I opened another bottle that I received as a New Year's gift. The person I drank it with said it was a little harder to drink than the Snowman. It is a bit heavy, though it is a bit shwashy like a draft sake. Is it a matter of my mood?
Mellow sake. The aroma is not that strong, but when you put it in your mouth, you can smell the fruity sweetness! The aftertaste is crisp! There are quite a few differences depending on the sake's production.
I was given a set of sake comparison set as a gift from a family member, so I opened a luxurious set of sake!
Hanamurasaki" special junmai sake!
The most umami of the three. It has a rich and heavy flavor, but it also has a mellow taste.
Yamamurasaki" junmai ginjo
It has umami, but is light and light. The umami flavor lingers in the aftertaste, making it stable and easy to drink.
Gohyakumangoku" Junmai Ginjo
The most aromatic and sweet. It has a mild and gentle flavor. Recommended for those who do not like sake!
Happy New Year!
We look forward to serving you again this year 🎍.
Of course, the first bottle of the new year will be opened by this person. We will start with a new sake that we had been saving for this day!
When opened and poured, it has a mellow and bright aroma of peaches, pears, and melon.
The mouthfeel is crisp, but at the same time there is a hint of the richness and umami of soft rice. There is a fresh, green, fruity overtone that is typical of new sake. The aroma, umami, and lightness support each other like a ding!
The spiciness and transparency of the spiciness also plays a role in the crispness of the overall finish, making it a truly refreshing Akagisan ✨.
Akagisan CI is also lucky 77👐!
We will use it in our tokoso preparation and keep going with the power of Akagisan this year!
Happy New Year, stst 🎍.
I wish you a happy new year 🙇🙇.
Closing with Mt. Akagi and starting with Mt. Akagi ✨Sounds quintessential ✨.
Akagi again this year! I hope you have a great year 😊.
Happy New Year to you, ma-ki-! We look forward to working with you again this year ✨
I will take my time to walk through the spring, summer, fall, and winter of Akagi Mountain this year...!
Happy New Year, stst 🎍!
And Akagisan 77! That's a great start ✨I've never seen this label before 😳I'm looking forward to seeing more Akagisan from you because you've drunk a lot of it.
Happy New Year, Pon-chan!
I will continue to walk this year in search of the yet-to-be-seen Mount Akagi 🔥 Thank you for your support in the new year ✨.
Of course, the last one to drink is this one 👍.
It has a stable cool and dry taste, and a great sharpness to end the year. I would like to aim for 100 check-ins next year!
Akagi and end up in Akagi! I wish you all a happy new year 👋
Speaking of stst, Mt! It's a quintessential drinking experience at ✨.
Thank you so much again this year 🙇🙇.
Let's enjoy drinking in good health next year 🎵.
I hope you have a happy new year too 🌄.
Hi stst 😃Happy New Year 🌅.
What? I was thinking 😳 you're going to end it with a hiyouyasumi 😅 but I'm relieved to see that it's still the stable Mt Akagi 😊.
Please come visit Utsunomiya again 👋
Thank you again for your support this year 🙇🏻🙇🏻♀️
Happy New Year, Jay & Nobby!
We look forward to another year with Tochigi, including Kinugawa, Utsunomiya and Nikko✨.
We look forward to working with you again this year 🙌
Gunma
Junmai Ginjo
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol 15
Rice: 100% Gohyakumangoku
A robust dry Junmai.
It has sweetness, but the dryness is strong.
It has a strong alcoholic feeling in the throat and seems to get drunk quickly.
Akagisan Special Honjozo
60% 15-16% 720ml 1200yen
Strong impression. It is very drinkable, but the alcohol taste is quite pronounced. The quality of the sake is simple and slightly dry, but there is also a sweetness to the rice.
It is perfect for both lukewarm and hot sake.
A sake to be enjoyed with others over a hot pot.
The price of 1,200 yen for 720ml is also attractive. It is a better sake than it looks on the label.
Rating 4.1 (out of 5.0) 20230902
I decided to drink this the day I was born ✨
This is a limited brewery release type of Akagisan that I bought in Gunma, Japan!
It is one of the best in the series, second only to the centrifugal pure Dai. I will savor it to my heart's content!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was clear and transparent with a gorgeous apple-like aroma.
The palate is clean and innocent, with a transparency like being on an ice stage. Later on, a mild and full flavor emerges with a melon-like glossy taste.
The elegant flavor of Yamada-Nishiki can be felt in abundance, and in the latter half, the dry sharpness and mild acidity typical of "Akagisan" bring it all together to create a well-rounded taste!
The clean, elegant "Akagisan" character and the tender flavor of Yamada Nishiki. It is truly superb ✨.
Every year when I celebrate my birthday, I feel like it's the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year.
Next year, I would like to drink the special Daiginjo, complete the Akagisan year-round lineup, and visit Kochi Prefecture, which I have not yet explored, to complete my 47-prefecture tour...!
Good evening, stst.
Happy Birthday 🎉.
I guess it's a year-end and New Year's tradition to celebrate with the most drunk Akagisan 🎵.
I can't seem to find any sake from Gunma Prefecture, but I'd like to try Akagisan someday 😊.
Happy birthday, stst 🎂㊗️
I'm sure it's sinking into your mind and body to celebrate with the special Akagisan that you have set your heart on. ☺️
Have a drunken night with Mt. Akagi to your heart's content 🍶😊.
Thank you, ma-ki-!
As you said, it is an indispensable spring, summer, fall, and winter tradition for both birthdays and New Year's ✨.
We have a wide selection of beautiful sake besides Akagisan, so if you see any Gunma sake, please give it a try!
Thank you, Aladdin!
I would not be where I am today if I had not met the Akagisan brand, so many things are just sinking in 😌.
Thank you for your continued support!
Good evening, stst! 🙋
Happy Birthday to you and yours! 🎉🎉🎉
I guess it's Mt. Akagi on your anniversary, isn't it!
Good luck in conquering the 47 prefectures! 👍👍
Thank you, KAB!
Even the part about not being available outside of Gunma.
We are just grateful for the miracle of meeting you in your travels ✨.
We look forward to working with you in the future!
Thank you, Mr. Kumagai!
Whenever I have something to do, it's Mt. Akagi, so I can no longer say that you are my partner 😌.
I look forward to working with you in the future!
Thank you, Pon!
Your kind words are much appreciated ✨
I also recommend Jun Dai Yamadanishiki, which is not a pure sake. I also recommend you to buy the more affordable type of sake, Jun Dai Yamadanishiki, at Takasaki station and other places 👐.
A cup of sake in Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture (^^)
Akagisan Activated Nigori Sake🍶 which is only available this time of year.
It was a gift from President Kondo of Kondo Sake Brewery 🙇♀️
Thank you, President Kondo!
We were so grateful that the president himself served us 🤩.
Hello, Mamo 😃
Oh! Are you transferring from Tochigi ‼️ we have nothing to do with you 😅Please do 😊.
Tochigi sake 🍶 information ℹ️ Please stock up a lot!
Jay & Nobby.
Thank you for your message... I knew that Tochigi prefecture has a lot of great sake, but I don't have many chances to drink it, so I will try it. ❣️
By the way, the person from Tochigi who was assigned to us was not good at sake.
Very freshly squeezed sake✨.
Fresh, rummy, and the overused term "adult soft drink".
It's so isotonic that you'd never guess it's isotonic ❔.
And the flavor that overflows gradually 🌾.
The cool, clear taste reminded me of the morning air in the swamps of Akagi Mountain when I was a student 🍃.
And looking at the label,
Kurohinoki in the middle... I climbed it... ⛰️...
I could drink it really pleasantly while recalling such things 😌.
This refreshing feeling is like a summer sake, but good this time of year too👍.
And it's a great value for money 🏆.
