Forgot to raise it yesterday.
Light and juicy sweetness typical of Eiko-Fuji.
Clear mouthfeel.
It has a freshness, but not so fruity.
It has a clean and crisp taste.
It seems a little dry for Eiko-Fuji.
Taste level 3.5/5
After running all my errands in the morning, I decided to open up a few of the drinks I couldn't have over the weekend.
The immorality of weekday afternoon only... 😆
First, let's start with Eiko Fuji's ALCHEMIST!
When we opened the bottle, the aroma was sweet and fresh.
The aroma is just as sweet as fresh peaches and melons.
The lingering aftertaste is gentle, and I think it is a very beautiful sake, including the bitterness that lingers just a little bit afterwards.
Of course, I bought the label.
Tasted chilled, opened the day before.
Not much on the nose. Flavor is very bold up front, with earthy tones and brief but forward melon. Finish is quick but alcohol lingers. A nice drink and maybe best with food.
I'll take Yami Naru Akimizu today, which I buy every year 🍶.
The aroma is like muscat, fruity sweetness and rice flavor. On the palate, there is a muscat-like sweetness and umami, with a spicy and jittery roughness in the latter half that is only possible with unfiltered, unfiltered, undiluted sake. It feels like it goes down on the tip of the tongue.
We paired it with Yamagata's local dish, imoni (stewed potatoes), and it is a delicious match 😊.
