Next is a different sake brewery!
They use the same Aizan (same rice polishing ratio and alcohol content), but AKABU labels it as Junmai Ginjo lol!
It has about the same sweetness and slight fizziness, but no bitterness or acidity!
Kangiku's Ree Diamond is smooth without any sticky sweetness lingering in the aftertaste!
On the other hand, AKABU's sake left me with the impression that it was too ricey!
It was an easy comparison to understand what kind of sake rice Aiyama is made from! I was surprised to see how much the rice varied from one brewery to another.
Personally, I preferred Kangiku to Akabu, but the Aizan lover I drank it with said he preferred Kangiku to Akabu after a blind taste comparison💦.
I'm not into Aizan myself, so maybe my perception is off.
KANGiku 4.2/5
AKABU 4.0/5
