Akebono Shuzo's Akebono Seishun, well known for Tenmei. I drink Tenmei from time to time, but this label is new to me, so I opened the bottle 🎉.
The aroma is gentle and subdued. It has a slight viscosity and seems to be quite sweet, but the bitterness soon develops. It then fades away leaving a complex umami taste.
At 17 degrees alkalinity, the flavor is thick and robust from the first sip 👊.
This Daiginjo is made from Yamada-Nishiki polished to 40%. We enjoyed this clear yet rich umami sake 😋.

Slight muscat and melon-like overtones
The same mild aroma as the first rise, with the aroma of rice malt, the soft umami of rice and sweetness spreads with a rather firm bitterness, and it quickly finishes with the lingering umami of rice.
It is fresh and tasty with a good amount of sweetness for its sake strength, but the slight bitterness tightens it up.
It goes well with meals and is also delicious on its own.
This is one of the bottles I harvested in Chitose on the way to work.
This one might be the main one!
It went well with sagari with sundiner sauce, squid ring salad, and stew.
