, it's shipping in October, which is the time of year, it says brewed in 2024, but no reason for 2024BY. I'm wondering when it's going to be brewed, it was too sweet 2 years ago and I was baffled. It's always been a sweet sake, but this year it seems to be back to normal.
The taste of rice is full and smooth despite its high alcohol content.
It is high in alcohol content, but has a smooth taste. It would go well with sashimi.
