At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Gentle aroma, moderate sweetness and refreshing acidity, a definite taste.
Goes well with all kinds of food.
I also love Miyazaki sake👍.

I was offered a bottle of Hakurakusei, a sake I admire and respect, blind. I was a little skeptical because I thought it looked like Miyagi, but the aroma was more restrained than usual Hakurakusei and I missed it (laugh). But when I found out the answer, my tongue was too stupid to think it was Hakurakusei....
The aroma is restrained, but it has a clear and transparent taste with less flamboyance. It is still delicious.
Pairing] It is an excellent match for "low-key aroma" foods such as sashimi, soba noodles, and simmered dishes with dashi broth.
Repeat Score] 2.5
It's been a long time since I've had Hakurakusei 🤩 which got me hooked on sake 🍶 and this will be my first cold wholesale, so I have high expectations.
The rice used is Kura-no-Hana.
Polishing ratio is 55%.
Alcohol level is 15
Sake degree is +4
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is gently fruity and sweet like bananas and melons. This is followed by citrusy aromas like fresh lime and green apple.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, pale golden color with no strong cloudiness or coloration. The thickening is not very strong, and it has a slippery, fluid feel. It is light and smooth.
The mouthfeel is moist and soft, with no alcohol horniness. It has a fresh fruitiness like melon and pear.
A discreet sweetness and a gradual umami flavor spreads in the mouth. The refreshing citrus acidity tightens the aftertaste, leaving no sweetness on the tongue. It has a short aftertaste, so it can be used as a mid-meal sake that does not interfere with meals 😄.
Hakurakusei is a definite choice 😋.
Good evening, Daddy Takel 😃.
This is Hakurakusei cold wholesale! We had our first Hakurakusei last year 😋.
Many of the rice we received at that time said they were hooked from Hakurakusei!
A good food wine is a sin 😌.
Last year I bought too much in the summer to drink fall sake, so this is my first cold wholesale, and it has a round flavor with a pleasant acidity that gives it a firm sharpness. Delicious 😋.
