This sake arrived at the beginning of the year from Akita.
He asked me, "What kind of Akita sake would you like to drink? I answered "Ryoseki" without hesitation! I answered "Ryoseki" without hesitation.
Ryoseki has been a representative brand in Akita for a long time, but nowadays "Hanayuup" brewed by the same brewery is more well-known. I knew I had to know more about Ryoseki, so I asked for it.
A few days later, I received the bottle and immediately opened it.
It was fresh, as if it was the first time it had been pressed. It has a little bit of the strength of the original sake, with a strong sweetness and umami.
The sake is +3 (or 4.1, depending on the year), which means that the sake is dry, but the sweetness is not as strong as it should be. It is a little different from the Ryozeki of the past. It seems to have evolved with the times and with the trends.
The sake is made from Akita rice called "Yume-obako. I don't think I've ever had it before.
Personally, I would have preferred it to be a little less assertive.
However, I am thankful to the owner for sending me Ryoseki, which is not easy to drink in Tokyo. It is better to express our impressions as they are.
