Hori
I received the autumn sake, Amber, from Akabu.
The summer sake, Jade, was delicious, so I was curious to purchase the autumn version of the same series, Amber.
Poured into a glass, it looked pale yellow with a strong yellow tinge, just as the name "amber" implies. There is no gassy feeling, and the lack of air bubbles accentuates its glossy transparency.
The mouthfeel is smooth, as is typical of autumn sake, with a mild sweetness and gentle acidity that fills the mouth.
Although the direction of the taste is different from that of Jade, which was fresh and juicy, there is a commonality in the clean taste that has no unpleasant parts even though it has a deep flavor without any cloying taste.
In other words, it has a clean and elegant taste. That is not to say that the taste is lacking in individuality, but the balance and quality of the taste is unparalleled and unique.
I will continue to actively drink Akabu if I am interested in it.
