Purchased at a sake pot in Inzai. I like Izumo Fuji, so I keep a regular eye on it, but the summer sake was good...but only hiyaoroshi...I bought it just in case I missed the timing and couldn't buy it...but it was a great decision.
The aroma is not flashy, but it foreshadows a pink grapefruit-like sourness,
The palate is dry, with a structure as the acidity gradually spreads in the mouth, but the richness of the acidity also gives the impression of pink grapefruit. The aftertaste is quite long.
It is not a very eastern style sake, and although it is not flashy, it is well made. Izumo Fuji is still a seasonal sake that I would like to keep under control.
Bonjour_kohei, good morning 😃.
Izumo Fuji's seasonal sake is delicious 😋.
I'm looking forward to seeing the snow clouds following the autumn clouds 🤗I hope you can bring out the spring clouds if possible😄.
Izumo Fuji AKIMO
Junmai Hiyakioroshi
The aroma is subdued, but the alcohol is sharp and slightly lactic.
The color is clear, slightly yellow and shiny.
The texture is slightly smooth and the acidity and soft umami spread quickly in the mouth.
The mouthfeel is somewhere between light and smooth.
Fresh aroma with hints of lemon and muscat.
The base has a slight sense of maturity and richness, with an elegant depth that is gradually delicious.
The fresh acidity that spreads from the beginning lingers until the end, while the astringency and bitterness tighten the finish, and then it quickly cools down.
The returning aroma is soft and light with a sense of freshness and maturity.
The transition from summer to autumn comes to mind.
A sake to be enjoyed in the evening when the light is a little brighter.
Izumo Fuji
Akumo Junmai Hiyadori
The color is slightly yellowish.
The aroma and the hints of aroma are exquisitely difficult to describe, and while the aroma is of calm grain and cheese, the degree of these gives the impression of a work in progress, with a future still to come.
However, considering the release timing of the brewery, this is probably the best decision, and the balance that exists at this moment is certainly precious.
If I were to speculate, I would say that the timing of the release was calculated backwards from the price. On the other hand, if it is said that the release was timed at a certain point, I have no choice but to believe it.
There is a long way to go, but this balance is only available now, and this balance has a value that will not be found before or after, so it is a bottle that is easy to find the meaning of trying.
And needless to say, it is simply delicious!
The name "Akimo" is intended to create a melancholy and gentle sake, like the clouds illuminated by a bright red autumn sunset.
It can be enjoyed at a wide range of temperatures, from cold sake to hot sake.
Sakonishiki: Slightly sweet with a hint of sourness. The lingering bitterness and astringency are also nice 😋.
I would like to drink this sake with grilled salt fish or grilled ginkgo nuts 🍶 Yummy 😘.
