ﾏｶﾛﾆThe rice and rice malt are labeled as being from Akita Prefecture and Akita rice. We slowly turned the four-pack bottle upside down, which had a slight amount of rice slime in it, and poured it into a glass while it was still cold.
The ginjo aroma is subdued, perhaps because it is cold, but in the mouth it has a pleasantly fine effervescence and a clean, clear, gorgeous flavor. It also has acidity, and as is typical of nama-zake, various flavors can be generally tasted, but everything is balanced on the moderate side, making it very tasty.
The name "Uki Uki" has no particular meaning according to the label on the back. But spring in Michinoku, it is very exciting, isn't it?
I would like to visit Michinoku in spring myself this year.
