I was out of town tonight on a wild business trip, so I'm posting at this hour. Here💁 from my favorite sake brewery in Akita.
Harukasumi Chestnut Label White Sake Komachi Nama 2024BY✨🌰.
This one uses Kameyama yeast. The aroma is clear Japanese pear, grapefruit, and herbs. The mouthfeel is very pleasant with a refreshing acidity, followed by a delicious sweetness from the rice 😋😋😋😋😋.
A great bottle of sake with a harmony of sake-like and modern drinkability👍
1.8L, 3,630 yen, 16% alcohol by volume, 100% Sango-Nishiki raw material rice, 50% polishing ratio, Kumamoto yeast KA-4, Sake degree +1, Acidity 1.7, purchased today at a liquor store in Misawa City. It has a nice sweetness, but the acidity and a bit of dryness are well balanced and spread out, with a nice sharpness. It is easy to drink!
Following the winter label, this time it is a chestnut label.
The bottle was opened.
It has sweetness, a slight koji acidity and rice flavor.
It has a very good balance of sweetness, slight koji acidity and rice umami.
It was a very delicious sake.

We had a rare snow flurry today, though,
I'm sure it's even more awesome in snow country ❄.
Still, I'm not used to snow, it's too cold 🤧.
Today, I'm in a warm house, thinking about Akita: 🏔️
Note on the active nigori: 🏷️
A little bit of opening and closing....
Just a little twist of the screw cap and wow, it's like it's going to pop!
💦💦💦 it's coming out 🤣!
The dancing queen of rice 💃.
When you put it in your mouth,
Rice Milk Sour 🫧🫧 with a nice, tight texture.
This is a bad one 💕😚💕
Slightly effervescent, discreet aroma, with a chili taste on the tongue. The mouthfeel is gently sweet, slightly bitter and sharp. Classical flavor, but with a clean, clear image. Gentle taste.

Fresh, gorgeous and somewhat peculiar aroma 💐☺️
The palate is filled with a flush, gentle umami and sweetness, with a pleasant acidity that lightens the whole thing up and then disappears 😭😊.
I still love this chestnut label as I did last year! It is delicious 😋🍴🍴😋🍴.
