Akabu was recommended to me by a friend from Iwate. The umami, aroma, and bitterness spread in linear proportion with time. The taste is gentle and smooth. Not many flavors show themselves, but it is very straightforward. More umami than dry. The bitterness is slightly stronger than the sweetness, but the bitterness in the aftertaste turns to sweetness and makes you unconsciously reach for it. I like it.
