Hori
We opened a bottle of Collage Junmai Ginjo Akaban Omachi.
It is a special bottle made from 100% rare Omachi from Akaban. I thought about comparing it with Bizen Oumachi, but I had to hold back because I had to reduce my stock.
The reason why we chose Akaban Oumachi instead of Bizen Oumachi is because we asked the staff at the liquor store and they recommended Akaban Oumachi.
The only Collage I've ever had was a light nigori-agarashi, so this is the first time I've ever had a clear one. The first time I saw Kuraku's Sumi-shu, it had a smooth and glossy texture. The aroma is not so strong.
It has a fruity sweetness and a strong flavor. The slight bitterness and alcohol add complexity to the taste.
The sweetness and the fruity taste are not always the same, but it's a very good quality.
The best way to enjoy it is to drink it with a glass of wine.
