I have always wanted to drink Asukai, and finally got a bottle of the raw sake!
I heard that the brewer passed away suddenly in 2015 and the brewer's wife and sisters are running the business. I wonder if that's why the production is so low, and even the distributors don't get many bottles in stock.
It is Asukai's challenge sake with 13% alcohol and -5 sake.
It is indeed a low-alcohol sweet sake with a gentle taste, but it tastes a little astringent at the end. It also has a strong acidity. Perhaps it is a characteristic of the brewery, but it has a flavor that is not often found in sweet sake.
Thick sweetness like syrup.
A little bit like Akizuka in the latter half 🤔.

Hello bouken!
Congratulations on your wish for Asukai 🎉!
It's a brand whose sales channels are not so easy to find even in the local area near the brewery 🤔.
Next time we meet, shall I bring you "Manazuru"? I'm sure we can work something out 😁.

Good evening, Mr. Gyve 😃.
I've been trying to get a bottle of Nama Sake for a long time and it took me a long time to get it 💦 It's a brand you don't see very often even in your hometown 😳 Depending on when we meet, I'd like to get a bottle of Ara Shibori or Manazuru 🙏.
