HarugasumiNEXT5 COLORS 2022
きゅうり
A new product from NEXT5, a unit formed by young brewers from five sake breweries in Akita Prefecture.
The new product is a monthly release, starting in August, of a product that shares only the same rice, but has each brewery's own characteristics.
The August release is by the Kuribayashi Shuzoten, famous for its Haruka sake.
According to the Internet, the sake is so popular that it is sold by lottery, but it was sold at a liquor store that I often go to.
The sake bottle is beautiful, with a pinkish tint reminiscent of grapes. It looks like a high-class sake kept in a high-class club or something.
The taste is as delicious as it sounds!
The fruity taste and rice flavor in the mouth is more like wine than sake.
I have had Haruka before, but this is something completely different! I opened a bottle to commemorate my family's birthday, and it turned out to be a great memory.
