Sake purchased on a business trip to Akita🍶.
It was a part of a summer sake comparison set at an izakaya, and its refreshing taste made it perfect as a mealtime sake 🍏.

Akita Sake Enjoyment Party in Akita
The 5th glass: Asakura
This was the first time I drank this sake.
It is made from a sake rice called Hoshiakari, which was developed in the 1990s by the Research and Development Center of Tohoku Electric Power Co.
It is dry (+2), but the natural sweetness and umami of the rice makes it not feel so dry.
It is the most sake-like sake we had at the event (the other was Amanoto Junmai Hoshiakari brewed), and it tastes good even when it gets warm.
I would like to pair it with nabe (hot pot) or simmered dishes in the cold winter months.
The pairing with Kayaki was great!

Another delicious sake with good balance!
Kawabata Sakenabitei in Akita. A-Sakura super delicious dry. It has a little sourness and dryness, and the umami taste rolls around in the mouth and comes slowly. Mackerel stewed in miso goes well with it.
