Taste & Aroma
The nose has a fruity, apple-like aroma. It is a little light and a little spicy on the palate, but the gorgeousness gives it a slightly sweet taste. After a while in the mouth, umami and a slight bitterness can be felt. The aftertaste is mainly umami, slightly strong and long. The taste is refreshing, yet umami can be sensed, and it is delicious and never gets old.
Food to be served with it
This time we paired it with horse mackerel, bonito sashimi, and mapo tofu. It is not bad to enjoy its refreshing taste with rich dishes. However, this sake has the gorgeousness and delicacy of a daiginjo, so I think it goes well with lightly seasoned dishes. It is especially recommended to pair it with sashimi.
About the rice used, Akebono.
Akebono is often used by Kabishin Sake Brewery, and this sake seems to bring out the best of Akebono. While other sake tends to be half-hearted in taste, this one is well put together with its lightness as its main flavor. I am glad that I could find the goodness of Akebono, which is lightness and umami, although it may vary from person to person.
