This time it is Akebono night.
It is called Ariiso Akebono in Toyama Prefecture.
It is the only sake brewery in Himi City, Toyama Prefecture that was damaged by the Noto earthquake, and is the result of the brewer's desire to go back to the basics and make sake once again.
And yet,
The label is too pop!
I'm kind of moeing a gap.
It is served cold.
The color is slightly yellowish green.
The top aroma is of ripe bananas with a smoky astringent taste.
From the light and refreshing mouthfeel,
The smoky astringency that flows through the entire palate has a slight banana and slightly hard rice flavor. The taste is a mixture of these two flavors, which creates a delicious taste that makes you want to drink another cup.
It is better served cold to expand the umami.
When I attended a meeting of Ariiso Akebono, Mr. Takazawa spoke passionately about it,
He said, "I want to make a sake that goes well with the food culture of Himi, where fresh seafood is abundant!
The flavor conveys his love for Himi, which is rich in fresh seafood.
And just in time!
We were also lucky enough to be served with a gorgeous tagged zuwai crab from Hokuriku 🤣.
Yoo-hoo🦀✨🍶.
Good morning, Hirupeko-san!
［Himi is a treasure trove of food, with brand-name beef such as "Himi Beef" and "Cold Yellowtail" 🥰.
Next time, please try the yellow-tagged crab too 🤣.
Hi Gyve. I see that the crab tags are different colors depending on the region of origin 😳 I'm learning a lot! It would be great to have a sake trip to Himi Buri🐟 via Echizen🦀!
I bought this at HOKURIKU+ in Umeda.
Toyama sake follows from here🍶.
The first one is Ariiso, a local sake from Himi.
It is a light, dry sake with a hint of sweetness, but also has a mellow feeling.
Next time I have this sake, I would like to have it with seafood from Himi 🐟.
Alcoholic Beverage 15%.
Rice: Gohyakumangoku
Polishing ratio 65
Yeast used: Kyokai 1401 (Kanazawa)
Sake meter degree +3
Toyama is also good for sake. This time, I was curious about Ariiso Akebono. Let's put the preliminaries aside and get to it!
The aroma is calm and a little astringent. The sweetness, astringency, and umami spread out gradually, including the smooth brewing water. It is a strong sake with body! Moreover, it is rich. The slight acidity is not bad either. This would be delicious with tuna or cold yellowtail. Toyama is a treasure house of rich and delicious sake. Thanks again for the sake tonight!

The main sake booth of Hokuriku, Tenkafusake. The fishing signboard was for Toyama Prefecture's Sanshaku 🤣.
We came to meet our hobby sake shop owner who has been a great help to us. Kuzuha had the same lineup as we had at the mall, and we were allowed to drink only one bottle, which we did not drink.
◉Akebono no Yoru Junmai Ginjo
Akebono no Yoru Junmai Ginjo is a refreshing mid-meal sake with a moderate acidity. It would go well with sashimi.
I had never heard of the Takazawa brewery, but I was surprised to learn that all of their sake is pressed in the tank.
When the sake shop owner saw another customer at the cash register buying HAYAKAWA's Habutae walnuts, a famous confectionery in Fukui, he said, "It's rare that they sell them here! I like it best among Japanese sweets in my life", so I secured it in my basket before the sake 🤣.
There was also a corner of Hokuriku sweets beavers, so I bought some 😁.
Color is clear and slightly golden
The aroma is mild, with a gentle lactic acidic aroma.
Texture is slightly heavy.
The first impression on the palate is mild and gentle, but the rounded acidity fills the mouth.
The sake has the quintessential flavor of hiyaoroshi, with the firm umami of junmai sake in the background.
There is little sweetness, and the bitterness tightens up the entire experience.
The back palate has a lingering aftertaste of umami and acidity from the rice with a strong presence on the tongue.
The aftertaste can be felt for a long time in one sip.
Sake to drink in the middle of fall.
Located in a residential area of Neyagawa.

I have never tasted such delicious raw oysters!
Delicious!

Booth of Hokuriku Sake Fair [Ariiso Akebono
◉ Ariiso Akebono Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyoroshi
The sake is clear and easy to drink, with almost none of the aged feel of hiyaoroshi. Even people who don't like hiyaoroshi can drink it.
◉ Ariiso Akebono Junmai Ginjo
A two-stage sake. It's clear, but still retains a nice umami flavor. It seems to be a perfect match for fish dishes.
◉AKEBONO FLAT
Akebono Flat is a low 12% sake that has not been served in two years. The sake has a sake content of +/- 0, so I guess it's a flat sake. It is an easy-drinking sake with a slightly sweet taste. The back of the label is colored and stylish. This one is really easy to drink.
This is also a brewery that was hit by the disaster. We must not forget about the disaster-stricken areas yet.
Purchased at AEON Liquor Shop in Tonami.
Commemorative sake for the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
It has a pungent taste in the mouth and a sweet taste that spreads in the mouth.
