The astringent acidity characteristic of Akishika Shuzo leads the umami to a calm depth. This sake should be enjoyed for its astringency, acidity, depth, and calm atmosphere.
When heated to full strength, the firm outline expands, and the sweetness and umami of Yamada-Nishiki unfolds slowly with a sense of rice, not aroma. The dryness is accented by the acidity, making it a good mid-meal sake. Above all, it is gentle on the body.

A drink recommended by the master as a dry drink to expand my findings 🍶.
No heady aroma 🍶.
The nose has a smoky caramel aroma 🤔.
It has a great rice flavor and strong acidity.
The umami is strong, but not too strong, and it matches the acidity well so you don't feel it's too strong ✨.
Almost no sweetness, it was a nice, clean, dry sake 😊.
My son bought this liquor on a trip.
It is said to have a fresh aroma, rich umami that spreads from a fresh mouthfeel, and a crisp acidity. 、、、、, but it is no longer fresh and has a slightly aged aroma. It tastes a bit like blue cheese.
Maybe it was because the train ride from Osaka to Kawasaki was at room temperature.... A little disappointing.
Well, I thought, "This kind of sake is not so bad," and drank it!
Thanks for the drink, son!
Akizuka from Osaka.
It is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake, but it is quite a sharp one. Serve with Manganji peppercorns.
