AKABU Junmai Ginjo NEWBORN
Rating 4.4
Rice used: "Ginga" from Iwate Prefecture
Polishing 50%, 15% alcohol content
This is a freshly squeezed, freshly bottled, seasonal sake. It has a fresh taste and well-balanced finish unique to this time of year. The aroma is fresh and sweet, reminiscent of apples.
A light mouthfeel with a gaseous sensation. The juicy flavor spreads gorgeously from there. The gentle, deep sweetness, beautifully rounded acidity, and a hint of bitter flavor blend together to form a wonderful balance. After swallowing, it gently lingers on the palate with a sweet aftertaste.
Perhaps because it has been aged for some time, it is not so gassy, and the sweetness is heavier. A rounded feeling. Middle-bodied.
