Purchased at Imadeya on the way home from work. It is delicious.
The combination of Omachi and Yamahai is interesting.
The soft umami of Omachi and the crisp acidity of Yamahai combine to make a very tasty wine.
There is no modern fruity taste. But it does not have the dryness of the classic type.
You've just finished a bottle of Nishinomon and feel like you need more.
In such a case - one cup!
So, I went to my first brewery, Akishika Shuzo's Akishika Sake Brewery again!
This time it was a Junmai Senju sake!
Let's have it right away!
The first thing is the aroma. I don't really notice the aroma.
In the mouth, it has a traditional sake feel, but the mouthfeel is clean, with a slight sweetness, complexity, and a soft bitterness that finishes off the palate.
You can also taste the umami.
The lingering aftertaste is very smooth and easy to drink.
This is delicious in its own way!
It goes very well with a meal.
I usually like sweet sake, but sake with umami taste is also delicious!
I felt that Junmai sake is really delicious after all!
Good evening, ma-ki- 😀
It's great that you have prepared sake for when you don't have enough to drink 😇.
I attended last year's brewery opening and was under the impression that Akirika was very dry, but it turned out to be a very umami sake 😇.
Good evening to you too, ma-ki-San🌛I had an image of Akirika as a dossier classic, but with such a cute design, I think I can drink it 🦌I have to drink local sake once in a while. ✨️
Thanks for your comment, Yasube!
Yes, I have a few bottles of it in the fridge, especially on weekdays when I think I'll open the next one 🤣.
I thought it was dry too, but it was delicious 😋.
Nao888, thank you here too!
I got the dry image too and it was a very tasty sake 😋.
The design is cute too 🎵
I was very satisfied because I don't have many chances to drink sake from Osaka 😊.
Hi, ma-ki-chan!
The "Aki-Deer" Bambi cup is really useful for a quick drink 😁.
By the way, in my hometown, Fukui, there is a "Wakashika" cup with a deer painted in blue 🤣.
Thanks for your comment, Jive!
I've seen the young deer online 😁✨.
The blue Bambi cup is beautiful 🎵.
Makes me want to do a drinking comparison or something 🤣.
One cup is really convenient for a quick drink 😋.
Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting 8
I would never buy a very dry sake from Akirika myself😅.
Sake degree +16😳
I can only drink as much as I can outside 😁.
The top tank was opened in Jan 24 and the date is Feb 25 so it's been sitting in the brewery for a year 🤔.
It's heavy and has a strong umami, but it's spicy!
I drank it warmed, but Akizuka is more effective when it's heated up.
The sake warmer that you heat up on the stove looks so cute!
The fourth photo was taken by pyonpyon!
Who wants takikomi gohan? I raised my hand but didn't get it 🤣.
So I asked pyonpyon to share some with me 🙏!
Hello bouken 🐦!
I've been looking at the previous sweet and fruity wines, but I think this one is finally coming into its own 😆👍I'm glad you can drink it because a big dry + 1 year aged wine is a hard sell to buy!
Osaka💦 which was surprisingly not buried in the map of Sake-no-wa.
I was determined to drink it at the Sannomiya mini offline meeting, so I opened a brand new bottle and had it👍.
It's been a while since I've had it, but it's still as dry as Akizuka, and I've usually only tasted it chilled, but pyonpyon recommended that I have it hot 😁.
The taste changed drastically and it became easier to drink at once and I felt the taste of Yamadanishiki.
I preferred it hot 👍.
I will try it at room temperature next time 🤣.
Good evening, Robin 😀
It looks like you had a fun and tasty time at the party led by Robin 😇.
We are a 2-person family, so we didn't want to have a small group meeting, but I enjoyed reading your post 😇.
Good evening, Yasube!
We would have loved to have had you both join us, but unfortunately we had only a few people this time because it was a trial 💦 We hope to have a chance to hold the event in Kobe in the future👍.
Hi Robin 😃
Kansai Sake no Wa group is thriving as always 👍that sounds like fun🤗.
I didn't expect Robin to be here to fill up on Osaka sake 🍶 😆 I can't wait to try the dry heated sake with pickles 😋 🤤.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ❗️
We had a small offline meeting this time, but it went surprisingly well 😁.
I also didn't realize that I missed out on Osaka sake and didn't even buy it in my neighborhood 💦 It's been a while since I've had a good fall saké 👍.
Hi Robin 🐦.
Looks like you had a great time at the Kobe offline meeting😊👍from bouken, everyone drank a lot and ate a lot of pickles😆I wish I could have stayed over 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan. ❗️
We had a small off-line meeting in Kobe, but the owner did a good job of making sure we had plenty of sake in the store. I hope we can have more members to come next time👍.
Thank you again 🙇.
Hello Robin,Â
Thank you so much for hosting the project last week.
The store and the regulars were very energetic, and we were also very excited ⤴️⤴️ ✨.
I would love to hold another Hyogo party 💡.
Since I came all the way to Osaka!
I started with a cold sake.
It was dry and refreshing, and went down smoothly...but there was a distinctive bitter taste in my throat, which I might not like 🧐...like I was drinking shochu when I was supposed to be drinking sake?
I was cold when I was drinking it. The bitterness comes to the fore ...... is this surprising? I don't have the vocabulary to describe this flavor, but it has a kind of herbal bitterness. Bitterness can have a negative aftertaste, but when it comes to the front, it has a delicious herbal liquor or coffee-like flavor.
Maybe it is because I served it cold, or maybe it is because it was exposed to air...at any rate, I liked it better cold than cold sake.
Alcoholic and strong raw sake. Dry taste. Delicious slightly warmed. Has a dry taste, better when slightly warmed up to room temperature.

Tasted at restaurant Kamo. ⬛ don't buy again: slightly strong, pairs well with Kamo's strong-flavored sashimi but not for every palate.
