Akita Sake
Hanamaru Aizan Junmai Daiginjo
This is a Junmai Daiginjo from Hanamai, which was not available last year. This year, you can only buy it at any liquor store as a package deal. In my image, it is as rare as Tobiroki.
This sake is a junmai daiginjo made from Aizan, which is said to be the diamond of sake rice, polished to 45%. The aroma is mellow, as is typical of Hanayu. Compared to Omachi, it has a mellower sweetness and more acidity. The umami of the rice is a bit bigger. It is very tasty as a stand-alone sake or as a mealtime sake. It may be a waste, but I feel that heating it up a bit increases the sweetness.
I would like to compare the Omachi, Aizan, and Yamada-Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo now that they have a Yamada-Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo.
