Purchased at the annual North Tohoku Antenna Shop's Akita Sake Tasting and Sale every three months.
This time it was a special summer sake!
I had a hard time deciding between Hiraizumi and Chitose-mori, but I chose Chitose-mori, which is limited to 300 bottles and has been available for a long time!
Cold sake
Ripe pear aroma
Slightly bodied.
The unique sweetness of rice spreads on the palate.
Sourness lingers on the tongue in the aftertaste.
After 2 days of drinking, the taste has become more rounded.
Chitosezakari Junmai Ginjo Peach Color
The description says it has a fruity aroma like berries and apples, but I couldn't detect it.
It is lighter and easier to drink than one-cup wines, but has a bitter aftertaste.
I don't like the taste.
Sake rice: Akita Sake Komachi ✖️ Junmai Ginjo with snow country yeast. Purchased at Odate-Noshiro Airport on the way back from a business trip. It has a clean, refreshing sweetness typical of Akita. You don't see this sake in Tokyo, but there are still some strong local brands that you haven't seen yet.
At a party to enjoy Akita sake.
It is a 40% Yamadanishiki daiginjo that has been aged for 3 years in a mine....
It is easier to drink than I expected, as it has a mild sweetness rather than a peculiar taste, even though it has a strong sense of maturity... Delicious...
