Akashi Sake.
It's been about 10 years now, but this is the town where I lived for 3 years.
To be exact, it was in the Nishi Ward of Kobe City, but the nearest station was Akashi Station.
I had recorded Kazuhiko Ota's program in Akashi, and I really wanted to go there, so I went to the Akashi station area for the first time in a while.
I bought this at Tanakaya in Uonotana, which was mentioned in Kazuhiko Ota's program.
The aroma is a gentle fragrance that combines apricot fruity and graininess.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a firm umami flavor. It also has a gentle sweetness.
Even when served cold, it gives the impression of a full Junmai sake.
From the mid-palate, the acidity and bitterness in the back come out a little, and it finishes crisp and clean.
Not flashy, but solidly delicious.
The side dishes were Akashi sea bream sashimi and conger eel tempura.
Then, Tanakaya's sea bream with black pepper and sansho (Japanese pepper). This was the best.
The area is close to the sea, moderately urban, and rich in nature. It is also very easy to get to Kobe and Osaka.
I would like to live in this area again.
