Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 Part 1
Akita Shun Ginjo 2020 is a project in which 30 breweries in Akita Prefecture participate, and if you purchase a bottle of sake, you'll receive a random selection of sake from 30 breweries. It's great to receive popular brands like Shinsei and Yamamoto, but it's also a great way to get a chance to taste brands you wouldn't normally drink. This time I bought a 3-bottle set and received Kariho, Kinmon Akita and Okushimizu. I took these three bottles to a drinking party at a friend's house.
We started with the Kariho.
The bottle is stylish because it was designed by Shinsei. Each brewery has its own image color, and although Kariho looks black at first glance, it is said to be a "roiro" color. Kariho looks black at first glance, but I heard that it is "roiro" in color.
You can feel the sweetness and flavor of the rice in your mouth from the very beginning. The aftertaste is clear and clean. I was expecting Kariho to be dry, but this sake has a relatively sweet taste. The heavy and full-bodied flavor was a real gem.
